Maths

P3 have been exploring how you could measure the area of a space. We have been using non-standard units like 2D shapes, house points, cubes and pebbles. We compared different areas.

P3 are nearly ready to join Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their wands are ready and they are awaiting more owl post! Look at the fantastic wands made as a homework challenge: 

P3 had a lovely time this afternoon in our school garden with Sarah-Jayne.  We learned about 8 vegetable families. Each family’s vegetables grow and produce seeds in different ways from other families.

We prepared the planting beds, planted seeds and made sure they had water. We used our writing skills to label what we planted.

Hopefully we can go out again soon to check on things!

There has been lots of new learning in P3 this week.

An important and exciting letter arrived last week asking us to go off to learn magical ways at Hogwarts.  It arrived by Owl Post from our very own Max! We all have a special challenge to design our own wands for next Monday so we are ready.

In Maths, we have been focusing on addition and subtraction.  Some groups have been adding multiples of 10 to 2 digit numbers.  Other groups have been learning written strategies for addition and subtraction.

I wonder if any children in P3 could explain their maths learning to someone at home?

 

Take a look at some of our newspaper reports about the film Madagascar.  Everyone enjoyed writing catchy headlines and tried hard to answer the when, where, who and what questions.

Last week lots of us bet our best score in Big Maths Beat That!

We have been learning lots in our new topic: Islands.

In the Isle of Coll there can be lots of rain. (Maja)

In Madagascar it can be very hot and rainy. (Ellie G)

Madagascar is quite different from other countries as their winter is hotter than their summer.   The months are different to ours. (Aaron)

There are no trees on Coll as it’s too windy.  (Mathew)

I have enjoyed playing games to learn number bonds. (Lilly)

I have enjoyed watching the Katie Morag programme and writing my Katie Morag story (Ellie Grieve)

I have enjoyed playing the number bond to 100 games  (Darcy)

I enjoyed our silly daily mile as we were walking around the lamp posts. (Tatiana)

Calum, Jake, Ellie G, Maja and Rosa have shared their learning with Miss Morrison this week.

Well done everyone in P3!
