Can’t quite believe this is the last blog for Term 3, hard to believe where the time has gone! Here are some highlights of this week…
RE
The children used their knowledge and understanding of the Easter story to work collaboratively in small groups of 4. Working together and demonstrating good turn taking, listening and talking skills they sequenced the whole story with both pictures and sentences. They were then able to justify their ordering and continued to build on the reading skill of inference which we have been looking at recently. Well done!
Read, Write, Count ‘Future Me’ – P3 shared with each other what their dream job would be and discussed the different skills they would need. Their dreams are very varied and include…
Hairdresser, motorbike racer, policeman, pilot, vet, doctor, actress/fashion designer, drama teacher, primary school teacher, footballer, comedian, fisherman, artist, horse rider
Reach for the sky Primary 3!
Topic
Cameron and Bartosz liked designing their own Eqyptian coffin and using hieroglyphics to write their names on it.
Writing
This week we edited our Egyptian Adventures just like real authors.
Emily liked that she was able to improve some of her sentences all by herself. Teegan enjoyed changing some of her punctuation to add more interest when she read over her story again. Sophie R liked writing her story very neatly. We thought it would be a good idea to share them with some of the other classes when we return next term.
Information Handling – Robbie and Cameron liked looking at pictograms to find out information and reminding everyone of all the other data handling work we have done before. Primary 3 were showing how much they had remembered as it has been a while since we looked at this part of Maths.
Roots of Empathy
Primary 3 told each other why their parents gave them their names and why they are all special. It was sad to hear that we will only see baby Kelsey one more time so we are really looking forward to that.
Technology Task
Many thanks to those children who completed the homework and were able to talk about the vast amount of technology we use in our daily lives. Primary 3 found it interesting that we use technology for different reasons eg to cook, to heat our homes, to entertain us or to find out information.
Primary 3 have had a super term and we hope everyone has a well-deserved break!
