It has been a short but busy week this week in Primary 3!

We really enjoyed Writing a description of a Candy house this week. We had to use lots of adjectives to describe it.

We worked hard evaluating term 3 goals and setting ourselves new learning goals this week! We are going to work very hard to achieve success with our goals before we go into P4.

We had lots of fun doing art this week with Mrs Kerr. We had to draw round our hands and feet to create a picture of us falling. We had to think about what our facial expression would be!

In maths this week we continued to learn all about fractions. We are very confident finding a fraction of an amount and can use our knowledge of division to help us. We explored the outdoors and found ways to demonstrate our understanding of fractions.

Have a great weekend

P3 last week of Term 3

Wow! What a fantastico week P3 have had.

Firstly, Congratulations to our P3 children who made their First Reconciliation on Saturday. The children were a credit to St Ninian’s!

We have been working hard on multiplication and division this week. Mrs Wassell challenged us with multiplying a 2 digit number by 1 digit with carrying. This was a real challenge but we love a challenge!

We have been doing lots of Easter inspired activities this week. We used patterns and colour to create Easter art. We focused on the Easter story this week and had a fun quiz to test how well we listened.

We wrote fantastic Easter haiku poems in our writing.

Today was very exciting as Mrs Wassell told us that David Walliams liked our tweet about our class novel ‘Fing’! We are Twitter famous here in St Ninian’s.

The Easter Bunny came and left us a special treat today. Yum Yum.

Have a lovely holiday,

We cannot believe Term 3 is nearly over! Time flies when you are having fun!

It has been a very busy week for Primary week. Here are some of the highlights;

In Maths this week we have been learning about division with remainders. We have learned how to work out division calculations using the standard method. This has been a big challenge for us but in Primary 3 we love a challenge! Here is a video to help us.

On Monday the SPL cup came to St Ninians with Lomond the Lion during our ‘Supermovers’ assembly. We loved learning to count and dance with Lomond.

Check out Twitter to see some pictures!

We enjoyed playing football this week out in the playground for PE. We had a mini tournament allowing us to play different teams in our class. He have been developing our ball skills over the last few weeks and was great to see us apply these skills when playing a game.

We also got to take part in the Tennis festival at James Young on Thursday. It was a fantastic afternoon and we all enjoyed meeting boys and girls from different schools. We got to play some games using tennis rackets and balls to help develop our skills. We had a ball!

In writing this week we continued to develop our skills for writing a recount. We read the true story of Grace Darling and wrote a recount of the story. We know that a recount should have an orientation, sequence of events and a personal comment.

Tomorrow some of the children in Primary 3 will make the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They have been preparing very hard for this special day. Please keep all of the children in your thoughts and prayers as they embark on this journey.

Have a great weekend

Primary 3 have had a fantastic week filled with lots of learning and fun. Here are some of our highlights

This week in numeracy we have been developing our knowledge of the 3 and 4 times table. We love playing games to help us learn the times tables. Some of our favourite games are Buzz and Multiplication bumps. We have been learning about arrays to help us with multiplication. We used our knowledge of arrays to create array art.

In maths we been learning how to convert analogue time into digital time.

We have been using a new writing scheme to help us to write a recount. This week we wrote our own recount about our morning routine. We have been learning about the structure of a recount and some time and sequence words to help us write our morning routine in order. (e.g. first, next, then, soon afterwards and finally.)

We enjoy learning about new spelling patterns in fun and creative ways. One of our favourites is tennis spelling.

We have been developing our reading skills and our understanding of texts by answering literal, inferential and evaluative questions about our reading books. We have also been enjoying reading for pleasure with our new reading books from the library and the books Adam and Esmee chose from Waterstones last week. As a class we have chosen to read David Walliams new book ‘Fing’. We think it is fantastic.

Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning all about the characteristics of living things. This week we explored our outdoor area to find as many living things as possible. We found some really interesting living things like centipedes, woodlouse, caterpillars, stick insects, beetles, daffodils and lavender. We couldn’t believe how many living things are all around us.

On Tuesday we really enjoyed welcoming our parents to our class for ‘Stay, Play and Be Well’. It was a lovely afternoon sharing lots of our learning with our parents. We did some role on the wall to explore some body sensations and behaviours, we designed a boat for skipper to help us on our river of life, we had discussions about the challenges that we have faced and might face when on our river of life, we wrote letters to Skipper to ask him some questions about how he manages his emotions during difficult times and we did some story massage with ‘The Gruffalo’.

This week we had a lovely surprise. We have a brand new playroom to help us develop our creativity and imagination. There are lots of different activities and resources for us to play with.

Ask us all about it at home!

Have a lovely weekend
