Good morning everyone!
As this is our last week in Primary 3 before the summer holidays, Mrs Docherty and I have planned a bit of a different week of activities. This week, we are all going on a trip to Disney World!!! We will be learning about Maths, Literacy, Health and IDL through Disney-themed activities 🙂 (You have Mrs Docherty to thank for the fun ideas!)
First stop – Health and Wellbeing
Get moving with a Moana-inspired workout adventure!
Second stop – Literacy
Create a passport that you can use during your trip to Disney World! Remember to include a front cover, your name, a picture of yourself and lots of space for characters names. (Fold a piece of paper in half to make a mini booklet.)
Each time you see a character this week in a ride, video or song, write their name in your passport! How many characters will you meet by the end of the week?
Third stop – Maths and Numeracy
To go on each ride, you must be taller than the items listed. For each ride, first estimate if you think you are tall enough to ride. Then measure using the objects listed. Keep a note of your answers in your jotter.
Ride 1 —> 6 pieces of cutlery
Ride 2 —> 6 of your own shoes/socks
Ride 3 —> 3 books
Ride 4 —> 15 blades of grass
If you have a measuring tape at home you could measure how tall you are. Can you find 3 things that are taller and 3 things that are shorter than you? Measure the height of each object.
Have a break at lunch time as we will be continuing our adventure afterwards!

Mrs Harding
J really enjoyed these tasks this morning. He did the Moana video and has also drawn out his passport.
J completed the Numeracy Task. Once he’d estimated and measured the chosen objects for the rides he then chose to measure a shelving unit, his bunk bed and a door for items taller than him.
Aw I’m glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it will be a fun week, and something a bit different for the last week of term 🙂
Did you measure in centimetres? Were your estimates close to the real measurements?
Remember to fill in your passport throughout the week to see how many characters you come across!
