What a fantastic effort from P3KG making their own castles at home. Well done to everyone!

We really loved seeing these and hearing all about how they were made, materials used and the features included.

This week we have been finishing off our data handling topic in maths. We have been sorting information into Venn diagrams and some of us even made our own pictographs on the laptops!

We have began data handling in maths. This week we conducted surveys in class asking each other our favourite things and using tally marks to keep count. We then presented the data we had collected in bar charts.

We had great fun during our gymnastics lesson at PE today. We tried out some different balances, rolls and had lots of fun using the apparatus!

To round off our Scotland topic today, primary 3 were learning a little bit about the artist Steven Brown and exploring his McCoo pictures.

We then had a go at making some of our own!

We had such a lovely day in P3 today! We did some body percussion to Christmas music and then in the afternoon we had our Christmas party!

This week we have been exploring symmetry, using mirrors to establish if a shape is symmetrical or asymmetrical. We have also been making salt dough Christmas ornaments.

We have had a very busy week in P3KG. We have been exploring the book “Yoko” by Rosemary Wells which focuses on a Japanese main character. We then spent the week learning more about Japanese culture, writing reports about it, comparing Japan to Scotland, even doing some cherry blossom painting and trying out some origami! Plus we even managed to squeeze in a visit to the library. 📚

What a busy week! We have been learning about 2 digit and 3 digit addition and developing our ability to find information in reading books to answer questions. We have also started to learn about food chains in the rainforest and terms such as: producer, consumer, predator and prey.
