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.
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
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.
As part of learning that each individual has a unique blend of abilities and needs, Primary 3.1 used adjectives to describe their personalities.
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

We have been using our ICT skills to record some of our achievements from P2. We used Microsoft Office to open a Word document. Then we typed sentences. Next we inserted images from clip art to illustrate our sentences. Finally we saved our files.
We discussed all the knowledge and skills we have been learning and practising this year. We wrote ‘I can’ sentences as part of our ‘Growth Mindset’ activities. We set new learning targets.
