NATIVITY 2021

We have been working hard to learn the songs and words for our Nativity Play which is called ‘Straw and Order’.  We hope you enjoy it!  Here are some photos of us rehearsing on the stage and showing off our costumes!

    

     

JUDO

We enjoyed meeting Tommy and Melissa at The Foundry where they introduced us to Judo.  We did some fun warm ups and then learned some Judo moves.  It was quite difficult but great fun!  Thank you to the mums who came along and helped us on our walk and for making sure we were safe on the very icy paths!

Children in Need 2021 ❤️

We had a brilliant day today!
We took part in the Joe Wicks Pudsey workout and the P7 active stations in the gym hall. Then we spent our pocket money at the toy and book sale. We finished the day with a wonderful talent show!  Thank you to everyone for sending in donations towards this great charity.   Well done, Primary 3!

November in Primary 3/1 🧨🎆🎇

We have been very busy in P3!

HEALTHY EATING

We had a tasty time when we made fruit kebabs.  We had to think very carefully about hand hygiene and the importance of making good choices when eating snacks.  They tasted lovely!

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5th of NOVEMBER!

We learned about the importance of bonfire and firework safety and had some great discussions about what to do in an emergency.  We then created wonderful firework pictures.

MEASURING IN MATHS

We have been learning about grams and kilograms and had lots of fun comparing the weight of objects.

Maths Week Scotland 2021

We’ve had a brilliant week thinking about how important maths is.  We use maths all the time! We decided to take our learning outdoors and used our environment for symmetry and data handling challenges.  We had lots of fun and we talked all the time about what we were doing and what we discovered!

 

 

   

We worked on symmetry back in the classroom too 🙂

Venn Diagrams and Carroll Diagrams – great understanding and excellent teamwork!

 

 

 

Fractions – Can you cut a wrap into 2 equal parts to make halves?  Can you make quarters?  How many parts will you have?  So many questions during our fractions activity.  The wraps tasted great with jam and honey.  A lovely, wee treat after working so hard!

    

Length – Our challenge was to create an item which measured exactly 50cm.  This was great fun and quite challenging!  Three groups managed to make their items measure exactly 50cm 🙂

   

 

 

What a great week!

 

September in Primary 3/1

Hello Everyone 😊

We have all really enjoyed lots of great activities since coming back to school  in August!

We have been very busy thinking about the rights of children and then we went on to create our own class charter based on what was important to us.  It looks fantastic!

We have also been studying the artist, Steven Brown.  We created our own animal pictures using paint and pastel.  We thought about line, colour and texture and had lots of fun making them.

   

 

 

We created a jigsaw on our wall.  This was to show how unique we all are.  This is now a word we use all the time!  It has been lovely to celebrate all our individual strengths and qualities.

WE ARE PRIMARY 3, EACH ONE OF US UNIQUE AND WHEN WE GET TOGETHER, THE PUZZLE IS COMPLETE!

      

In Literacy, we have been learning about common nouns and proper nouns.

We can’t wait for some more fun learning in October!
