Happy New Year from P3/4!!

It is nice to be back together after our Christmas holidays and are looking forward to the term ahead. A reminder to Parents/Carers to ensure your child brings gym kit on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays (P4 children only) and please ensure your child has appropriate indoor shoes.

Literacy

After watching Newsround, we were interested to learn that schools in Paris may open later, allowing children to spend more time at home. This inspired us to write a persuasive piece of writing on the subject and to include different points of view.  Fraser thought it would be a good idea to stay home longer as he could” spend more time caring for his guinea pigs.” Debbie thought it would be a good idea for schools in Scotland to open at the normal time as she has to ” get up at the same time anyway as her Mum goes to work.”

Numeracy

During our number talks sessions we have been revising our strategies to help us double numbers. Aleena and Liam suggested two different methods to use. Please keep practising this at home.

 

A Smelly and Tasty week in Primary 3

   

We have been very busy using our senses this week.  We had a smelly quiz where we were trying to guess what things were, just from their smell.  We also had a tasting session, and we were focusing on whether the tastes were sweet, sour, salty or bitter.  We found it quite hard.

We were also trying our hand at writing sensory poems.  It was quite difficult as we were trying to include each of the 5 senses.  It looks like, it smells like, it sounds like, it tastes like, it feels like.

We are continuing to work in maths on rounding to the nearest ten.  This week we also had a visit from the Transport Police, reminding us to stay away from the railway.

Oor Wullie and other delights

 

We have enjoyed creating our own Oor Wullie stories. We used tableaux in drama and took photographs of them. We got our ideas from magazines and cartoon strips. It was really fun.

We have been working on long division in maths and continuing with our mental maths and practising our tables with Big Maths Beat That etc.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

P5/6 have been looking at the works of Scottish artist/architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We looked at example of his work and discussed their features.

 

We then sketched some of the these features in our sketch books.

We will then use these ideas to create our own art work inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
