Happy New Year everyone! It has been a busy first week back for Primary 3/2.

On Monday some of the boys worked together during their free play time to build this tower out of Kapla. It was so tall they had to enlist the help of Mrs O’Neill to help them put the last few pieces on the top.

In numeracy we have been putting the addition strategies we learned last term into good use by trying to solve some missing number addition problems. We have been using ten and twenty frames as well as number lines to help us count on to find the missing number.

Before we move on to subtraction next week we have been consolodating our number bonds to 10 and 20 in a variety of ways, including completing this number bonds to 20 matching task.

In literacy we have been busy practising our common words and have been posting lots of our work on to Seesaw . Please make sure to check in on that to see what else we have been up to. If anyone needs new sign in codes for seesaw please just let me know and I can sort them for you.

Thanks, Miss McGregor 🙂

A reminder that our PE days have changed for this term.

For this week they will be Wednesday and Friday. I will be keep you updated if this is to change again.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Walkingshaw

Hello everyone,

A reminder that class talks will take place on the day you have selected this week (Monday-Thursday). You must come prepared ensuring you have your personal project jotter with you, whatever you need for your class talk (eg props, powerpoint, pictures etc) and making  sure you have practised at least once to a member of your household – this helps to get rid of the nerves!

I am looking forward to listening to all of your talks.

Thanks,

Miss W

The week beginning Monday 18th December 2023 (the last week of term) we will be completing class talks. The children have been completing personal projects this term where they have explored a topic they are interested in.

They will be assessed on their talking and listening skills through a class talk. The children will be able to sign up for these on Monday 11th December 2023 in class.

The criteria has been posted on our Teams page for everyone to see.

Any questions please get in touch.

This week we created a piece of Christmas artwork to be displayed outside Miss Finlayson’s office.

Miss Walkingshaw’s challenged us to re-create the ‘Grinch Pinch’ from her favourite movie – The Grinch. We focused on texture, colour and detail when creating our pieces of artwork. We also ran a separate competition which was to design the best Grinch.

Today Primary 3/2 really enjoyed getting to tune into Author’s Live with Benji Davies. We got to watch and listen to him reading us his book ‘The Great Storm Whale’. Benji Davies also showed us how to draw some characters and scenes from his book. Here are some examples of our drawings.
