We have had lots of fun over the past few weeks with our Rainforest topic. We learned about different animal species and made our own Macaws.
We learned about different spiders that live in the Amazon Rainforest and made spider webs using art straws and string!
We used QR codes to research a specific Rainforest animals and made posters to share with the class.
P3 – Literacy
Primary 3 have been enjoying some Active Learning in literacy.
P3 – Numeracy
This week, Primary 3 successfully made mazes in our STEM lesson. This required lots of problem solving and good communication skills. The class loved watching parents and carers having a go at the mazes at the Numeracy Open Afternoon.
Primary 3 have also been making 3D shapes with Mrs Reid this week using toothpicks and playdough.
P3 – International Day of Sign Languages
To celebrate International Day of Sign Languages, Primary 3 had a brilliant discussion about our experiences with sign language and why British Sign Language (BSL) is important for us all to learn.
We practised some basic signs that will help us communicate better in the classroom and had fun signing along to a pop song.

P3 – Health and Wellbeing
We have been focussing a lot on identifying our emotions in Primary 3 during these first few weeks. We have also been reflecting about how our energy and emotions can change throughout a day. We now see that a single day can feel so different for all of us.
