May 20, 2022 Mrs Canning Leave a comment

Another busy week in P3 and P3/2. Read all about it below.

In numeracy, we have been learning about length. We have been measuring different objects and lines. We know that you measure in millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. We know that millimetres is the smallest unit of measurement. We measured lots of art straws and tried to create a picture with them.

In literacy, we have been continuing to learn about writing narrative pieces of writing. This week we wrote about a Pharaoh in a desert. We have also continued to learn about speech marks and when to use them. We have also been spotting the silly word this week in a passage.

This is health week for us and we have been trying to do the daily mile. We also had a taster session of Judo which was great fun. This week we also thought about things that we are grateful for. Then we worked together to create a poster about what is most important to us in St Nicholas.

In Fun Start Fitness, we were learning about the importance of Water. We know we need to drink 2 litres a day and that it is the most important resource on earth. We enjoyed playing team games and encouraging each other.

In RERC, we have been learning about the importance of Mary and other names that she is called.

In our Egyptian topic, we started to find out about some of the Egyptian Gods. We also presented our group posters about the Egyptians to our class.

We are looking forward to our Monday holiday. Thank you for reading our post.

This week in P3 and P3/2 we have been working very hard on lots of different things. Read all about our learning below:

In Literacy, we have been continuing to learn cursive script. We even tried to join letters together this week. We have also been continuing to learn our spelling patterns. In PM writing we have been learning about information reports. We know that they need a title, general statement, description and evaluation. We tried to write about fireworks after we completed some research on the laptops.

In Numeracy, we have been learning about doubles. We know they are a quick way to add two numbers together. WE have also looked at near doubles as we know that 6+7 is the same as double 6+1.

In HWB, we have been looking at ways to make the planet happy again. We know we should try to look after plants and animals and save water and energy. We created posters about all the different ways we can help the planet.

In RERC, we look at St Francis of Assisi and how he cared to the animals and nature. We know that we should care for them too. We also looked at the story of creation this. We know God created a beautiful world for us and we should look after it.

In Art, we created firework pictures using black card and oil pastels.

We watched the Lorax theatre show on Monday. It was very good and was all about the environment and trees. We know that COP 26 is happening in Glasgow and we climate change is important for our future.

Primary 3/2 have been working very hard tis week. Keep reading to find out what we have been learning.

In literacy, this week we have been creating targets for this term. This gives us a goal to work towards and we thought about how we can achieve this goal. We also completed a narrative story about a lost polar bear. We know all the different features of a narrative text. We continued to work on spelling this week. We also learned about past tense and know how to make a verb into a past tense verb.

In maths, we have been learning about measure. We have been measuring the length of things. We know that you measure length in millimetres, centimetre, metres and kilometres. We know that there are 10 mm in 1cm and 100cm in 1m.

We have been learning about your skeleton and the names of our bones. Our skeleton is important because it protects the organs in our body. Without a skeleton we won’t be able to stand up, talk, walk etc.

We have been using pattern to decorate a vase this week then we used paints to create the flowers. They look beautiful in the area.

This week we were learning to football rounders. We were learning to work as a team and listen carefully to instructions.

We looked a climate zone and thought about facts we know about the area. We researched the area and found out the weather of the area and animals that live there.

This week we set targets for numeracy and mathematics too. We thought about an area we felt we needed to improve on and how we could achieve our target.
