Hello everyone
This week in our transport topic, the class wanted to learn about boats, in particular, speed boats! We looked at different videos and encyclopaedias where we discovered lots of different boats such as sail boats, kayaks and canoes!
It got us thinking about different things you might find on a boat…including the essentials like life jackets and life rings. We decided as a class to make our own class life jacket. For this, we needed to investigate what kind of materials would be good to help the life jacket float. We discovered that empty plastic water bottles were best for the job! Lyle worked out that a full water bottle would sink in water.
Below are some pictures of us investigating materials that float/don’t float and a little peek at our life jacket which is still in the process of being made.
Thanks to Jack for taking the photos!

Thanks for reading!

Hello,

Here is what P3HW have been up to recently!

In numeracy, we have been working very hard on our times tables. We have been using lots of resources like cubes to help us understand our times tables and we have been working hard to remember them. In Maths, we have been learning all about 3D shapes and linking this to what we know about 2D shapes, drawing around the faces of a 3D shape to see what 2D shape we get.

In Writing we have been focusing on the story of Hansel and Gretel. We have been making Missing person posters and Wanted posters, focusing on using lots of describing words to make our posters very clear! Our layout is also important and we have been working on keeping it neat.

In P.E. we are continuing with our Gymnastics, focusing on putting together a short sequence with all the balances and jumps we have learned so far. We are making sure we take our time and keep ourselves safe whilst keeping a smooth transition between each shape.

We have now finished our Scotland topic and evaluated our learning of that. It was great to see what new things we had learned, especially things we remembered from our assembly.

Thanks for reading! From Mrs Henderson and Mrs Wells.

This Friday, the 8th of February, Primary 4b would like to invite family and friends to come and see our class assembly.

The children have been working very hard to learn their lines, song and actions and are all excited to perform on Friday.

The assembly will be starting at 9am and afterwards, please feel free to stay on for a bit and enjoy a tea, coffee or juice and a little cake or biscuit!

We all look forward to seeing you on Friday.
