This week in primary 3 we were very lucky to have our first outdoor learning lesson with Mrs McCool. These lessons will focus on numeracy and maths and will involve taking our learning outside into the playground and garden area. We all thoroughly enjoyed playing games and going on a shape hunt, we managed to find all 12 shapes! Please note that our outdoor learning takes place every Tuesday and children should come to school dressed appropriately for the weather.

In literacy we have been learning how to summarise a text. We discussed what is meant by the key points in a text and learned how to identify them. We understand that a summary involves only the key points of a text and should be said or written using our own words. As a class we have made an anchor chart to remind us of the strategies involved in making a summary.

In science this week we learned about food chains and the flow of energy. We learned what the words ‘consumer’ and ‘producer’ meant and enjoyed sorting animals and plants into these headings. We liked getting to make up our own food chains and recognise that each chain must begin with a producer.
