P4/3 and P4S Show Racism the Red Card

Today we wore red to think about Racism. We watched a film telling us about it. Here are some of our thoughts;

Don’t judge people on what they believe or what they look like. – Millie

Don’t judge someone because of their skin colour. – Samuel

I learned not to be racist to other people because it is bad if they are getting bullied due to their skin colour. – Scott

Don’t judge people’s looks. – Lily

Don’t judge people on the colour of their skin because they might be really nice. – Charlie

This week we have been introduced to lots of different strategies we can use to learn our times tables. These include Hit the Button, multiplication dominoes, dice, basketball and the game of pairs. Hopefully they will help us with our learning and speed of recall of our tables.

P4S Achievement

Well done for gaining all these trophies at BB Anchor Boys. What a great achievement.

This week in P3/2C

It has been a very busy few weeks in P3/2C. We have been learning lots about our new topic Food and Farming. We even paired up with a farm in Stafford shire and had a Skype chat with Katie the farmer where she answered our questions and showed us around the farm. She even sent us the winning rosettes that her Border Leicester sheep won.

It is also maths week this week and we have been taking part in many different activities to support our addition skills. What a fab and very busy week.

P3R Maths week

This week is Maths week and we have been looking at visualising numbers. This helps us get a picture in our mind of how big or small numbers are and how we can show this. We looked at how patterns can help us to count and work out amounts quickly.

We coloured in dot patterns to show numbers to 30.

We drew long lines with chalk in the playground and we had to visualise where the numbers would go on the line.

We cut out dots of coloured card and used them to show 2 digit and 3 digit numbers…and even 4 digit numbers!

Well Done P3R! Super number work.

Its great to be back!

Primary 7/6L Famous Americans

Primary 7/6L have been working on taking notes and using them to create a new piece of text in their own words. As part of our Interdisciplinary learning context on the wider world (USA) we have been learning about Key American figures including leaders, scientists and famous actors and singers. We then used our notes to create a biography using a piece of software called comic life.

Here are some of our results!
