Literacy

This week we learned about the letter ‘W’ as well as practised the sounds that, we have learned beforehand through colouring, craft activities, and reading. We wrote our own books about Floppy and Kipper. In addition, as it is World Nursery Rhyme week, we learned about rhyming words and even made our own rhymes! Our teachers were so impressed!

 

Numeracy

We focused on using different concrete materials (Rekenrek, Numicons, Flashcards, 100 square, etc.) and explored different ways of making the number 10. Additionally, we were using the number line in our learning how to add two numbers together. We kept practising counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.

 

Learning across the Curriculum

As it is Catholic Education Week, we were learning about our Parish in Broxburn and all of us now know that Father Jeremy is our Parish Priest. We were surprised to find out that the church is called St John Cantius and St Nicholas – that is how our school is named! In addition, our teachers showed us pictures of our church and we coloured in a stained glass window templates. We also learned about St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland, as her feast was on the 16th of November. We found out that she was a very good person.

Have a lovely weekend,

P3 and P3/2 are working hard

Leave a comment

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.

In Maths we were learning about non-standard unit measurements. We checked how many feet our classroom is. We also checked objects in the playground using natural materials e.g. sticks or stones.

We learnt about a new artist called Jackson Pollock, we tried to express ourselves using his method of painting. It was such good fun!

In literacy, we were writing about our holidays and, we’re proud to say, remembered all the SC. We were learning about speech bubbles and speech marks then we made our own comics using all the knowledge we gained. We were learning about a new sound i-e, we know now how to read words bike, like, white etc. It was not very tricky.

Outdoor learning and doing a mile a day were great – especially in this lovely weather we have been having, recently.

In digital learning we were learning how to use the Paint app – we loved it!

Also, Yesterday was national EARTH day so to celebrate this, we wrote acrostic poems about our planet, it was so interesting, later we learned how we can save our planet by learning about Global Goal no. 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, so we made some posters about this and agreed on some next steps. We decided to bring our water bottles as much as we can but if we forget, we are going to use just one plastic cup per day. The cups will have our names written on them so we will know who has which cup. We also decided to not moan when we have to wear clothes after siblings and that it is a good idea to give the clothes that are too small for us to charity. It will help our Earth definitely.

Lastly, as part of R.E., we carried on our discussion about Easter and what happened then.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!!
