A week in P3 and P3/2

In PE we were working on our teamwork skills by playing Dodgeball.

Yesterday, we learnt about St Patrick and we created some mosaic shamrocks using tissue paper in different shades of green.

We wrote fantastic beginnings this week working on making sure we included who, what, where and when in our introduction to an imaginary piece of writing.

We were working on putting things in alphabetical order and working on our dictionary skills finding different words and their meaning.

In Maths we were working on the 4 times table, learning how if we multiply by 2 we can find our answer to the 4 times table by doubling it. We were making arrays to help us too.

We also practised rounding numbers up or down to make them friendly numbers. This makes it easier for us to add or subtract.

Some of us went to Mass this week, and practised for making our Sacrament of Reconciliation which we are making on Tuesday night. This week we have been learning two songs to sing during this.

In Music, we were learning different actions to songs.

In Spanish, we were practising our numbers up to 20 by singing songs.

We continued reading our class novel, The Twits.

In our topic lesson, we found out about the Greendykes Bings and we were discussing the different jobs to do with shale mining. We were acting out characters with different jobs and guessing what character our classmates were, by asking them different questions such as how many hours do you work and how much are you paid a week?
