sun moon and stars | St Nicholas Primary School

We have been working hard in P3 and P3/2 this week. Read all about our learning.

Maths and Numeracy

We have been learning about time and looking at digital and analogue clocks and saying the right time we were looking at half past and o’clock. We have played time games on the ipads and matching games. We played a board game all about time too which helped us see the time on an analogue and digital clock

We read the story Pezzettino and created creatures using blocks and squares. We had to use fractions when colouring the creatures.

Science

We have continued with Sun moon and stars . We know the moon spins around us and we spin around the sun. The moon takes one month to go around the earth, the earth takes one day to spin round. The earth and moon take one year to spin round the sun.

Literacy:

We worked on our class novel The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark; we made predictions about what we thought might happen in Chapter Two. We also created questions to ask our partner about what chapter 2 was all about. We have continued to learn about cursive script in handwriting. We also picked new Accelerated reader books.

In P.E we were skipping with ropes. It was tricky but fun.

RERC:

This week we were learning about belonging. We belong in the school community, the church community, in our families.

Outdoor learning

We made bird feeders and hung them outside with bird food in them so that we can see the local wildlife.

Health and Wellbeing:

We checked our trusted adults in health and wellbeing. We were also learning about resilience and about trying again after making a mistake. We were also talking about our zones of regulation and how we can feel different feelings throughout the day.

Art

We added trees to our warm and cool colour landscapes using black oil pastels. They look fantastic.

This week P3 and P3/2 have been very busy.

In Numeracy, we have been learning about time. We have been learning about how long many minutes/hours/days/years are in a given time. For example we know that 1 minute is 60 seconds and there are 52 weeks in one year.

In Art, we have been learning about hot and cold colours. We know red, yellow and orange are warm colours and blue, purple and green are cold colours. We created a background of a sky using either hot or cold colours. Next week we will add to the background

In Literacy, we have been learning about a and an. We know we use an when words start with a vowel – a, e, i, o and u. We have been continuing to learn about cursive script. We have been joining letters together. F is tricky. We started to read the owl who was afraid of the dark. We will use this book for literacy lesson and it links to our new topic about sun, moon and stars.

We have started our new topic which is sun, moon and stars. We thought about what we know and what we would like to learn. We can’t wait to get started next week.

We have completed some assessments this week so that we can see what we remember and what our nest steps in learning will be.

In PE we were learning about fitness. We completed lots of circuits.

In Music, we were learning about Scottish music. We will be singing the songs soon. We also looked at percussion instruments.

Thank you for reading our blog. We have enjoyed being back at school.

Another busy week in P3 and P3/2

Happy New Year from P3 and P3/2
