Primary 3/4 have had a busy few weeks settling into their new class.
Children have been learning about time and time periods. We have also been thinking about place value in our number work.
In reading, we have been thinking about the main ideas in our book. We have been sharing ideas and using good listening and talking skills in our reading groups.
In our topic time, we have been working in groups to plan, design and evaluate our own rockets. Look out for our pictures next week.

Our topic for learning this term is Animal Kingdom. So far we have learned that vertebrates are animals with a backbone and invertebrates are animals without a backbone. We have learned there are 5 vertebrate groups and have been able to sort animals into these groups according to their characteristics.
We are also planning individual research projects linked to vertebrates. We are using ICT and literacy skills to help us to create our project.

P6 have been getting to grips with reading, partitioning and mentally adding multiples to numbers beyond 100,000. They have been developing strategies to mentally add this morning so that they are quicker and will not need to rely on the the good old ‘chimney sums’.
