This week in primary 2/3 we were introduced to arrays to help us solve multiplication problems. We were learning to first describe and talk about an array and then got a chance to work with a partner to complete some array challenges both outside and inside in the classroom. We spoke about the importance of making sure that each column had the same number and that each row should have the same number. We learnt that this meant that they would be equal.
This week in primary 3 we have been continuing to learn about multiplication. We have been exploring different strategies to help us solve multiplication sums. This week we have been learning about arrays and feel confident in using these as a strategy for any multiplication sum. We enjoyed creating arrays using play-doh and whiteboards. We even took our learning outside and used natural materials to create arrays.
This week we were very excited when we came into class on Thursday morning to find there was a green screen attached to our large whiteboard. We curiously explored underneath thinking something was hidden but we later found out its purpose. During our reading lesson we used Ipads and the green screen to video record our connections. When we looked back at the recordings on the Ipad we were speaking against the back drop from our reading book. In writing we used a picture of the Isle of Struay on the Ipads and recorded ourselves in front of the green screen convincing people to come visit. This time when we looked back at our recording it was like we were in the Isle of Struay.
In topic we have been using national geographic map maker in our ‘families’ to create our own Island and label the human and physical features. We are really enjoying this and love using technology to help us with our learning!
Primary 4 enjoyed their World Book Day Activities. We started off with our breakfasr read. Throughout the day, we worked on different book related activities. These included reading with Primary 3 and reading with our parents who had come for the Big Read. We also did word searches, read our favourite books to each other and talked all day about books!
Primary 3 had a fantastic day yesterday celebrating World Book Day. We kicked off our day with a ‘Big Booky Breakfast’ where we enjoyed coming to school in our pyjamas, eating toast and sharing our favourite books. We then took part in Mrs Smart’s whole school book quiz in our houses, well done Young for coming first place!
We continued our day with various other activities to celebrate reading including paired reading with primary 4, designing new front covers for our favourite books, and making bookmarks.
We rounded off World Book day by sharing our learning in a whole school assembly this morning. It was great to see how other classes celebrated this exciting day.
