We are loving having a soft start in the morning! Primary 3 can be so creative!

Primary 3 – Scottish Country Dancing!
As part of gym this term, primary 3 are working on Scottish Country Dancing. P3 and P5 are also lucky enough to be attending the Scottish Country Dance Festival next month.
In order to prepare ourselves for this we have been working with our Primary 5 dance partners to learn a few of these dances. So far we have learned the Flying Scotsman and The Military Two Step.
Hopefully we remember these for our Outdoor Ceilidh on Friday! Great work P3!
Primary 3 – French!
Primary 3 showed me what they remembered about the French they did last term. We started by practicing our numbers to 20, our French colours then our French body parts.
Today we looked at how to ask and answer two important questions in French. We learned how to say ‘What is your name?’ And ‘How old are you?” We walked around the classroom and asked our friends these questions, having to ask and answer each partner in French! If this wasn’t tricky enough we decided to try and write our answers down!
Brilliant work P3 I know this was a difficult task!
Primary 3 – Chinese Dragon!
While some of us were finishing off the dragon on Friday, the rest of us worked in groups to build our own dragons with the Kapla.
Afterwards we talked about how the dragon symbolizes good luck and even watched a real performance of the Dragon Dance and a Lion Dance too!
Primary 3 – Class Blog!
As part of our ICT we have been working on our class blog. Each week children will find their ICT task on the blog with instructions on how to complete it. With the help of their learning trios and an initial demonstration children will carry out the task!
This week children were working with their learning trios to write a post on our class blog and have now began to upload and add pictures too.
All children have access to the P3 class blog with their glow username and password. The blog can be used in class or at home in their own time. They can use this to write/blog about class learning, home learning, extra curricular activities or anything exciting they would like to share with the class. Children can also write comments on the posts of others in the class too.
All comments and posts will be read, checked and approved before being submitted to the blog.
Primary 3 – Hit the Button!
Last week P3 were introduced to the game ‘Hit the Button’. This time we played the game as a class to demonstrate how the game works. We decided to start with number bonds before challenging them with the 2x table!
Remember you can practice this game at home or after you have finished your work in the classroom. I have posted the link below.

Primary 3 – Complete Class Dragon
Primary 3 continued making our Class dragon. We sat in our learning trios so we could help each other finish off each part.
In the middle of the plates primary 3 had to write their initials in Chinese by finding their initials from the picture of the Chinese alphabet on the board. It was tricky but looked amazing!
It took us a while but now our dragon looks great hanging in the bay!
Fantastic team work boys and girls!
Primary 3 – Soft Start Creations
Primary 3 have really been enjoying having a soft start in the morning. We have made lots of creations with the Kapla, some even made their own Chinese dragon with play dough and some decided to draw our class bear Cocoa Bean on the whiteboards!
Primary 3 – Chinese Art!
This afternoon we met Miss Song for the first time. We were so happy to hear she will be spending every Wednesday afternoon with us this term!
As our topic is China we decided to make some crafts to link with this. Yesterday we talked about the Chinese flag and learned that the colour red was used to symbolise the Chinese Revolution and the stars are for the different groups of people that live in China. We then made our own flags with tissue paper. Today we had the chance to finish these off and began to make our whole class Chinese Dragon!
We were so busy this afternoon and our dragon isn’t even finished yet! Great work Primary 3!
Primary 3 – Days of the Week!
Today primary 3 were revising the days of the week. We found a song to help us remember these in the correct order. When the song was finished we had a little quiz to see if we could remember the order correctly!
We tried the same thing with the months of the year.

For some extra practice we played some ordering days of the week games! I will post the link so you can practice at home.
