Primary 3 Learning

Hi everyone!

Here are some of our highlights from Primary 3 this week which the children wished to share.

Exciting news! Primary 3 have decided that they are going to become authors of their own books. They are going to be writing their own imaginative stories through a writing process, just like real authors! We have started our setting this week and are very excited about it! We plan to produce our books, complete with front cover and blurb etc. Watch this space!

FIREWORKS SENSORY ACTIVITIES

In preparation for our Writing lesson where we were describing a Fireworks Setting, we had some SENSORY experiences.

James – we were smelling hot chocolate, tomato ketchup and fried onions. This helped us imagine we were actually at a Fireworks display.

Kerr – we had a picture of a bonfire on the smartboard. It made us think we were at a bonfire because it looked realistic. It made popping noises.

Sahara – we opened our classroom door so the wind could come in and make us feel cold.

Klaudia – we had to put our jackets on, just as if it was a real bonfire night.

Kaitlyn – Mrs Scott splashed a little water on us at the end so we could pretend it was raining.

FIREWORKS ART

Dawid – We used chalk pastels to help us draw fireworks. It was a fun task to do. It helped me learn about the lines and shapes of fireworks.

Adam – Mrs Scott made a skyline on our classroom wall and our fireworks look amazing above it!

Lucy – I noticed that part of the skyline looks like the Macarthur Glen glass dome and the clock tower on top of Morrisons.

Stefan – I liked doing my fireworks art. It was really fun.

POPPIES

Kerr – I enjoyed making my poppy and I learned that people died during the war.

AUTHOR JOTTERS

Klaudia – I enjoy writing in my author jotters because it is up to me  what I want to write about. I have been writing about the monster, the talking pen. Little Lucy and I am thnking of more characters.

Jarred – I am writing a story of my own called Super Poop. It is a detective story and a mystery. There is pizza and coca cola in it too and someone saves the day.

Amber – I wrote a story and it was called Boo the Hamster and his house.

Leigha – I’m writing a story called The Robbers and it is finished now.

Kaitlyn – My story is called Floofie Bunny and it’s fun.

Kayla – During Smartstart, I was showing my friends how to make 3d triangles using our collage materials.

Esmee – I am writing a story and it is funny. It is called My Cat Milo.
