St Patrick's Primary School, Ardboe, Dungannon

RESPECT As we begin our school year, it is important that we set out our standards for respect from the beginning. Simple things like a smile, good eye contact or a “hello” can make a huge difference when forming relationships with new friends and helping others. Small gestures towards others show that you value them and will help to build respect. In the month of September we will be focusing on the Christian value - RESPECT. This is also one of our Key School values. As a whole school community, we will be discussing what RESPECT means and what it should look like within each classroom. We will be looking at: How we show respect for each other and adults in the school community. How children are encouraged to value and respect their own and other people’s belongings. How children are encouraged to show tolerance by accepting feelings, habits or beliefs, racial or ethnic origins that are different from their own. What patience, kindness and good manners should look like in our classroom.

Capacity

13th Jan 2023

Capacity

Capacity is an important mathematical concept for children to learn. In Mathematics, the term capacity is used when measuring how much fluid fits inside a container. It is measured in millilitres and litres, or, in imperial, pints and gallons. In Year 3 children start to learn about the relationship between millilitres and litres.They are taught that there are 1000 ml in one litre. They are also given activities to do, involving measuring amounts of water in a measuring jug in millilitres. They might be given a picture of a measuring jug where the water is shown to be halfway between the 100ml and 200ml marks and asked to say how much water is in the jug. Children in Year 3 are also given capacity problems to solve involving comparing, adding and subtracting measurements of liquid.
