Primary 3 have been busy rehearsing for our 40th Anniversary show. We’re singing songs from the present decade and our performance is really starting to come together. Everyone is working so hard in school and at home to learn the songs and the actions.
Our writing this week was centred around the story of Prince Cinders. We all retold the stories in 3 parts and focused on using good openers. Everyone used fantastic openers but also rememberd to use connectives and to spell common words correctly.
We thought about what it means to be a Rights Respecting School and looked at some of the rights of children. Look out for the articles which we’ve stuck all around our classroom walls. You can read more about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child here.
In numeracy we have been developing our subtraction skills this week.
Primary 2 have been demonstrating their understanding by using materials that subtract within 20 then using their understanding to complete group challenges. Primary 2 have worked hard on Sumdog this week and are proving to be very competitive!
Primary 3 have worked on recording subtraction sums within 100 and everyone worked really hard on their chimney sums.
In RE this week, there was a special visit from Fr Kenneth. Fr Kenneth as part of our P3 Sacramental journey towards making our First Reconciliation in March. The children discussed some of the important stories – ‘The Lost Coin’, ‘The Father & Two Sons’ and ‘The Lost Sheep’ which show God’s love for us. The boys and girls were able to confidently give examples of actions that show love and actions which don’t. Fr also told us that he is going on a well-deserved holiday to Jerusalem soon so we will look forward to hearing all about it when he comes back.
In Health, we thought that about how we can all be more active and created posters to show our learning.
Have a great weekend from Primary 2/3, Mrs Howley and Mrs Keegan
