Another busy week in Primary 3

We have been working hard all week.
In language, we are learning the ‘oi’, ‘ea’ or ‘sh’ sounds.  We have been making our words using magnetic letters, and we are trying to spot these words in our reading texts.

We have been writing reports about the 50th birthday celebration last week.

In our topic work, Barnaby bear has finished his travels in Scotland.  We had the opportunity to look at some artwork by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.  We tried making our own pictures of roses in the Mackintosh style.  In PE we have been working on linking some dance steps together to make a dance in the style of a Scottish Country Dance.  We are having great fun!

In maths, we have been learning to count forwards and backwards in 10’s.  We don’t always start on a 10 number – sometimes we try 3,13,23,33.  It is a challenge when we cross over 100, but we are practising every day.  In money, we have been adding up coins, and beginning to calculate change.

 

This week Primary 3 have a new topic

We had an exciting reveal about our new topic.  A suitcase and a bear with a map arrived in our class. The bear is called Barnaby and we are going to learn about our own country and perhaps some different countries with him.  This week, we have been learning about Scotland, and we can now locate it on a world map.

We have started to learn more about money.  Today was a non-uniform day and we were collecting coins for charity.  (Roman)  First, we sorted all our coins and grouped the same kinds together.  We had £1’s, 50p’s, 20p’s and 10p’s.  Then we added each type of coin up.  Last we added all the totals up and we had £11.10 altogether. (Erin)

On Wednesday, we went for a walk outside to the field and we collected some leaves (Gracie).  The leaves are falling from the trees now that it is Autumn.  When we came inside we wrote acrostic poems about leaves. (Joseph)

 

 

P3 New Resources Arrive

Although we have had a very short week as we were on holiday on Monday and Tuesday,  our time in class has been very exciting.  Last week we put together a wish list for some resources that we would like for our classroom, and most of the things we wanted were ordered.  They all started to arrive this week.

We are all looking forward to putting our new resources to good use in class next week.
