The children have returned ready to learn and within this first week, I have observed lots of them supporting and helping each other, which is so good to see. They are all becoming successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors 🙂
I always try to make our learning fun so that the children enjoy what they are doing. This week, we tried spelling our tricky words with other resources. Spelling doesn’t always have to be written …Have a look at what we have been up to…
Hope everyone has a nice weekend and I know next week will be a little different with the two days of industrial action. But I have full confidence in Primary 3 and they will be putting all their efforts in to work and learn well on the days they are in school 🙂
Yesterday was Safer Internet Day and the pupil participation group Internet Empire explored their knowledge of internet safety. All pupils should have knowledge of how to stay safe online for example, what to do if they encounter inappropriate content, how to keep personal details safe, using passwords to protect their information and cyberbullying.
In the session we used a special interactive questionnaire called ‘Mentimeter’ – Pupils were in groups of 3 and shared an iPad to answer the questions below which created this document. This will also be shared with staff to improve our quality learning and teaching
We asked what activities they would set to practise or show their knowledge of internet safety and this is what they came up with! Miss Bruner and Miss Copeland would be delighted to hear if anyone completes one of the tasks below to share their knowledge of safe internet use.
Games to learn more about online safety
Interland – Children aged 8 – 12. A new game made by Google – covering cyberbullying, phishing, data protection through mini-games and quizzes. Very cool!
Jessie and Friends – A favourite of Miss Copeland, this includes easy to watch videos and songs, perfect for ages 4 to 7.
Band Runner – Also by Think U Know, this is designed for children aged 8-10.
Cloud Quest – An interactive adventure website with videos and activities for children under 10 (American website)
Primary 3 have had a fantastic week of learning and I am so proud of them all!
We have been looking at the different rules to make plural words and so far, everyone has a good understanding of this. I am hoping the children can up level their sentences by adding in more details and remember all these little things we are learning in Literacy.
In Maths and Numeracy, the children have been making use of concrete resources and games to make our learning fun. We are trying to encourage the children to recognise numbers all around them and that this can be made fun and interactive too. A new Mental Agility worksheet has been put into their homework jotter and you can take time to work through these.
Well done to all the Primary 3s! They really have worked so hard this week and deserve a little treat this weekend :p
