This week we were using our magnetic boards and playing Hangman to help us with our spelling words.

As part of topic we have been discussing why it is important to look after our planet. We joined schools from all over Britain for a live lesson on why plants are important for our planet. We got to see the inside of the Eden Project and we looked at different types of plants. We discovered plants have lots of important jobs like giving us food and oxygen and they also help to keep our planet cool. Next week we are going to think about what we can do to help.

Thank you so much to our P7 pupils for setting up great activities for our P3s to share with their adults who attended our literacy open morning. I hope the P3s get to enjoy their Book Bug bags at home.

Well done to all P3s for their preparation and their presentations of their Big Talks. Mrs Withers loved learning lots of new facts about their favourite animals.

P3 explored different art techniques to create a frieze for our display. We based it on our book study The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch and we are looking forward to sharing it with you on our literacy open morning.

We researched a local dairy farm called Mossgeil Farm and investigated the journey of how milk gets from the cow to our glass.

P3 practiced their target skills by trying to shoot baskets at the PE.

P3 were learning how to record data using tally marks. First they counted the different types of vehicles in a picture, then they counted how many times they rolled each number on a dice. They shared their data with the rest of the class to see which number was rolled the most and which was rolled the least amount of times.

We practiced our ball skills to help us get better at basketball.

We used our creative skills to make Halloween decorations.
