Primary 3 have been working with Mrs Smith on designing and constructing models while cooperating in a group. This is part of our Technology and will eventually link to our next class topic. The children had the challenge to build a tower from the materials provided – marshmallows and spaghetti, which you will see from our photographs. Our challenge worked to an extent, but unfortunately the spaghetti broke easily! Thankfully each group did manage to build something. This week the children will try using wooden sticks and marshmallows to see if that makes a difference.
Primary 3 have been continuing to work on Time in our Numeracy and Maths. We have looked at recording times on clocks as well as saying times one/two hours before and after a given time. We have been finding Time tricky, but if we continue to practise at home as well as in school, this should help us!
For World Book Day this week, we have taken part in a number of activities. The theme for this year is ‘Share a Million Stories’. We have been sharing some of the stories we enjoy most, and have picked out quotes that we like best from these. We have also listened to short parts of a number of stories which we have really enjoyed. The children have created mini book covers, book bubbles on why we share stories, posters to advertise our favourite books and made book marks. We will use some of these to display in our library area in class. Hopefully next week we can share some pictures of us in our pyjamas with our teddies and favourite stories.
