Active spelling

January 29, 2016 Mrs Gough 1 Comment

We have been practising our spelling words in a variety of ways this term to help us learn them better.

We have used lego and pipe cleaners to make the shape of each letter.

We have been spelling the words on each others backs and cheerleading each letter according to its height.

We used shaving foam to write each letter and we’re going to begin to write the letters in sand too.

We have been using different spelling cards to help us write them in our jotters. We have written letters to Superman, completed rainbow writing, backwards writing, fancy letters and many more.

We really enjoy practising our spelling this way.

Challenge club begins

January 29, 2016 Mrs Gough 1 Comment

This week in Challenge club we completed 2 STEM challenge cards. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

The first challenge we took part in was trying to get 2 ping pong balls to float above a hairdryer that was on. We got 1 to float but found it difficult for the other one to stay in the air. This is because they kept on hitting each other and the air current could only work around one ping pong ball.

The second challenge we completed was to make a car safe if it had a crash. We designed a crumple zone for the front, back and sides of the car. We used paper, sellotape, masking tape and straws to make the crumble zone on our toy car. We tested our crumple zones by shooting a car towards a wooden block. Some of us were successful and the crumple zone survived, some did not!

We can’t wait for the next challenge club next week.

We celebrated Robert Burn’s birthday with our own Burns Supper. We danced to music which was good fun. Elise, Ellie and Natalie gave us a Scottish Country Dance performance which was amazing. We sang songs too! We had shortbread, Irn Bru and haggis. Jack said the haggis was awesome! Lilly said is was very good.

Numeracy in primary 3/4

Lewis said, ” We have been learning about money and I have enjoyed giving the correct change to people.”

We have been using lots of different ICT games and Elise enjoyed playing igloo shopping.

It was really tricky to work out what coins we needed but we kept practicing and eventually we got it.
