On Wednesday 11th December SLC3 visited Dumfries House to explore electricity. We used a battery, switch and wires to make different circuits. We were then able to use this knowledge to create a Christmas decoration that lights up! On the computer we used a coding program to make our bulb light up. Some of us could make it change colour. At lunchtime we went outside to play.
On Thursday 12th December SLC had lunch with Santa at Intu Braehead. We had a buffet style lunch and Santa read us a story then sang us some songs. We went for a ride in the North Pole train and had great fun sledging down the snow slopes. A great day was had by all!
SLC3 have been working hard to learn the numbers to 10 in Spanish. Have a look at some of the work they have been doing below.

On Thursday 22nd November, SLC3 travelled up to Glasgow to visit the Cocoa Bean Factory as part of their topic on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The pupils had a brilliant time and were able to make lots of different types of chocolate to take home. They learned how to make chocolate in different shaped moulds, decorated chocolate bars and made marshmallow men!
Later, the pupils learned about where chocolate comes from and got to touch and grind real cocoa beans.
We worked with Mr Ross in the morning to explore literacy through drama. We have been learning about the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the morning, we read about Mike Teavee being transported by a magic television in the factory. We then came up with our own ideas to bring TV adverts to life.
Later in the day, we practiced our spelling words using some active methods. One of our favourites was using the magnetic letters and boards.
