On Saturday at the school fayre we sold our plant pots and our home made baking.  The top hats, tablet and flapjacks were the most popular and sold very quickly!  Some people were involved in selling our products.

Cate – I enjoyed giving people their cakes.

Lucas – I enjoyed giving people their cakes and buying them!

Carla – I enjoyed giving people their change and saying “have a nice day”.

Ibrahim – I enjoyed giving our customers their change.

Harris – I enjoyed eating the flapjacks!

We made a profit of £27.50!   Miss Innes and Mrs McNaught are going to use the profit to buy us a special treat next week….!

Thank you to everyone who bought our cakes!!

Primary 3A went outside to learn how to estimate and measure.

We worked in pairs.  We threw a beanbag and then estimated how far we had thrown it in centimetres and meters.  We recorded the information in our jotters.  We measured the distances with trundle wheels.

We all enjoyed getting outside, measuring and having fun!

 

Sumdog is a website that lets you play maths games.  Last week, there was a challenge for every class in East Renfrewshire.  Each child in each class had to answer 1000 questions!!  You had to answer an many as you could correctly.  At the end of the challenge there was a leader board to show the winner.

P3A came third place and every single person in P3A answered their 1000 questions!  Miss Innes was SO SO SO SO proud of everyone!  We also felt proud of ourselves and some of us were a little bit tired!

Miss Innes brought us in cookies and a Freddo to say well done.

Come and challenge us anytime!!!

Today (Friday 20th March) there was a Solar Eclipse.  We know that a Solar Eclipse is when the moon travels in front of the sun and hides it.  When a Solar Eclipse happens it becomes really dark and cold.

Yesterday, we made Solar Eclipse viewers using two paper plates.

 

We had to be very carefully when we were making the hole because we used a screwdriver to make one big enough.  We made this viewer because it is not safe to look directly at the Eclipse.  If you look directly at it you can possibly damage your eyes or be blinded.

We went up to the pitch to try and get a good view of the Solar Eclipse.  It was quite cloudy which made it hard for us to see it.  When the cloud passed we were able to see the moon covering the sun.  Miss Innes got a couple of photographs.  If you zoom in on the first photograph, you can see the Eclipse quite clearly.

 

Thank you for reading our Blog!

P3A have been learning about the Northern and Southern Lights.

Did you know that there is another name for the Northern Lights?  We found out that it is the Aurora Borealis.  These lights can be found in the Arctic.

The Southern Lights are found in the Antarctic and they are called the Aurora Australis

These lights are formed when the sun’s solar storms are brought towards Earth by solar winds.

We created our own Northern Lights picture.  We used different colours of chalk and we developed our blending technique to produce our own art work.

Miss Innes thinks they look FANTASTIC!!! What do you think?!
