Sponsored Walk/ European Day of Languages
We enjoyed the whole school sponsored walk on Monday. A big thank you to all the helpers who joined us!
Yesterday was European Day of Languages. We celebrated this by taking part in a whole school assembly. We have been learning a French song with P3B and we performed it infront of the school. We enjoyed showing off our dance moves and singing skills! We also completed research about a European country in class. We chose France. We now know the capital, population, area, where the country is located on a map, famous landmarks,some famous people, popular activities and food, the prime minister and the national anthem! Here is a picture of some of the Primary 3’s with our french flags.

The end of another busy school week. It was lovely to see all the parents/ families at the Meet the Teacher/ numeracy event last night. Thank you all for coming along.We have already had lots of offers of help for our P3 library mission from parents. We are still looking for a rug if anybody has one they no longer require!
In literacy we have been learning about common and proper nouns. This is separate to our RWI programme of work. In writing we been learning how to incorporate VCOP into our imaginative stories. We have written underwater adventure stories after reading the story ” Sharing a Shell” by Julia Donaldson. Lots of super vocabulary and wow words were included in everyone’s stories.
