P3 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 3 we have been busy working hard in all areas of our learning. We are excited for you to see our ‘Wonderful Week of Work’ jotters and bring them home and show off our work form this week.

We have created our craft for the Christmas Fayre on Friday 2nd December 2022.

We developed our knowledge of what makes a good friend and discussed the qualities that we look for in a good friend. We are looking for these everyday in the classroom, in the playground and at home and to show these qualities to others.

James from Broxburn United FC joined us this week for our 4th week of Fun Fitness Friday. We were learning what it means to be ‘physically active’.

This week we have celebrated World Book Day and Anti-Bullying in school. We have taken part in a lot of different activities to share our passion for reading and improving our understanding of what bullying is.

In Numeracy, we have been focusing on skip counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and began counting in 4s yesterday. We used concrete materials and a 100 square help our learning.

We worked collectively to create our very own Rotten Romans timeline for our class display. We now have an understanding of what a timeline is for and used our knowledge of ordering numbers to help with this task.

Primary 3 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 3 we have been very busy.

Numeracy – We have been continuing to develop our knowledge of how to skip count in 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 10s up to and beyond 100. We have been looking for patterns when skip counting, using a 100 square to help us.

Literacy – Miss Walkingshaw modelled a lesson on how to create a narrative piece of writing. The story was called ‘The day where everything was backwards’. We loved helping her create this piece of writing and can’t wait to write our very own narrative stories next week.

Music – This week we have been practising our songs for the Nativity and learning about ‘pulse’ using our new resource – Charanga. We loved finding the pulse in different pieces of music and completed the GOLD level!

This week we have been developing our knowledge of how to use a 100 square. We wanted to learn how to use this properly as we realised that this would help us with a lot of our learning.

We also completed our second week of Fun Fitness Friday with James from Broxburn Athletic FC where we built on our knowledge of positive mental health and found out more about the importance of water.

This week we have been working on a new Literacy routine. This is where we have explored more active spelling tasks, reading with our friends, using our digital class library and many more literacy focused activities.

We created an Autumn wreath which we were able to put on show around our houses. We tried to make these from natural materials, however it didn’t quite work out that way!

This week in Primary 3 we have complete an expressive arts activity where we recreated Edinburgh Castle as part of our class topic. We completed a drawing activity where we drew the castle step by step. We then painted the scenery in the background using a picture from the smartboard for guidance.

We continued working on our knowledge of time – using o’clock, half past and quarter past. We worked in pairs to draw clocks to represent different times given from our partner.

This week have enjoyed learning more about our topic – ‘On Our Doorstep’. We continued our learning from last week where we learned about the different types of house within the local area. We used our plans to help us create a model house. We explored what the term ‘renewable energy’ was and what we could add to our houses to help them become more eco-friendly.

We added wind turbines, solar panels and a well.

This week we have been focusing on learning our common words. We have been completing active learning tasks to help us with doing this.

In numeracy, we have been focusing on our knowledge of number bonds using Numicon and number lines. In maths, we have been recapping our knowledge of time where we focused on telling o’clock and half past on an analogue clock. We used many interactive resources to help us with this.

Well done to our certificate winners this week – Hanna and Aiden.

Well done to our achievement assembly winners this week also – Tyler and Hanna.
