We have some chicks at St Martins!

On Monday Dave came into St Martins with real eggs! They had to stay in the red incubator which is 37.7 degrees. This is how warm it would be under their Mum’s tummy.

 

Tuesday some cracks started to come on the eggs. Three eggs had cracks.

 

Wednesday the chicks were nearly ready to come out.

 

Thursday morning when Primary 3 came in 5 chicks were hatched. As the day went on 1 more hatched that Primary 2 saw, and then one hatched during break time. All the children at St Martins got to then see the chicks.

 

Friday all classes are getting to name their chicks. More to come…

 

The Great Week in Primary 3

We started off our week by coming to school on Tuesday after a long Easter break.

 

Some of the things we have been learning about:

  • We have started to learn about life cycles. First we learnt about plants and seeds by planting some beans in a green house. Then we learnt about the life cycles of chickens ready for Monday when our chicks come into school.
  • In writing we have been learning how to write an Information Text. We have been writing about Orangutans.
  • For Maths we have been learning how to collect data. We have used tally marks to gather lots of information and data.

This is some things that we have done for our great week in Primary 3!

Our Amazing Second Eco Flag

We have been working really hard to win our Eco Green Flag. We have put in a lot of effort. Some things that we have done is our eco litter pick rota, always picking up rubbish and putting it in the bin, our 3G litter picks, building habitats for animals in our eco garden, tidying the eco garden and the John Muir garden and design competitions for the garden. Through all this hard work we have earned our second green flag!

A huge congratulations to our Eco Committee!

Our Week in Primary 3

We had a very quick and busy week this week!

For Reading we have been looking at fiction and non-fiction texts and comparing the two. We have also been reading out RWI books and trying our hardest to use expression when reading.

In Maths we have started to learn our two times tables. We have been listening to a really fun song to help us remember them.

Big Writing this week has seen us exploring the X Watches some more and their magic powers.

In Topic our groups finished making the Earth, Moon and Sun. This is so we are ready for next week we are going to practice explaining how they move around one another.

In Religion we have been working really hard on our Reconciliation books. We were looking at the story of the Lost Coin.

We are really excited about next week for our open morning and we can’t believe that it is the last week until the February break. Where does all the time go?!

Our Amazing Dynamic Earth Trip

Our trip began by getting on the bus. We caught the bus number 113 and we sat at the very back of the Double Decker bus. It took us 40 minutes to get to the bus stop and then we walked for 10 minutes to get to Dynamic Earth.

 

When we got into Dynamic Earth we moved into our groups and went into the Time Machine. We went back 3.5 billion years ago. We then got out the time machine and looked at some rocks and the first animals that had skeletons.

 

After that we moved into the ice room. There was a HUGE iceberg in the middle of the room. It was freezing to touch!

 

We then went into one of our favourite rooms which were a 3D ride. Some animals popped out, like a scorpion, and a black rhino. It was so scary!

After lunch we went to a workshop about space. Some things that we did was learning about space food (they ate baked beans, wraps, ice creams, pasta), feeling moon rocks and how to pack a rocket.

 

We then finished the day by seeing a 3D movie about asteroids.

 

We had an amazing time at Dynamic Earth!
