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.
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
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 |

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.

I can describe some of the kinds of work that people do and I am finding out about the wider world of work.  HWB 1-20a
A big thank you to all our visitors that have come to P3 to tell everyone about their career.
We have been looking at the skills and qualities required for different jobs.
Some children have been impersonating a police officer over the last few weeks as they enjoyed dressing up in Mrs Sneddon’s police uniform.
Marci’s dad brought along his camera and showed everyone how to make a film.
Bonnie’s dad told us all about being a Forester. It sounded like a fabulous job and the children asked lots of interesting questions.
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.
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.
I can follow and understand rules and procedures, developing my ability to achieve personal goals. I recognise and can adopt different roles in a range of practical activities. HWB 1-23a
The children worked collaboratively to create there own games in the playground.
They made up rules for their games and each group had to explain them to the class, and lead the class when playing their game.
The class gave feedback after each game looking at what worked well and any improvements that could be made.
 We asked the class calculations and the first one on the answer got to ask the next question. |
 We had to split the class into 2 groups so there weren’t too many people running to the same number. |
 We all started standing in a circle. Someone stood in the middle and threw the ball to each person in turn. |
 If someone didn’t catch the ball they had to go and do an assault course. |
 Lots of people dropped the ball or didn’t throw it back very well. |
 They had to throw another ball between 2, ten times. |
 We threw the ball up in the air and caught it ten times. |
 |
 We saw how far we could travel balancing the ball on the bat. |
 You had to get the ball in the hoop. |

One group made up a game of football v basketball. This was fun but quite hard.
