Teacher Voice
This has been a very busy and exciting week for P3/4 as we prepare to welcome our families on board the RMS Titanic to showcase our learning!
Literacy
This week in writing we have been writing about a topic that is very relevant today. We wrote an explanation text highlighting ways to help prevent the spread of germs. This is a topic we are all very interested in and we think it’s very important to share ways to help stop the spread of germs.
We have been focusing on the reading skill ‘clarifying’ this week. This is a fantastic skill to have to help us read and understand unfamiliar words. We have been using context clues and picture clues to help us try to work out what these words might mean. We will be using dictionaries to check to see if we managed to work out the meaning using the clues.
Numeracy
We have been working on time this week. We have been revising how to tell the time on an analogue clock in 15 minute intervals and 5 minute intervals. We have also been converting analogue time into digital time.
We are enjoying using our numeracy blueprint boards to improve our numeracy skills during number talks.
Health and Wellbeing
The GIRFEC theme for the month of March is ‘RESPONSIBLE’. We have been discussing what being responsible means and sharing ways that we show we are responsible children.

Time is such an important skill for life to learn about. How are you enjoying your new numeracy blueprint boards? They look great, I had a wee look when they arrived.
