This week in Primary 3 we have introduced our mini topic ‘Oor Wee Tour of Scotland’. We have been working alongside P3/4 which has seen us using the elements of our Social Intelligence Skills – collaboration, communication, leading learning within our groups and being aware of the feelings of others within our groups when listening to and accepting everyone’s answers. We created mind maps of what we already know about Scotland and then came together as a whole group to discuss what we would like to find out Scotland. P3/4 then helped us to locate the main cities of Scotland on a map. We used an atlas to help us.
We also all decided on our own New Year’s Resolutions which have now been displayed in class. It will be good to look back on these to see if we have managed to stick to them!
This week in Number Talks we have been looking at Making Ten. The pupils came up with lots of different sums to do this again this week. We were also very lucky to have Jemma from Nationwide in to visit us during our Numeracy time. She talked to us about her role within the Building Society and spoke to us about saving money. We got to see some of the fancy 50 pence pieces that have been in circulation too! Jemma very kindly brought each of us our own little piggy bank which we got to paint and take home!
