We have been using different materials to try to create an Egyptian Shaduf.
We had to decide on what material we wanted to use to construct it and we could make it our self or work as a group.
Our shaduf had to pivot and turn.
We have been learning to use some strategies to solve problems. Today some of the groups made a model to help them solve the train track problem and some groups drew a diagram.
We have been learning about mummification and how the Egyptians used a type of salt called natron to dry out and help preserve the mummy.
We conducted an experiment using 2 tomatoes.
First we weighed each tomato, then scooped out all of the seeds and juice. Next we covered one in a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and salt and left one with nothing on it.
After 2 weeks we looked at both tomatoes.
We found that the one that had been covered in the salt mixture was slightly lighter than the one that wasn’t. It’s skin had gone all hard and wrinkly. The other tomato had started to go mouldy and smelled horrible. The salt mixture had gone all hard as well as it had absorbed all of the liquid.
We have been finding out about all of the jobs Primary 3 pupils have been doing at home to earn money for their money trees.
Well done to all those that took part. We hope the children will continue to do their good deeds at home.
All money raised will be given to the World Wildlife Fund to support endangered animals. Thank you to everyone for your support and donations.
A very big thank you to all our visitors who came to support Primary 3 in their rainforest performance. We hope you all had a good time. The children all worked very hard and enjoyed learning all of the songs and making up the actions to accompany them.
We had to find out information about an endangered animal of the rainforest and create a booklet, poster or PowerPoint to show the class. We listened carefully to everyone’s presentations and asked relevant questions.

We took part on Comic Relief and brought in a donation. We all dressed up for the day.
In PE we have been learning how to play golf. We have been practising putting and worked in groups to design a crazy golf course.

 You had to get the ball in the red hoop – Cara |
 Our ball was a unicorn and you had to get it into the stable – Fraser |

 We had to make sure we were holding the putter correctly – Kenzie |

Primary 3 went on a school trip to Amazonia.
We learned about tropical rainforests, the plants and animals that live there and the threats that they face.
The guide told us about each different layer and we had to think about the animals that live in each layer.
She also told us about the threats to the rainforests all over the world and what we could do to help protect them.
 We saw some tropical fish. |
 There were lots of different types of monkeys. |
 Butterflies were flying around. |
 These were Poison Dart Frogs. |
 The parrots were really noisy and one of them gave us all a big fright. |
 |
 |
 The turtles were enjoying swimming in their pond. |
 The guide told us lots of information about |

 Thank you to all our helpers who got a well deserved coffee break. |
Another fabulous World Book Day with lots of wonderful costumes. We all brought in our favourite books and showed them to the class. We read Silly Billy and all of his worries. We found out that Silly Billy told all his worries to a worry doll and that helped him to stop worrying. We all designed and made our own worry dolls out of pegs, wool and material. We took it home and the next day lots of us said we had told our worries to our worry doll and we had slept better.
