P3a Numeracy

Continuing on from last week’s learning on place value we have been working on Hundred’s, Ten’s & One’s.  We had to find our partners by working out how many HTO’s a number had, then we had to get into order smallest to biggest.  We had checkers to make sure we had completed it correctly.  Then we got into our groups and worked on different activities.  One group work on Seesaw and had to put numbers in order and say which were greater than & less than while another worked with the concrete material.  Another group were given a 3 digit challenge to work out all the numbers that could be made from the 3 digits.  They then had to work out which were odd and which were even and then put them in order.  They were then challenged further by using 4 digits.

Primary 3a Number Talks

This week we have been learning about the value of numbers. We used the 100 square on the smart board and had to click on the correct number. If the number had 5 tens and 3 ones we would click on 53. Once we were confident in this we moved onto numbers to 1000. For this we used the place value flip chart. If the number had 3 hundreds, 4 tens and 3 ones we had to make the chart read 348. We are going to keep working on this next week.

P3a Handwriting

Every Friday we work on our handwriting. We practice our letters lots of different ways – white boards, smart board, jotters and wipe clean boards.  We work on our letter formation so that we do it correctly in all of our work. Later on this year we will start to join letters so really need to be writing them the correct way.

P3a Book Week

During book week we took part in lots of great activities. We received visits from several secret readers. We went to the library and got our Read, Write, Count bags and a book from the Queen.  We also listened to stories and read with each other.  We took part in the Book Week bookmark competition by drawing our favourite animals character from a book. It has been a brilliant week.

P3 Literacy

Something strange was in our mystery box this morning. A few of us tried to guess. Some said a number 2, which was quite a good guess. Others couldn’t find anything. After lots of discussion round what sort of shape it was, Harris worked out it was a question mark. We looked at the shape then tried to draw a few ourselves. We were allowed to draw it on our desks!! Then we thought about words that could be used at the start of a question. We wrote them on our desks too and then discussed them as a class. Next we had to think of questions we could ask, using these words.

P3a Numeracy

Each week we take part in lots of different Numeracy activities to help us develop our skills. We share our strategies and help each other try them out. This week in our Number of the Day task we had to work out sums with the answer 39. We came up with addition subtraction, multiplication and someone even came up with a sum involving division.
