RRS World Cup Cultures – USA

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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 – Wind Energy

Leave a comment

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.

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!
