P3 – Scottish Inventors

Leave a comment

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!

P3 – Children in Need

Leave a comment

Primary 3 took part in a variety of Children in Need activities to help highlight the important work that Children in Need does each year to ensure that children in the UK get their rights met.

Our ‘Challenge 25’ activity was to run 25 laps of the gym hall each!

 

 

We took part in the Blooket competition in our House teams. Dunlop were the P3 winners! This helped us learn about exactly which rights Children in Need can help with.

We also took part in a Pudsey bear Scavenger Hunt and played ‘Bear Pong’!

Thank you to the Rights Respecting Schools committee for organising such a fun and educational day!
