Fun activities have featured in class this week! We have been devoting lots of time to our Burns’ Night show practices and the excitement has been building as the big day approaches. We have had 2 dress rehearsals this week, one for the 3 classes involved and today we performed for the whole school. No stage fright at all as we have become such confident performers! Here’s to next week, you will be in for a treat!
In Maths we have continued practising our counting beyond 100 up to 1000. We have played smartboard games and we had fun using an online flip-counter which helped us. Here is the link:

We also had fun dancing to a 5 times table song. We enjoyed the activity as it helped us to learn this table through singing and dancing. We all have our own personal tables challenge sheets now, and Mrs Howley will only give us a times tables sticker if we can recite our tables fluently as well as correctly!
In Spelling we were learning nk and ng ending words. Fun activities included spelling using whiteboards, making spelling word pyramids and bending pipecleaners into letters to spell our words, as well as take photos of them using our class iPad!
In writing we had an exciting, fun time when a huge bag of tartan materials, clan badges and a shoebox filled with tartan ties all arrived in class! This generous donation came from Alexander’s gran who has a kilt shop. Everybody in class got their own piece of tartan and we had to describe it, including colours, shapes, materials and designs. After writing down our ideas on whiteboards, we wrote on our writing templates and these will become a new wall display in class. It was great fun having real materials to touch and see, especially as they were then going to be used for the school show. How lucky are we?
We rounded off the week with our first Skills Academy classes. These included Spanish games and songs, First Aid, Hungry for Success, Animal Care, Team Building challenges, Messy Play and Creation Station. Hope you like a few of our photos from this week. Have a fun weekend,
Mrs Howley and P3
Fun is the word of the week!
I had fun looking at all the super pictures of your learning. Thank you for sharing these.
It sounds like you have really enjoyed preparing for your show and learning about Scotland.
I wonder what you new topic will be?!
