Primary 3 – Dark Sky Park

December 12, 2018 Amanda Hastings Leave a comment

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 – Dumfries House – Food and Farming

September 17, 2018 Amanda Hastings Leave a comment

Primary 3 had a fantastic excursion to the Dumfries House farm. We enjoyed a farm tour where we learned about each animal, fed the chickens and ducks and even got to stroke a pig! We also learned how to use ingredients to make scones. We had to cut chives from the garden and used these in our savory scones. We made our own butter by taking it in turns to shake full cream as fast as we could for at least 10 minutes. This was a very worthwhile learning experience which we all enjoyed.

Primary 3 had a fantastic time participating in Tough Mudder 4. We got wet, we got stinky and we got muddy but…. it was worth it! Here are some action shots of us during it.

We explored habitats as part of our mini beast topic. We had to hunt for QR codes and use the iPad to scan them. Using the information, we could then match an insect to their home on our sheet.
