Good afternoon! Primary 3 have had a wonderful week and been working very hard.
We were so excited to find out from our fantastic UN Ambassadors that St Ninian’s have received Level 2 of the Rights Respecting School award. This is a huge achievement and we are delighted.
During Assembly yesterday, we had special visitors because Fr Kenneth and Fr Matthew came to see us. We played a game where we got to learn some words from Fr Matthew’s language.
As part of our IDL work, we have been learning about nocturnal animals who come out at night and diurnal animals come out during the daytime. We had to sort them into categories to show our understanding (Maeve, Matthew and Harry).
In Number, we have been rounding numbers to the nearest 10. If the units number ends in a 1,2,3,4 you have to round it down but if the units number ends in a 5,6,7,8,9 you round it up (Angelina, Vanessa, Annayah). We have also been learning expanded form. This is where we have been able to tell how many hundreds, how many tens and how many units are in all of the numbers up to 1000.
We loved having the chance to write our own special letters to Plop! Plop is the baby barn owl who is afraid of the dark – we loved this story (Lennon). We had to tell Plop what we thought of the dark. Here are some examples –
‘I think dark is scary sometimes. At night I can hear scary sounds when my window is opened.’ (Lilly is linking her writing to her own experiences)
‘I think dark is fascinating because nocturnal animals come out to play and you can hear animals’ (Maeve has linked her learning!).
‘I think dark is extraordinary!’ (Fabulous vocabulary Chloe!)
In PE, we have been focusing on co-operation (Oma). Co-operation means you are working together (Ryan). Co-operation means teamwork (Lennon). Co-operation means working together and helping others (Annayah).
Have a good weekend
Mrs W
