Yesterday in P2/3 we were busy exploring maps and finding out where Scotland was on a map of the United Kingdom. We then looked at a map of Scotland and found where all the cities were. We used an atlas to help us and we all did a great job with our map tasks! 

We would love to create a class display of different places we’ve visited in Scotland so if you have any photographs of the children in other Scottish towns/cities or near any Scottish Landmarks it would be great to see them!

Happy New Year to you All! We hope that you enjoyed a lovely festive break.  It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of our first week back already! The children have settled back in perfectly and have been working very hard! 

For the month of January, the whole school will be doing a mini topic on Scotland. In P2/3 we will be exploring the map of Scotland and learning some Scots words through stories, poems and songs. We are going to learn about some famous Scots and we are looking forward to learning some traditional Scottish dances. We may even be doing some haggis, neeps and tatties tasting! 

Keep checking our blog to see what we’re getting up to! We are looking forward to an exciting term ahead! 😃

We had a wonderful time this afternoon at our P2/P3 Christmas Party!  We enjoyed party games, party food and there were lots of cool dance moves on show!! The highlight of the afternoon of course, was a visit from Santa!!

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and look forward to seeing you all in the New Year! Happy Holidays!!

Congratulations to Maja on being awarded Pupil of the Week! She has been working very hard in Maths this week and is making great progress.

This has been a successful week for Maja because she was also the winner of our Christmas Homework Challenge. Maja managed to make 54 words and they were beautifully written! Well done Maja! Keep up the super work!

It was lovely to see all the children in their colourful Christmas jumpers, t-shirts and dresses today! We had lots of fun and raised a good sum of money for Save the Children at the same time – thank you for your donations! We were giving a big ‘Ho Ho Ho’ in the photograph   (as you can probably see from some of the funny expressions!!)

It was lovely to have so many visitors in Room 3 today for our Open Afternoon! We hope you enjoyed looking at all the children’s work and seeing what we’ve been up to in the classroom. Thanks to all of you who bought our lovely Hama Bead Christmas Decorations – we were sold out in no time at all!!

It has been a hive of activity in Room 3 the last week or so as we have been hard at work on our Christmas Enterprise Initiative. The boys and girls have made beautiful Christmas tree decorations using Hama Beads. They have put a great deal of thought and effort into their designs and we are all extremely proud of the finished products!

We will be selling our lovely tree decorations at our Open Afternoon tomorrow 3pm-4pm so bring along some pennies!!

Today in Room 3 we were very busy learning all about stars. We had lots of fun using mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks to make some super star constellations!

A huge congratulations to our most recent Pupil of the Week – Victoria! We are so proud of Victoria for her super effort in class! Victoria has been working extremely hard on her story writing and has been producing some fantastic work! Well done Victoria! 

The P3 boys and girls have been working hard in Maths the last few weeks learning their 2 times and 10 times multiplication facts. We are about to start working on our 5 times table next! We have been doing lots of practical and game based learning. ‘Hit the Button’ is a top favourite game in class and if the children haven’t mentioned it yet, here is a link so that you can try it out at home. Have Fun!!
