P3S and the children in Mrs Finlayson’s room have an allotment across the road beside the Saltire Centre.
Mrs Finlayson and her children have been out and about today stocking up on seeds. She came to talk to us and show us what they had bought.
We are hoping to build our own greenhouse using plastic bottles. We need 1500!! We are going to send a letter around the whole school tomorrow to ask if they can help us in collecting them.
Today we had to to think of names for a new brand of toothpaste and then design some packaging for it. Some of the names we came up with were Gleam, Happy Tooth, Cool Paste and Sparkletooth.

We have been fundraising for the RNLI. Their national fundraising day was on 29th January 2011 and the theme was SOS. On that Friday, we asked parents and friends to Sponsor Our Spelling.
Today we asked parents to join us at school to Swirl Our Skirts and Share Our Shortbread. We gave a short presentation about the RNLI. After that we gave recitations of Scottish poems and sang songs.

We went back to the classroom and had our shortbread and a wee drink of Irn Bru.
Thank you to everyone who came and who has supported our fundraising for the lifeboats. We will let you know how much we have raised by the end of the week.
Last week we posted about the prayers the children wrote with Mrs Smith. We thought you might like to see the children reading them.

Today we used our activote for the first time this year. Activote allows the children to vote, using individual handsets, to choose the correct answer from multiple choice questions on the interactive whiteboard. We can use it for any subject but today we used it or mental maths.
We also worked in pairs to investigate ways of showing the 2 times table pictorially.
Our class love doing maths!
Here are the spelling and table stars from last week.
Well done everyone!
Our friends at the Big Byte Learning Institute in Taiwan have been celebrating Chinese New Year. They sent us Chinese lanterns with messages they had written. They left them flat so we could make them up ourselves. What a great idea!
We were looking for an idea for something that we could send back when we found this great idea for kilts on the P3 Dunipace blog. Click here to see go to their website and see their brilliant video. Thank you for allowing us to share your idea P3.
We are also going to send the children in Taiwan information about Burns day and some Scottish poems. I wonder if they will like them!
