Primary 3 love learning outside and with the better weather arriving, we have been making the most of it!

We have learning all about the signs of Spring and we were very interested to learn that lots of birds build their nests in Spring.  Here we are using natural resources to try and build our own birds nests, it definitely isn’t as easy as it looks!

Our new topic for term 4 is ‘Plants’.  We have been busy learning what plants need to grow and how important they are for our environment.

We have been digging over one of the school planters to prepare it for some wildflower seeds.  We hope this will encourage bees and butterflies into our school garden.

We have also planted our own sunflower seeds, we can’t wait to see them grow!

Here we are in the Sensory Garden, we were sketching different plants that we could see.

This term for Skills Academy we are learning all about creativity.

The first week we went outside to work as the weather was so nice.

We learned all about how to be successful at miming and we learned how to mime different jobs.

We talked about different skills in drama and how it was important to use different facial expressions.  We also worked on moving in different ways.

I enjoyed miming with my partner in the circle. – Fin

I enjoyed miming different animal movements. – Ollie

I enjoyed it when people had to guess what I was doing. – Gordon

We went out into the playground to look for rectangular shapes. We had to measure the length and the width so we could calculate the area. We used meter sticks to do this and we worked in groups. We also used trundle wheels.

We were also given walkie talkies so we could go off and work in groups.

I learned how to measure an area successfully – Seth.

I learned how to use a trundle wheel – Poppy.

I worked well with my partners – Jayden.

Primary 4 took part in the naming the gritters competition.

We were very fortunate to have a few winning entries. As a class we decided on Frosty Mosty and Snow Angel. We then had an individual winner with his name Salter Smith.

We were then very excited to have a visit from Salter Smith, Snow Angel and Frosty Mosty !
