On Saturday at the Summer Fayre, we are going to be selling flower pots and homemade baking.
On Thursday we baked Empire Biscuits, Top Hats, Flapjacks and Crispy Cakes to sell. We will also be selling Strawberry Tarts and Tablet made by Miss Innes’ Mum.
We decorated flower pots and we have beautiful flowers growing inside them.
Hope to see you tomorrow at our stall!
P3A have been learning about Polar Explorers. Miss Innes put us in groups and gave us some information about Polar Explorers. In our groups we made mind maps of important information about our Explorer and then we made a poster based on him.
We found out that Polar Explorers are people who go to the Arctic and Antarctic.
Zach, Nathan, Libby and Muhammad Mu’aadh research Frederick A. Cook. He was an American who explored the Arctic .
Ibrahim, Joseph, Hamza and Imaan researched Robert Edwin Peary. He travelled to the Arctic in 1909 on a ship called the Roosevelt.
Harris, Zoe, Cate and Zayaan researched Roald Amundsen. He travelled to the Antarctic on a ship called the Fram in 1911.
Oliver, Danyal and Carla researched Robert Falcon Scott. He travelled to the Antarctic in 1902 on a ship called the Terra Nova.
Thank you for reading our Blog, hopefully you have learned something about Polar Explorers!!
Primary 3A have had a very busy but exciting week!
We continued our learning on Polar Lands and became very creative!
We learned that Inuit hunters will build an Igloo to stay overnight when they are on a hunt. An Igloo is a house made out of block of snow. The word Igloo actually means house.
We had to collect lots of milk cartoons. Miss Innes and even Miss Innes’ mum collected them over the Christmas holidays and when we got back to school Primary 3A collected them too. Once we had collected enough had to organise them into piles. We modelled the first layer around six models. Then we glued together and continued to build layers on top of one another.
We eventually ran out of milk cartons! We decided to improvise and so we created the roof with two white sheets. We decorated it inside fairy lights, cushions and a white blanket. We even have icicles hanging from the doorway!
Some people have been taking in their own animals that can be found in both the Arctic and Antarctic.
We had a great time working together to build our Igloo. Thank you to everyone who helped us collect all the cartoons!
There are a few pictures below of the Igloo and its construction.
This term we are learning all about Polar Lands. The Polar Lands are the Arctic and the Antarctic.
We know that the Arctic is also known as the North Pole because it most northern part of the world. The Antarctic is also known as the South as it is the most Southern part of the world. Both the Arctic and Antarctic are extremely cold. The Antarctic is so cold that 90% of the worlds ice is found there!
You can find Polar Bears and Sled Dogs in the Artic and Penguins and Seals in the Antarctic.
Last week we were learning all about life in the Arctic.
Cate and Zach – In the Arctic the Inuit goes hunting for Mussels. The dig under the snow and ice when the tide is out to search for Mussels. They only have half an hour to an hour to find the Mussels and get out from under the ice or they will die from the tide coming back in.
Harris – The Inuit wears cosy warm clothes from Arctic animals because it is so cold.
Zayaan – The Inuit hunters will stay in an Igloo when they are out hunting.
Zach – The Inuit will use Sled Dogs for transport because they are very trustworthy.
Carla – The Inuit has a delicacy called Kiviaq. They caught birds called Awks and stored them in seal skins and buried them under stones and wood. They left the Awks for a few months until they had fermented.
Nathan – It is so cold that Inuit will sometimes have icicles on their beards.
We created our own Intuits. We used cotton wool to represent the woolly hoods that Inuit’s wear to keep warm.
This week we finished our topic Autumn Festivals. We finished by learning more about Thanksgiving.
On Monday we learned all about the foods eaten at Thanksgiving. On Thursday, as a wee treat, Miss Innes made us Pumpkin Pie to try because it is always eaten as part of the Thanksgiving feast. Only five people liked it!!
We made ‘We Are Thankful Turkey’s’. On the turkeys feathers we wrote what we were thankful for. There is a picture below of our turkeys but we are also going to tell you what we are thankful for…
Muhammad Mu’aadh – my family.
Libby – my dog Missy and Miss Innes.
Danyal – my school and my family.
Joseph – my cat.
Nathan – chocolate.
Zach – my family and Church.
Harris – sausages and salt.
Cate – my horse and my Church.
Carla – my Mum and Dad.
Imaan – myself and my life.
Lucas – my health and my family.
Ibrahim – my school and chocolate cake.
Hamza – my teacher and my family.
Oliver – the world and health.
Zayaan – school and chocolate.

Today we were busy learning about St. Andrew. We created our very own tartan and listened to some music played on the bagpipes! See the picture below of our tartan pictures!
Thank you for reading our blog!
This week P3a have been learning about The Mayflower and Thanksgiving.
The Mayflower was a really old ship that took 102 Pilgrims from England to America 400 years ago. A Pilgrim is somebody who travels because of religious reasons. The trip took 65 days!
When the Pilgrims arrived in America they struggled to survive because there was little to eat and the weather was very cold. In America they built a village called Pilmoth Village. The Pilgrim children didn’t go to school, instead they would read The Bible. The children would play with marbles for fun. In America, the Pilgrims made friends with the Wampanoag Tribe. The Pilgrims ate lots of sea food, their favourite sea food was mussels. They also ate a lot of duck.
The Pilgrims had a big feast 400 years ago and this was the first Thanksgiving. They had this feast because they had a successful harvest. Americans now celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of every November to remember the Pilgrims and to give thanks to God for all the things in their lives.
We created our own Mayflower. Everyone made their own Pilgrim head using different materials. There is a picture of our artwork below for you to see.
Primary 3a have been learning about The Gun Powder Plot. Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up King James I when he was in the Houses of Parliament. Just before he carried out his plan he was discovered with 36 barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was captured. He was tortured until he confessed and then he was hung.
We celebrate Guy Fawkes’ plan by lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks. Sometimes we even put a model of Guy Fawkes on top of the bonfire. We celebrate this day on the 5th of November.
This week, we created a mind map of notes about Guy Fawkes. Then we worked in groups and created information poster all about Guy Fawkes.
There is a picture below which shows our eye-catching posters.
Remember, remember the 5th of November!
This term we are learning about Autumn Festivals. This week we have been learning all about Halloween.
We found out that the real name for Halloween is actually All Hallows Eve. Halloween was started by the Celtic people who believed that the two worlds between the people who were alive and those who were dead would blur together.
We brought in carved pumpkins and turnips. We even had one Helicon Squash! Check out all of our designs with the picture below!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
