Amazing Inventors

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.

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.

Crazy Golfers

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.

 

We were learning to hit the ball soft instead of hard and we had to hit it accurately – Zaid We were making different obstacles – Siona
When you hit the ball someone would throw another ball at it to knock yours away. There was then a big arrow you had to get through and then you had to get the ball around the cones. – Sophia 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 You must hit the ball lightly when you are putting – Millie
You had to think about the angle you were standing at and aim carefully with the club – Joseph

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.

Sensational Surveys

I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains. MNU 1-20a

I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b

Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a

We have been working in groups to create our own surveys. We had to think of the question we would ask and the options for the answers. We then asked another class in the school. We recorded our information in a table then had to transfer it to a bar graph. We made sure we labelled it appropriately and used the correct scale. We made predictions about what the results would show and compared our predictions with the result. We then used a spreadsheet in ICT to make a bar graph on the computer.

We also used Venn and Carroll diagrams to sort polar animals into different categories.

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.
