Dear all
Over the last two short weeks we had fun! We won class of the week for our assembly last week!
In literacy we learned about collective nouns and singular and plural nouns. We wrote diary entries and did a reading comprehension about a book called sport for all.
In numeracy we did our maths assessments on fractions and numeracy. We did big math Beat That. We made times tables out of playdough, wrote them out on a whiteboard or asked a partner questions.
In Health and Wellbeing we learned about medical illnesses in the primary 3 classroom. In PE we did the long jump and high jump. We also did the hurdles, there were a lot of them!
In Learning across the curriculum we started a new topic. It is ancient Egypt. The river Nile is the 2nd longest river in the world. The Egyptians invented marshmallows!! We learned about Pharos and gods, cats and we learned that they were sacred. When Egyptians die they mummify them and take out parts of their body. Then they put them in bottles. They put their bodies in sarcophagus then put them into a tomb. If a man dies then they kill the wife too. In the sarcophagus they put a cat in as well!
We had NYCOS (National youth choir of Scotland) in to teach us rhythm.
With Mrs Begarnie, in science we learned about water and made a water cycle with plates. We also made a sketch of a mug with water in it. We made mini water cycles of our own. We made them out of plastic cups /birdseeds and soil. After that, we put a plastic bags over it to keep the same air in. In R.M.E we learned about the Muslims religion. It turns out they have a god called Allah he is the god of English.
Have a good weekend!
