P3’s week

This week in Primary 3 we have been looking at durations of time. Mrs Hillan has given us two times and we have had to work out how long is between them. We have been finding this tricky, but collaborating and communicating in small groups for this has helped to boost our confidence. We will continue to work on this. We have discussed how it is important it is to know the time so that we aren’t late for our work in the future or we don’t miss an appointment. We also discussed that we need to know how long is between two times so that we know how long something lasts, for example when we go to see a movie at the cinema.

We are now becoming more confident in showing our understanding of a text through completing our comprehension activities. We have been able to use these skills to then help us build up an understanding of our new class novel just by looking at the front cover and then by reading the blurb. We were all able to make predictions of what we think is going to happen in the story and we could then change our predictions once we had read the blurb. We have enjoyed working collaboratively to create a piece of drama retelling our predictions!

We all enjoyed celebrating World Book Day last week, and as promised, here are some pictures of us in our pjs with our teddies and books!

This week in Primary 3

Primary 3 have been learning about Time in Numeracy. This week some of us have been showing our knowledge of half past the hour, whilst the rest of us have been sharing our knowledge of quarter past. We have been demonstrating this knowledge through communicating with everyone during the class teach, through recording it and also by playing some online Time games. This is something we will continue to explore and extend our knowledge of.  Next week we will hopefully create our own clocks to help us.

In literacy this week we have been discussing the importance of comprehension and why it is necessary that we understand what we read. The children were able to explain how this helps them now for their own enjoyment of a text as well as being able to explain it to others, but also how these skills will be vital in the future when it comes to interviewing for a job as well as within the jobs we may pick. We decided that being able to understand text of any sort would be a key factor in all jobs. We have been using our group reading books to show our comprehension skills and we have been answering different types of questions to demonstrate this. Primary 3 have also started looking at the Blooms Superheroes who help us to use and develop our skills in Remembering, Understanding, Applying our own knowledge, Analysing, Evaluating and Creating within our reading.
