P3A Learning

This week we’re learning to tell the time. Some of us used Play Dough to create the hands of a clock to tell o’clock & half past times. Others tested each other telling quarter past & quarter to using the clock faces. Some were working on changing between analogue & digital times. We also used the laptops to test our knowledge.

This week we started learning to use questions marks. First we practiced writing them, then we had to think about question words. Next we looked at a picture and worked with a random partner to come up and write down questions about it. Lastly we became Question Mark Detectives and hunted for question marks in our reading books.

In Art we thought about the colours of leaves we see just now and then created Autumn pictures.

P3A Learning

We have had another busy week with our learning. We are continuing to work with giving exact amounts of money and giving change. We also keep extending our knowledge of times tables. As we have been learning about Farming, we decided to write a description of a tractor. We used our plan to inform our writing. In Art we used different media to create fluffy sheep.


Maths Week in P3A

We were very lucky during Maths Week to have two visitors come in to tell us how they use Maths in their daily work. Mr Malik is a software engineer and uses Maths all the time when he is writing code. He even created a game to show us how the software worked. Then we heard from Callum who runs a company involving small animals. He uses Maths each day for things like measuring how much food or water to give the animals and record the temperatures in the cages.

In class we worked on our times tables with a random partner, using arrays to help us.

We were also very lucky to go on a trip to Almond Valley Heritage Centre to take part in a Maths Trail. Here we found out how the farm used Maths in the past. We met the Miller who used to water wheel to power the wheel to grind the flour. Then the baker had to weigh the flour to make bread. We walked round the farm counting lots of different animals. This helped us gain knowledge for our Topic on Food and Farming.

P3A Learning

We were learning to order number to 100. We were given a card with a number on it and had to get ourselves in the correct order. Then we had to make our number using tools in the classroom. We came up with lots of different ways. Some of us laid counters out in twos and explained our strategy to everyone else. Jude had the number 22 so had two lines of 11. Eli had 15 so had 2 groups of 7 plus a single counter. Next everybody in the class tried their strategy.

We are continuing to learn to write a description. We watched a video about giraffes, then discussed it and thought of adjectives to help describe a giraffe. We used a planning sheet to write done the information. The next day we used the planning sheet to write our description.

Primary 3A Learning

We have been learning about nouns and adjectives. We worked together to come up with adjectives for the noun ‘apple’. Then we split into random partnerships and worked together to find adjectives for the nouns ‘car & dog’. We thought about our senses to help us come up with words. What did a car look like, sound like, smell like and if we were to touch it, what would it feel like?

Then we started learning about writing a description. To do this we read a passage and had to find all the nouns in it. We learned that a noun is a naming word for a people, place or thing. Next we used the same passage and highlighted all the adjectives. We thought of other describing words that could be used.

This week in P2

This week in P2 we have been busy creating for our East Calder project all about East Calder Main Street. We have been creating some of the businesses and houses you might see on the street. We have created leaflets all about what you might see on East Calder Main Street.  We were lucky to have Dog’s Trust in to speak with us about how to take care of dogs and keep them happy as well this week. It was great! 

This week in P2

We have been working hard on tally charts and data handling in maths and we have begun to look at creating our own bar charts. We have enjoyed looking at procedure texts in writing and creating our own. We have been working hard practising for our Easter assembly this week as well. It was also our last session with our music project leader, Dave, we were very sad to see him go but we loved having him at ECPS for our music sessions this term.

This week in P2

This week in P2 we took part in science week and did the curly wurly challenge. We had to work in teams to try and stretch the curly wurly as much as possible and then measure it to gather our results. We have been looking at tally marks and graphs in numeracy this week and created our own data. It has been great to see that during the pupils play they have been working on numeracy and maths skills as well. Lots of exciting things happening in P2 before the Easter holidays.
