We have had a busy week this week in P2. We continued learning about money in our numeracy lessons where we created coin caterpillars and added the amounts to make a total. We also looked at making the same amount but using different coins. We finished looking at information reports in writing and we are moving on to looking at procedures from next week. We created castles from a range of materials and made sure it had some of the parts of a castle that we had been learning about. We are enjoying looking at the history of Scotland and look forward to learning more about the Loch Ness Monster next week.

P3 Learning
Lots of fun learning in Primary 3 this week. We have continued to learn to use arrays to help us divide. We were trying harder calculations and working out the family sums that go with each array.
we are learning to write an explanation. This week’s title was ‘How to look after a dog. We planned our writing on Wednesday and then used our plan to write our full explanation on Thursday. We are getting much better at writing interesting sentences and some of us have started learning to write in paragraphs.
In Maths we have continued to learn about fractions. This week we used 8 cubes in two colours to make creatures and then had to record it on squared paper and come up with a fraction sentence about it ie My creature is half green and half pink. We also learned about how many cubes one quarter and three quarters are.
In topic we were learning about Roman houses. We found out about how the rich and poor Romans lived. We learned that very rich Romans had massive villas with lots of rooms, they even had slaves to look after them. We found out that some villas had a room called a ‘vomitarium’? Ask your children what that was used for!!!!!!
