Calling all Titanic Passengers in P3 P4 and P5….
On Monday 30th January we are going to be doing lots of sinking and floating experiments so make sure you have your paint shirts with you to keep you dry!
You also need to start collecting recycled items from home to help you with your model boats( and furniture for your Titanic Shoebox Cabins.)….get collecting this weekend and bring in things to make your amazing model boats on Monday!
Space Time…
Today we developed our knowledge of the stars. We know that the stars create patterns called Constellations.
Look up into the night sky …..can you spot The Big Dipper?
How many stars join together to form The Little Dipper?
Titanic Shoebox Homework Challenge for P3 P4 and P5!
Today every child in P3 P4 and P5 were given an empty shoebox to design a passenger cabin from the Titanic. They can use just about anything from recycled items /lego/bricks/items from around the house to recreate what their passenger cabin would have looked like in 1912. We are doing lots of research in school to help with this and the completed boxes are due back in school on Monday 20th February which gives the pupils lots of time to collect items they want to include inside their box-good luck and have fun!
Construction on Titanic begins today….
In our passenger groups we each had a task to build a separate part of the Titanic ship ready for launch this afternoon. We found out many facts about the various levels on board it was great to see everyone cooperating so well in P3/4 and P4/5 today-well done!
Keeping fit and problem solving on our mile today…
While keeping fit and active money rolled out of a pocket and under the school fence !Luckily the girls worked together and they came up with a plan to solve their problem !
Titanic Mission 1 MONDAY!
P3/4 and P4/5 will need an old shirt or t-shirt for Monday’s Titanic Mission 1 as we construct our huge ship in the corridor between our classrooms! Captain Jamie and his crew will be keeping an eye on the design.
This week in P3/4
This week we started working on our Multiplication. P3 started on the 2 times table and multiplying 2 digit numbers by 2. P4 revised the 2, 5 and ten tables and worked on the 3 times table and multiplying 2 digit numbers by 2, 3 and 5. This found this a bit tricky!
In literacy we started our reading groups again and working on becoming fluent. We worked on our grammar skills, remembering our nouns, verbs and adjectives and did a spelling test of our common words. Within our writing we also wrote about our Famous Scot, by using the information we had gathered for our Power Points. Then in topic we continued to develop our presentations. We found out that collecting notes and using them was a bit tricky too!
There was fun with Google Glasses on Monday and in PE we continued our Yoga, although we have decided to use Cosmic Kids Yoga site as this looks really good (see link below).
Olivia – I enjoyed doing our Power Points.
Evie – I enjoyed the Yoga.
Ellsie – I enjoyed the times tables.
Kyran – I enjoyed topic.
For homework we are learning the Scottish Poem, Street Talk by J.K. Annand, we will be reciting these in class on the 21st January.
Street Talk
There was a rammie in the street,
A stishie and stramash.
The crabbit wifie up the stair
Pit up her winda sash.
“Nou what’s adae?” the wifie cried,
“Juist tell me what’s adae.”
A day is twinty-fower hours, missis,
Nou gie us peace to play.
“Juist tell me what’s ado,” she cried,
“And nane o yer gab,” cried she.
D’ye no ken a doo’s a pigeon, missis?
Nou haud your wheesht a wee.
“I want to ken what’s up,” she cried,
“And nae mair o yer cheek, ye loun.”
It’s only yer winda that’s up, missis.
For guidsake pit it doun.

Titanic -the unsinkable ship, explore the Belfast Museum by clicking on the pupil link down the right hand side of this BLOG! If you have any books posters or items at home which could add to our learning please bring them in next week!
P3/4 this week.
This week has, once again, been extremely short! However we still had time to continue with our topic and find more information about some famous Scots. We are going to use these to build up our Power Point presentations.
We started thinking more about what we needed to learn and wrote our personal targets for our writing and our maths. Then we used our writing targets to write our New Year’s Resolutions! Most of us wrote about how we needed to be more active and get outside for some fresh air. In PE we continued to think about being active and how this helps our general fitness. We exercised our hearts and did some basic yoga moves to exercise our muscles!
