We have had a busy last couple of weeks in P3A!
In Numeracy and Mathematics we finished our work on division and we learned to find halves and quarters of shapes and numbers. We also learned how to find three quarters of a set. To help us with finding fractions of numbers, we used our division facts. For example, if we were finding one quarter of 32, then we divided 32 by 4, using our knowledge of the 4 times-table. Some of us were also learning to find thirds, fifths and tenths of a set and we also learned to find equivalent fractions. We have worked so hard with our Numeracy and Mathematics this year and we have all made good progress.
In Literacy, we looked at writing an ending for our imaginative stories. We watched a video about writing interesting endings and then we looked at using a happy ending, a cliff-hanger ending and a twist ending. On our notes page, we created three different endings for our own stories. On Tuesday this week, we used our notes pages and selected which ending we were going to pick for our stories; a happy ending, a cliff-hanger ending or a twist ending. We had to ensure that our endings made sense and that we brought our events to a conclusion.
In Art and Design, we explored Pop Art. We looked at the use of bright colours and repeated patterns and then we created our own images in a similar style. After discussing our highlights of Primary Three, we used the outline of an image to represent one of our highlights. Then we used bright colours and repeated patterns to add detail and effects to our images.
On Wednesday this week we had an Inflatable Fun Day! We played different fairground games, went on several bouncy castles and inflatables and had snacks and drinks. We really enjoyed our afternoon of fun in the sunshine!
On Thursday morning, we attended the end of term awards assembly. One of the awards presented at the assembly was the Phair Medal. This award is in recognition of our school’s first secretary, Mrs Phair. It is awarded for a hard-working pupil who displays an excellent attitude towards learning and is a positive role model. A huge well done to OH who was awarded the Phair Medal!
On Thursday afternoon this week we had a class party! Miss Harrison wanted to throw us a party to celebrate all of our hard work, learning and achievements this year. We had lots of party food, played party games and enjoyed spending time with our friends.
Thank you for reading all of our blog posts this year. We have loved sharing our learning. We hope that you have a healthy, happy and fun summer!
