P3 practiced lots of skills and were delighted to get to play a game of badminton before we move on to gymnastics next week. I think we may have discovered some future Olympic champions.

We had a very successful trip to the Science Centre this week.

All children were engaged in all parts of the centre enjoying learning about the body, physics and perspective along with a lot more.

We even got to enjoy a 3D movie all about the animal kingdom.

I hope you enjoy the photo dump!

This week we were able to login to our new Pupil Profiles. We began by answering questions to see which animal we are most like.

P3 have been learning about volume and capacity.

We were able to identify 2L on bottles and knew that the 1.5L was smaller so would hold less.

We predicted which of our tubs would hold the most and realised smaller tubs might hold more if they are wider than the taller tubs.

We have been learning about Scottish castle and their design. We chose different materials to see which ones would be best to build a castle. Take a look!

In P3 everyone reads in class for enjoyment. We get to choose a book from our class library and spend some quiet time reading them.

We have begun to learn about measurements.

First we compared who was the smallest to the tallest in our class.

Then we used metre sticks to see which items were tall and smaller. We found out there are 100 cms in a metre.

We have been investigating how sound is made. We discovered objects have to vibrate to make a sound.

Through our experiments we discovered fast vibrations make  high pitched noises and slow vibrations make low pitched noises.

P3 were recalling all the sounds they have learned by going on a class word hunt. They used the words to make sound poster to share with the rest of the class.

This term P3 will be learning lots of new skills to play badminton.

They are off to a great start by practicing the skills they need to make a good serve.
