Maths – Today we begin a new topic about capacity. Capacity is the amount that a container can hold. Please complete the  activities attached ‘Measuring capacity at home’.

Literacy – When do we use speech marks in writing? Speech marks are a piece of punctuation which go around the actual words that someone says. Have a look at the power point which explains this further and complete the activities on the slides. You will need your jotter or a piece of paper for this task.

French – Please play the bingo game with your family to revise the names of different food in French.  Also have a look at this video clip on youtube ‘Learn French with Alexa’ (Salty Food French).

RME – Complete the activity sheet ‘What makes me special’. You can draw or write in the bubbles or have a mixture of both.

Primary 3 – Watch the Space X launch!

This is very exciting Primary 3!

You may or may not be aware that NASA and Space X is launching a rocket at around 9.30pm tomorrow night (Wednesday 27/5/20) from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, America. The Space X rocket will travel 22 times the speed of sound at 17,000 mph!!!! (A car driving fast on a motorway travels at 70mph!) to reach the International Space Station which orbits the Earth.

The estimated time of launch is 9:33pm our time tomorrow, I am aware that may well be past your bed times! If you are planning on watching the launch, it can be watched on NASA’s website live:

https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive

If not, try to watch footage of the launch on Thursday at some point.

This does not happen very often.

Enjoy!

P3 Maths 26/05/20

Good morning Primary three!

I hope you are all well.

In today’s Maths work, we are looking at position again, specifically in turns and clockwise/anti-clockwise direction. We have worked on this before in class a little, but if you need a refresher, clockwise is the way the hands move around an analogue clock (12, 1, 2, 3 etc). Anti-clockwise is the opposite direction, as if you were moving backwards in time (12, 11, 10, 9 etc.).

When talking about turns, we can think of a clock face as well as using our previous fractions work. So when we say a quarter turn clockwise, we would move from the position facing 12, then move in a clockwise directions – 1, then 2, then 3. When we get to 3, it has been a quarter turn, quarter of the circle.

I hope you all understand what I am explaining to you and if you have any problems, let me know. Here is the sheet to complete today.
