Pupil of the week
Jessica is our pupil of the week. She worked extremely hard on her farm to fork homework and has been an excellent role model for the class.
The Great Kapok Tree
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.
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.
PERFECT PERSONALITIES
As part of learning that each individual has a unique blend of abilities and needs, Primary 3.1 used adjectives to describe their personalities.
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.
Alliteration is when you have to use the same sound at the start of every word. – Siona
We made haunted house pictures to accompany our class poem.
We had to blend red and yellow for the sky. – Sophia
The house was hard to cut out. – Liam
It was fun printing the ghosts and drawing on funny faces. – Cara
P3.1 ARE NOW FLAT!!!!
We drew around each other using chalk and measured how tall our Flat person was.
