We started to explore our context further this week; exploring Scotland’s place in the world, comparing our geographical makeup to North America’s. The pupils used Atlases and a globe to explore the world’s continents and North America further. We linked this to our work on place value, looking at how many miles apart some countries are. Next week we are going to plan and budget for a trip using real live websites, costings and forecasts.
This week in P3a we have been working on numbers to 100, talking about number before, after & between. We have been sharing out strategies for adding within 20. In Literacy we have been learning about nouns & adjectives and how to write a description. We have been introduced to Epic Reading on the iPads, which we love! We have been continuing to discuss the wellbeing indicators and talking about how we feel. We worked as a class to decide what would be our first topic. We chose The Geography of Scotland and then thought about questions we would like to investigate. Another fun week with lots more learning!
