Visit My Class

We recently held a Visit My Class event, giving families the opportunity to meet their child’s new teacher and to find out about learning and expectations in their class. Thank you to everyone who came along.

If you were unable to attend, you will find the presentations at the links below:

Our House and Vice Captains gathered feedback from families who attended the event by using a form on Glow.

Some of the feedback included: 

What did you find out about your child’s learning that you did not already know?

  • Online ordering school dinners, library days
  • Personal reading
  • What they’re learning over the year.
  • The amount of natural resources etc. in the room
  • Change from traffic lights to corrective steps
  • Changes to Golden Time
  • What they are learning currently and the reasons for this
  • Liked hearing about the daily routine
  • Good overview of literacy and numeracy and how we can help. We’re all excited for the topic work.
  • What is expected of my children throughout the year. Also what topics can aid with their learning from home

What other information would you like us to provide during Visit My Class sessions?

  • How to use Sum dog

In what other ways can we support you to support your child at home?

  • Provide details of learning systems. For example, an empty number  line in Maths
  • All good
  • Continue to keep us updated
  • Indication of where may be struggling in anyway to help support
  • The blog updates are helpful
  • Small short meetings if needed
  • I am happy with the level of support that the school provides
  • More information about Maths please

Primary 3 – Maths Week Scotland

What were we learning?

To tell the time using ‘quarter to’ and ‘quarter past’.

How would we know if we were successful?

  • We would be able to show times on both analogue and digital clocks.
  • We would link ‘quarter past’ to ’15 minutes past’.
  • We would link ‘quarter to’ to ’45 minutes past’.

What did we do?

  • We used clock fractions to see that a quarter of an hour was 15 minutes long and that three quarters of an hour was 45 minutes long.
  • We used class clocks to show where the minute and hour hands should be placed.
  • We wrote times using ‘minutes past’.
  • We did a matching challenge with mixed times to see if we could recognise ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ times.
  • We completed challenges on Sumdog.

Miss McLaughlin will soon send home a record of what we have been learning. We can use this to work at home on something that we find tricky or as a checklist to show if we demonstrate our learning at home.

We are also beginning to use our knowledge of time and number to build up a timeline of important Victorian dates.

Until next time…
Primary 3 & Miss M 🙂

Library Club – 06/09/18

Last week at Library Club we were exploring Islands. We thought about what we would take with us to our desert island and had lots of great ideas from compasses and maps to books and food.

Moira read Katie Morag and the New Pier by Mairi Hedderwick. We learnt that Katie Morag lives of the Isle of Struay.

Have a look at the rafts we made, decorated and named, ready to sail off on our own island adventures.
