Primary 3 – Science Project
Primary 3 recently had a 2 week home/school science project. Their challenge was to find out about an aspect of Earth and Beyond that most interested them and to prepare a presentation to teach others in the class about it. We had a wonderful range of models, posters, books, pictures and even a constellation word search for the class to complete! A HUGE thank you to all the adults who supported the children to do this.
Primary 3 – Dark Sky Park
On Monday 10th December, Primary 3 had a very special experience as we visited the Dark Sky Park in the Galloway Forest. This was an opportunity for us to star gaze, look through the largest telescope in Scotland, enjoy the activity room and go in the brand new planetarium. When we were in the planetarium we got to view constellations, travel through space, experience what it’s like when a star dies and watch a rocket launch. One of the highlights of our visit was getting to touch a real piece of the moon. Wow!
P3 – Soup Making
Today, Primary 3 had a special visit from Mrs Houston. She helped us to prepare and cook our own vegetable soup. We learned how to peel, chop, cube and grate vegetables so that they could be included in our soup. We also enjoyed a tour of the school kitchen and learned more from Mrs Houston during a question and answer session. We are looking forward to taking our soup home and sharing it with our families. This learning links to our class learning of food and farming and is going to link to our writing as we will now write our own vegetable soup recipes. If you’re not sure how to make soup, you know who to ask! 
P3 – Pond-dipping at Dumfries House
As part of our minibeast topic, Primary 3 enjoyed a visit to Dumfries House today to pond-dip and search for different minibeasts whose habitat is in the water. Have a look at the photographs below for a snapshot of our day.
