Endangered Animals of the Rainforest

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.

When I engage with others, I know when and how to listen, when to talk, how much to say, when to ask questions and how to respond with respect. LIT 1-02a

I can present my writing in a way that will make it legible and attractive for my reader, combining words, images and other features. LIT 1-24a

World Book Day

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.

Children from Other Lands

Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can describe the various ways in which land has been used. SOC 1-13a

By exploring climate zones around the world, I can compare and describe how climate affects living things. SOC 1-12b

So far this term we have been comparing our landscape and culture in Scotland with that of the Polar Lands.

We carried out research into Scottish food and drink, traditions, signs and symbols, famous people, sport, houses, schools, landscape and music.

We designed and made our own tartan kilts and pipers.

We  answered different types of questions about children that live in Scotland and also about Inuit children and found some similarities and differences about the way each live.

We carried out research, and took notes about Inuit children, polar bears and penguins and we sorted our information into bullet points.

Sophia was proud to show us her penguin she had made at home and was happy to show us how we could all make one.

We are now going to learn about the Rainforest and the people that live there.

A Petrifying Poem

Primary 3.1 have been trying to use interesting words in their writing. This week we were using alliteration to write a Halloween Horror poem. We worked in groups to use alliteration in one line of the poem. We then put all the ideas together to make a class, spooky poem.

PREPARING FOR THE PARALYMPICS!!!

Primary 3.1 used their experience of the Rio Olympics and Paralympics as a stimulus to create a collage. They were also being Eco friendly by using recycled paint and old containers.

They made silhouette paintings of a variety of sports from both the Olympics and Paralympics. Can you guess each sport?
