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 – Literacy

Primary 3 have been loving ‘The Night I Met Father Christmas’ by Ben Miller. The book has allowed us to have some very good discussions about a range of important themes as we learn how Father Christmas became Father Christmas. We looked closely at the beginning of chapter 10 and picked out the important descriptive words that help us visualise the scene. Afterwards, we drew our own visualisations of the scene and presented them to the rest of the class. It’s amazing how we can all picture things a bit differently!

P3 – Children in Need

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!
