Our Class Charter

We made our Class Charter based on Children’s Rights. We acted out ways  we can make sure everyone helps to respect their rights.

Murray – If I couldn’t find my friend I could find someone else to play with. We include everyone.

Fern – I acted out – working hard and not talking to anyone.

Jamie – I will let others join in my games.

WELCOME TO PRIMARY 3.2!!!

All of our class have settled in really well and are enjoying being big primary 3’s. We have written about our summer holidays and shared our stories with the class. We have been revising our numeracy skills and have made our Class Charter. But best of all, we had our first Golden Time.

Natasha – I like going to ICT because we get to do Education City. It’s really fun.

Andrew – I like everything in Primary 3 so far.

Alex – I enjoyed making our Flat Stanley’s.

Albie – I liked the new assembly because it’s just Primary 1 to 3 now.

Grace –  I’ve enjoyed Golden Time and making Hama bead designs.

Ronan and Dominic – We like building with Lego.

Roses

We have been learning about Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We have enjoyed looking at the iconic flower design that he created.  We created our very own design using pencil and pen. We drew curved lines to create the rose and straight lines to create the background.

I can respond to the work of artists and designers by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others’ work. EXA 1-07a

I can create and present work using the visual elements of line, shape, form, colour, tone, pattern and texture. EXA 1-03a

Inventing Robots

We have been creating robots using different materials, shapes and colours. We created a name and a job for our robots. Using our V.C.O.P strategies we wrote some WOW words to describe them!

“My robot would do the shopping for me!” Jamie

“I used the WOW word ‘glowing’ because my robot lights up at night!” Grace

I have the opportunity to choose and explore a range of media and technologies to create images and objects, discovering their effects and suitability for specific tasks.

Colour Wheel Monsters!

During Art and Design, we created colour wheel monsters to help us learn the primary colours and secondary colours. In groups, we discussed what primary colours mix together to make secondary colours. We chose different materials to make our colour wheel, used scissors to cut out the wheel and created our monster!

We introduced our monster to the class!
