Primary 3 have been learning about wind energy this week. We learned how wind creates energy in wind turbines and enjoyed making our own.
We read chapter 3 of our class novel, Flat Stanley , entitled “Stanley the Kite” and made our own kites after we learned about how kites can fly using wind energy.
We worked in our House teams to create our kites. The pupils enjoyed flying them in the playground.
Primary 3 have enjoyed learning about many Scottish inventions to start off 2026. The pupils chose which Scottish inventions to find out more about. Here are just some examples of their learning.
We investigated fingerprints. P3 enjoyed identifying the fingerprints of the teachers in school and then looked at their own for unique markings.
We investigated the history of golf. We found out about a local golf course and made our own mini golf courses.
We learned about the person who invented the kaleidoscope and had a go at making our own.
We found out that ice hockey originates from the Scottish game of Shinty.
There are so many more Scottish inventions that we have covered, as you can see in the photo above. Maybe our class has a famous inventor of the future!
Primary 3 have been learning how to use multiple features of Word documents, including how to highlight text and change fonts, text sizes and colours. We are becoming more confident with finding the different keys on the keyboard. We put all of these skills to good use and practised our spelling words.
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.
