RRS World Cup Cultures – USA

Primary 3 have loved learning about different cultures involved in the World Cup this summer. Today was our last celebration of a Host country: USA! In PE we worked on our “soccer” skills. We celebrated America by learning the number of states and the meaning behind the flag. Then, we took part in some country and western-style dances and had a Disney movie quiz. After lunch, we worked out some Disney maths questions.

Thank you to the RRS Committee for creating these activities. We can’t wait to have more World Cup fun over the next few weeks!

 

RRS World Cup Cultures – Canada

On Thursday the whole school celebrated all things Canada as we build up our excitement for the 2026 Men’s World Cup. We played Ice Hockey numeracy games, wrote a short story set in Canada, and focussed a lot on our school value of Kindness, as Canadians have a kind reputation .  The class learned about famous Canadian landmarks including Niagra Falls and the CN Tower.  We also enjoyed trying out some ice hockey equipment brought in by some older pupils. Last but not least, Primary 3 loved tasting some maple syrup on pancakes!

 

RRS World Cup Cultures – Mexico

Primary 3 had a fantastic day on Monday, learning about Mexico! We learned about the geography and climate of Mexico, the origins of the country and made comparisons to Scotland. We took part in music activities based on the move, “CoCo” and enjoyed trying some nachos with optional salsa, cheese and guacamole.

Fingers crossed that Scotland do well and get to play in Mexico in the knock-out stages!

P3 – Vatenfall visit

Thank you so much to Carol from Vattenfall for paying us a visit to talk about different types of energy today. We learned so much more about the power of wind and Primary 3 really enjoyed learning about different job possibilities at a wind farm.

Some pupils were lucky enough to be chosen randomly to use the Vattenfall Virtual Reality headset to see the inside and the top of a real wind turbine!

P3 – Wind Energy

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.
