P3 Weekly Update

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!

Our focus for next week is to work on our manners and being a kind friend.

P3 Weekly Update

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.

Primary 1 Blog

Primary 1 have been learning about Autumn this week.  We talked about the different colours of the trees during this time,  then painted our own trees, using foil to create the leaves.  We learned about how hedgehogs go for a big long sleep in Autumn (hibernation) and we made our own hedgehogs using real Autumn leaves to create the spikes.

Primary 3/2

This week, Primary 3/2 took part in the Scottish Book Trust’s ‘Authors Live’ event, which featured author Rachel Bright.

We listened to one of her stories, ‘The Koala who Could’ and completed tasks linked to it. We tried to predict what Kevin the Koala was thinking at different points in the story and designed a new home for him. Have a look at some of our work below:

We then participated in the live event where Rachel Bright answered children’s questions, read us her new story ‘Gecko and the Echo’ and illustrator Jim Field taught us how to draw Goldie the Gecko. #effectivecontributors

Check in with us after the holidays to see what we have been learning. Have a good, well-deserved break!

Miss M & Primary 3/2 🙂
