This week in P3B!

It’s so good to be back P3B! You are all enjoying being in  school  again and playing with your friends.

This week we have been working hard on our 3 and 4 times tables. We love to use  animated clips or videos to help us skip count in 3s and 4s. We are learning how to work out multiplication word problems and we wrote the 4 times table in the playground using chalk.

We  have used word boost this week to help us  learn new words and understand what they mean.

We started our Ancient Egypt topic and we wrote down what we know already. Most of us know they have pyramids there but we are not sure why. As a class we came up with three big questions that we want to find the answers to.

In Science we have been experimenting with magnets which was good fun!

On Thursday we had a great World Book Day. We looked at the books in our school library and we are trying to find out what the best book in the world is. We also found out about working in publishing. The jobs of editor and illustrator sound really interesting.

We love lots of different books. What is your favourite book?

Thank you P3!

As we get ready to return to school on Monday we would like to say a  huge thank you to you all for your hard work over the last few weeks. We have been so  impressed by how well you have engaged with remote learning and with the standard of your work. Lots of you have tried hard to extend your learning at  home.

Also a massive thank you to all the mums and dads .. and some brothers and sisters, that have helped and supported you to do your best. It has not been easy at times.

We have managed to stay on track with our learning and we have covered work that we would be doing if we were in school. We hope you are feeling ready to continue in school and we know you will be excited to see your friends. It will all look and feel the same as before. There are now hand sanitiser dispensers on the wall at the door so this makes it very easy to remember to clean  our hands. We will let you know next week which days we will be having PE this term.

Looking forward to seeing all of your smiley faces on Monday!

Have a lovely weekend!

From your very proud… and excited teachers!

Book Week Scotland P3B

It’s Book Week!

On Monday everyone was excited to see all the super things in our Read, Write, Count bags.

We have looked at the books called ‘Look Up!’ and  ‘Wow! Animals’ and we discussed fiction and non- fiction books.

We really loved the tape measure and used it to measure things in the class and out in the playground at playtime. This will help us to learn how to estimate accurately.

We played with card sets  and made up some games of our own.

There are lots of great ideas and activities in the Parent Club booklet to help children extend their learning. You may also like to look at the Scottish Book Trust website.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Home Learning 2 updated

 

We know lots of you have been improving your maths skills on Sumdog and we have set a challenge for each class for the next week.

If you like books and reading try –

Home

It’s great to have someone read a story aloud to you ..(we are missing that with you )……and you can read along with the subtitles. Try sharing a story with your family.

Other things that are help just now are making  sure you are managing to get outside for a bit and keep doing some exercise, and offer to help around the house…that will bring a smile to someone’s face!

Please keep checking the blog for information and we will post again next week.

Take care and stay safe.

Miss Cameron and Mrs Robertson

 

 

Food Tasting P3R

In Science we are learning about our 5 senses.

Today we were finding out about the sense of taste.

Mrs Beattie had different foods for us to taste and we had to record whether they were sweet, sour, bitter or salty.

Lots of us liked the salty crisps …but the lemon was not the class favourite!
