Snow Day Activities

Leave a comment
Boys and girls, I have put a range of activities on to your glow page to keep you busy in case of school closures during the winter months!
Practise your times tables either write them down and ask a family member to quiz you, make up a fun way to learn them or use this link – http://www.transum.org/tables/times_tables.asp
 
    
Make a visit to the library and take out an interesting book that you can recommend to a friend once you have finished it.
Write a book report for your favourite book, if you need help with this just search for ‘book reports’ on the internet and you will find lots of useful sites.
Invent a fun way to practice your spelling – be prepared to tell the class!
Experiment time! Why not create an experiment about your senses. Choose a range of objects, blindfold a friend or relative and investigate whether they can work out the objects just by using their sense of touch and smell. Got another idea for an experiment?! Write it down and bring it into school!
Practise learning your rights and responsibilities:

Remember to practise using analogue clocks reading the time.

What time does you favourite television programme start.

How long does it last.

Take a note of the time you go out to play or watch TV or play with your games.

When did you start/stop?

How long did you play for.
Some snow activities:
How many snow balls can you make in a minute?
Build a snowman and make sure you make its face symmetrical.
How many different 3D shapes can you make in the snow?
Draw a lovely winter picture.
Can you make a snow angel?

Primary 3 – week ending 6th September

Leave a comment

Lots of exciting things happening in primary 3! We are just loving our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory topic, we have drew pictures of different characters, written a short story about them and also designed our very own Wonka bars! Miss McKenna has hidden a golden ticket inside one of these bars and we can’t wait to try and find it! If we find it we will get a treat from the treat box!

We have also been working very hard to count in 2s starting from an odd number and at home we have been busy learning our times tables!  We have also been experimenting with different shapes and learning about symmetry.
