Well done to Arriah who was our Star of the Week on Friday.

Arriah worked very hard all week and was a great role model to the rest of the children.

Congratulations! 👏

 

Last week, P3/2 had fun discovering 3D shapes dotted around the classroom.

We found some examples of cubes;

…and  cuboids,

… and spheres,

…and cylinders.

We also talked about the properties of 3D shapes.

The boys and girls in P2/1 enjoyed some purposeful play at the end of the day today.

Finally, a few budding engineers used their imagination and created a car, a castle and an aeroplane, complete with spinning propeller.

Awesome afternoon P2/1!

Lots of great learning opportunities during purposeful play this afternoon.

Today P2/1 were celebrating ‘What makes us unique’ by wearing odd socks. What a great start to Anti-Bullying Week!

Primary 3/2 have been learning about litres and millilitres.

A few weeks we were trying to fill a 1 litre jug using different sized containers.

Today we we’re practising reading scales on different sized containers. We also counted how many times we had to use the 100ml jug to fill the 1 litre jug. It was 10 times which was a total of 1000ml.

We now know the 1000ml equals 1 litre.

 

This week we have been learning about magnetism.

We know that magnets are attracted to some special metals and that these magnets have a North and and South pole.

We took part in several games and activities involving magnets.

#1 We predicted which objects we thought would be attracted to a magnet and then used a magnet to checked if we were right.

#2 We searched a treasure chest for magnetic objects.

#3 We tried to find the strongest magnet by counting how many paper clips it could pick up.

#4 We played a magnetic fishing game and tried to pick up Spongebob characters.

#5 We had to find objects around the classroom which were attracted to a magnet.

#6 We had to pick up spiders with hidden numbers underneath and then count up our total points at the end of the game.

This week we’ve been learning how to measure weight.

We had fun learning how to use the balance scales.

We then compared different fruits and vegetables to see which was heavier.

Finally we counted how many vegetables were equal to 1kg.

P3/2 have been carrying out  experiments involving rockets. Last week we made our own rockets and this week we made some modifications to see if we could get them to fly further.

First, we practised our measuring skills in the classroom.

Next we went outside to launch our rockets. Our modifications included adding some weight to the end and also adding wings.

The rockets went so far we had to use a trundle wheel to measure the distance!

Once we’d completed our experiment we recorded our results.

Good job boys and girls! 👏

The boys and girls in P2/3 have made a great start to the new school year.

Yesterday, we used our numeracy skills to play 4-in-a-row.
