P.E
We continued with our block of athletics. This week the children were learning about throwing for height and distances. To warm ourselves up we played a game of human skittles. This allowed the children to understand the different kind of throws that are needed in different situations. It also gave the children an opportunity to revise their jumping skills as the balls were rolling towards them.
Maths
This week the children continued exploring money. The learning this week focused on subtraction from a total amount, this also links in with what we are learning in our numeracy work. This will help the children to deepen their understanding of how money works when we start with an amount and then we purchase something we end up with less. Maybe the children can use this knowledge when spending their pocket money!
Topic
P3/4 and P3 came together this week to rehearse the final run through of their t.v adverts. The children were given the opportunity to expand their skills in listening and talking, collaboration and leadership within this lesson. After, the children then performed their adverts to the class. These performances were recorded and played back to them the following day. The children all done an amazing job convincing their audience why people should visit Glasgow.
Sharing The Learning
P3/4 and I would like to say thank you again to all of the parents/carers that joined us on Tuesday afternoon for our sharing the learning session. The children really enjoyed having you all there. The focus of this lesson was exploring persuasive language and looking at how we can do this in an advertisement. The children and parent/carers were as to create a poster convincing tourists to swap the high temperatures and to spend some time in our beautiful country. The end results of this tasks were fantastic, so a massive well done from me! There was some great taglines using persuasive language and the pictures were detailed and bright of some of the amazing landmarks that this country has to offer.
Another great week P3/4! See you all again on Monday!
