I would like you to find something in your house and use as many adjectives as you can to describe it.

Numeracy
Choose a number and then write it as many different ways as possible – Can you think of different ways you can add up to make the number? What about different ways to represent the number using drawings.
Here is an article with lots of examples of the different ways you can show numbers.
Mrs Docherty and Mrs Harding would love to hear about the work you have been doing and see pictures of completed tasks. We now have a Primary 3 email which you can use to keep in touch and share with us your learning.

Science
Hello Everyone – We have a fresh challenge for you this week! This week we are building a table. Now like last week you can build it anyway you want. If you want to make it with lego that is ok, or if you want to make a proper table with adult supervision that is ok too. It is your challenge and it is open to how you want to express it. However the way I would like you to make it, is with paper. I would like you to get 4 bits of paper and make 4 tubes to make the four legs. I would then like you to put a large thin material across the top of the four legs. Once you have your table start putting weight on the top. Books are good but you can use what ever you like to add weight.
So to make it clear – 4 bits of paper into tubes, something across the top of the table that is strong and light and thin (like a hard back book). Then add some weight. As an extension please take a photo and measure how much weight the table can hold. I wonder how much it can hold?
