As part of our James and the Giant Peach topic, P3 made a green grasshopper. We used a cardboard egg box for his body. We used lolly sticks and pegs for his legs and we used pipe cleaners for his feelers. We used crepe paper for his wings and we glued on googly eyes too.
Welcome to our weekly reflection by Mason and Georgie . We have enjoyed making our dream catchers using different materials. In the gym hall we have been learning to play co-operatively and learning how to control the ball with your foot. We have been learning to use a textbook. Thank you for reading our latest post.
Our class have been reading James and the Giant Peach and we have made a lovely centipede. First we got a long piece of foam, then we used a blunt needle and string to sew 100 legs on. Next we painted the centipede green. We each designed 2 pairs of boots, and we cut them out and laminated them. We had a challenge pairing up the boots and fixing them onto the centipede’s legs. Last we added googly eyes. We had fun making it, and we are very proud of our centipede.
Today in primary 3/4 we have been reflecting on our learning over the past week. We worked in groups to share our ideas. Here are some of them:
“I have been learning to add and subtract numbers” Keira
“Our group was learning to add in 100’s eg: 300 plus 400 equals 700.” Cameron and Leo
“I enjoyed the visit from Karen from the Youth choir who taught us how to keep a beat to the music.” Debbie
“I enjoyed creating our own maths game, demonstrating our learning of adding and subtracting numbers up to 10,000” Lewis D
“After reading the BFG dream chapter, I wrote my own story about my ideal dream. ” Liam D
Thank you for reading our ideas!
In The Den we have taken an interest in puppets. This week we have enjoyed playing with the finger puppets and we even made our own wooden spoon puppets! We are looking forward to planning and putting on our own show over the next few weeks – we all have fabulous imaginations!
P3 are working on the novel James and the Giant Peach. We are enjoying the story, and we have reached the part when James has joined lots of creatures inside the giant peach. This week is Maths Scotland week, and in writing today we were calculating how many legs were inside the giant peach. We wrote lovely sentences, and gave our writing a peachy effect with sponged watercolours at the end.
Primary 3 are very excited to be learning to write using joined up letters. We have been practising joining ‘ig’. It will be lovely to see the joined up letters in writing across the curriculum – try to practise these joined letters at home.
Primary 3 have been learning about Piet Mondrian. We created lovely designs using only primary colours – red, blue and yellow.
We have been finding out about each other. We are all unique, but we are working together in team P3.
We have used our hands to help create our class charter.
Welcome to Primary 3. We have been working hard getting to know everyone. We have lots of exciting things to learn this year.
