The boys and girls in Primary 3E have been very busy since coming back after Christmas!  We have begun learning about a new topic called “The Swinging Sixties”.  We have learned about the clothes that people wore in the 1960s, and about some important events which took place during the decade.  We made a short powerpoint to share these facts and the children were very keen to add animations! We enjoyed a visit from West Lothian Library Services who brought in some 1960s toys for us to look at.

In Literacy, we looked at some Scottish poems to celebrate Burns Night.  We had great fun trying to say some of the Scots words!  We have been working hard to learn spelling patterns and we have been putting in extra effort to our joined up handwriting to get ready for Primary 4!

In Numeracy, we have been learning about addition and are moving onto 2 digit plus 2 digit sums.  We have also been learning about time.  We will be moving on to learning about quarter past and quarter to in February.

We will keep you updated with what we are learning throughout the term and will include some photographs in our next post!
