ST​RATHBLANE PRIMARY SCHOOL AND NURSERY

Learning in Term 3

This term (until the February half-term break), our main focus is Enterprise. 
We will do this mainly through panto, making tickets, programs, recording outgoings and sales, profits etc.  We will also organise a 'Scottish celebration' with our P1 buddies and invite parents to this.  Just before the break, we will be begin setting up businesses to 'Grow £5.'
After the February break, our topic will be 'Asia.'  We will learn about the geography, traditions and customs and culture of the continent focussing on countries including Japan, China and India.

In numeracy, we will finish off work on decimals then progress to linking to fractions.  We will also further our learning in finding fractions of sets, simplifying fractions, finding equivalence, adding and subtracting fractions and various other fraction work.  We will then link fractions to percentges and find percentages of an amount.  We will also learn about shape and their properties.

In literacy (until February break), we will be focussing on personal texts and will write about our panto experience, an autobiography and various other personal pieces.  We will also read personal texts and focus on building understanding of text and knowledge of vocabulary.  After the February break, we will be writing an imaginative book which will be shared at 'Sharing the Learning' afternoon at the end of term.

In Health and Wellbeing, we will continue learning about food miles and food waste.  The children will continue to work in their leadership groups and organise and lead different activities.  For PE, we will improve our skills in gymnastics and lacrosse.  Once a week until the Easter break, we will have a session a week with the PE specialist Miss McKie.  In March we will have some rugby tasters with Active Stirling.
