Primary 3 term 2

Primary 3 continue to develop their meta-skills across the curriculum. Great skills shown during our Creative Dance sessions!

Finn “I collaborated with my team to make up a very good dance. We started in a circle, jumped away from each other, tiptoed  into a line and the we copied the dance moves of one of our team. We then switched the leader.”

Ben “I communicated with my team. I listened and told ideas to my group so we could use them to create a dance to Ghostbusters.”

   

   

   

STEM Challenges

Amyra “I collaborated with my team to make a hut at least 12cm tall and it had to stay standing after a wind storm.”

Finn ” Our group added a working door and it did not fall down. It stayed still for over 5 seconds.”

   

Children in Need Day

Esme “We gave donations towards Children in Need. We coloured our own Pudsey t-shirts.”

Visit to Lochthorn Library

Amyra “At the library, we got to pick our own books to take home if we had our library card.”

Remembrance Day poppies, The Twits diorama, The Nutcracker

Jack “I illustrated a chapter from The Twits in my diorama. It showed Muggle-Wump thinking of the idea of the Hugtight Sticky Glue and making the Twits go upside down.”

Amyra “I made my diorama showing Mrs Twit floating off to space.”

Zoe “On Remembrance Day, we focussed to draw the poppies in our art. We listened to the poem by John McCrae.”

Euan “I used my creativity and focussing skills to make a Nutcracker and the Mouse King in a snowy wood.”
