This week we have been doing a range of different math challenges. We have been focusing on the different areas of maths that we use in our day to day lives.

Storyboards:

The children have been very busy examining story structures. They have been investigating characters and settings. Today they had to work together in groups and create a storyboard on "Funny Bones".

Dr. Conor Doyle

Dr. Conor came to visit Primary 3 today. He told us all about his job as a G.P. He Knows a lot of things about how the body works and about diseases. We learnt a lot!!

Christmas Shoebox Appeal:

A big "Thank You" to the children who brought in gifts for our annual Christmas shoebox appeal.

Investigating the Senses:

As part of our topic we have been investigating the five senses. We carried out some experiments to test out some of the information we had discovered.

Hearing:

We made phones using old tins and string. We wanted to see if sound really travelled in waves. Everyone was amazed they could hear their teacher through the tin can phone.

Touching:

The children had to use only their sense of touch and adjectives to describe to class, what was in their hand. The class had to guess what the item was from the description.

Tasting:

The children tested out different kinds of food. They had to decide if they were sweet, salty, bitter or sour.

Problem Solving:

The children have been looking at solving word problems. They were solving the problems so quickly, that I set them a challenge!! They had to solve word problems within 50. I'm glad to say, challenge accepted and achieved!
