It has been such a busy week in P3. We worked hard, we learned through play and we had lots of fun. These are some of the things we enjoyed learning about this week:

Mylie and Kenzi enjoyed learning about the properties of materials. This week we focused on hardness.

Harper, Liam and Euan really liked creating pictures of bats using chalk and cotton wool.

Archie’s favourite this week were the various Halloween activities which helped us develop some very useful skills such as measuring, cutting, and folding.

Eddie likes practising skip counting. He feels he is getting very good at skip counting by 3.

Ruaridh enjoyed creating a spooky comic strip. Everyone’s ideas and pictures were so impressive.

Mathew was excited to start his new Pupils Leadership Group. Ask us which Global Goal we are learning about.

This week in P3 we have been learning a lot of new things. We received another letter from Katie Morag and Calum in our class really enjoyed learning about ways to reuse plastic bottle tops but his most favourite task this week was building Katie Morag’s island out of Lego.

Teriba likes science and she enjoyed learning about one of the properties of materials – flexibility.

We had a very good week at school and are looking forward to the weekend.

Please feel free to complete all the activities or just choose some of them. We hope you enjoy them!

This week in Primary One we have been learning to count to our special number – 26 and backwards. We also enjoyed singing a rap song that help us learn the doubles. This week we have been working on the number story of 5. We noticed the patterns in the sums and also that some of the sums have buddies – 3+2=5 and 2+3=5

We were busy practising our Tricky Words and reading words. We worked very hard to blend sounds together to help us read and spell. We used our blending skills in story writing when we described what we wear to a party.

The Friendly Dragon came to visit again and this time he left a mirror and an apple and asked us to help him save Snow White. We got to decorate mirrors and shiny apples. We also made shadow puppets to help us retell the story. We had lots of fun helping Snow White set the table for the seven dwarfs.

We continued learning about our senses and this week we focused on the sense of touch. We used our perceptions to describe what different objects feel like. We had so much fun using the ‘Feely Box’.

We have had another very busy week at school. These are some of the things that we enjoyed learning about and practising this week:

Erin and Jack really enjoyed learning about the 5 senses. This week we focused on the sense of hearing.

We have been working hard to learn to tell o’clock on both analogue and digital clock. Summer, Charlotte, Irvine and Robbie like playing time games to help them develop this skill.

Amina enjoyed counting to the number of the week and backwards. This week our special number is 21 and we did lots of activities to help us learn all about it.

Robbie and Sophie enjoyed learning about our new sound. We now know how to read and write the sound ‘ck’. We were very excited when we could find words with that sound in our reading books.

Daniel was pleased when we received another clue from the Friendly Dragon. This week we were helping Jack from ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Everybody wanted to help and we all made leaves to help build a beanstalk in our classroom. It looks lovely!

Adam, Eniileri, Logan and Zain enjoyed writing letters to the Friendly Dragon telling him what we have been up to this week. We can’t wait to see what our next challenge from the Dragon would be!
