The children had a great start to the year with a visit from Google Expeditions. They were taken on a virtual reality tour of a rainforest, getting a feel of what it would be like deep within it. Some creepy crawlies made an appearance but everyone was very brave. They also went on an underwater adventure to the Great Barrier Reef and learned about the coral and some fish that lived there.

TALENTED TILERS
Primary 3.1 have been exploring the properties of a range of 2D shapes and identifying 2D shapes which will tile.
They completed tiling patterns with a range and combination of 2D shapes and designed and created tiling patterns with 2D shapes.
I used squares to make a pattern. – Olivia
We practised on the computer.
Thalia – I used triangles to make my pattern.
Fraser – You have to make sure the lines join. There can’t be any gaps.
Cara – I used hexagons.
Arlo – I made a pyramid out of triangles.
Siona – The shapes all have to have straight sides.
Jamie – My pattern is made out of triangles. I had to turn the triangle round to fill each gap.
Oli – I used lots of different shapes with straight sides to make my pattern.
Joseph – You can’t tile with circles because the sides have to fit together.
Jo – You can fill in the gaps in octagons by using squares turned round.
PERFECT 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

Circuit Stamina!
Primary 3.1 have been learning how to work together to create circuits which increase stamina. We had to trust each other, be friends and decide on our rules together. Working as a team meant we had to listen to others ideas. It was important we made our circuit safe so no one could hurt themselves. We had to make it clear what each person was expected to do by demonstrating our station. As well as learning we had to make it safe, challenging and fun. We got to try out each station, gave feedback and made adjustments where necessary. We are now confident working together and can make amazing things if we work well together. Most of us were out of breath too meaning we were improving our stamina!
