We all had a lot of fun on World Book Day! We started the morning talking about our favourite books and then reading them to the other Primary 3 class before completing a Where’s Wally Scavenger Hunt.

After break we read the story of Maggie’s Mittens and made ourselves some binoculars. To help us with keeping the page we also made a bookmark. Mrs MacDonald also came to visit and read us one of her favourite books from when she was a girl. In the afternoon we were able to show of our props and outfits in a parade.

We have been learning about the Romans this term and some of us have particularly enjoyed learning about the Roman Army. We discovered that  Roman Soldiers protected themselves with shields and helmets so we decided to make our own. Here were are looking fierce like Roman Soldiers..

In Science we have been learning all about magnets. We have been able to identify magnetic materials in our classroom, conducted magnetic experiments using liquids and looked at the effects of north and south poles on each other. We also created a magnetic game called Go Fish! We had to make the game by ourselves in pairs and then we got to play the game to see who became the winner!

Great fun at the Muddy Movers!

In PE we have been building up our fitness levels by completing fitness  stations. We have been feeling our pulse before and after each activitiy and our pulse was getting quicker.  Today our stations were shuttle runs, agility ladder,  bunny jumps, bounce and catch and jump the distance.

We had a great Christmas Day today. We played lots of games, danced and made snowman biscuits. Here are some of our pictures!

Recently in Science we have been learning about Food Chains.

We investigated the terms herbivore, carnivore and omnivore.  We had to draw and label an animal and then correctly sort the animal using a whole class Venn Diagram.  We had lots of fun!

We now have a wonderful new school library where we are timetabled to go with Mrs Britton. We went this week and we really enjoyed the experience. Here we are enjoying it.

Here are all the sheep ready to Shimmy for the Christmas Nativity!

We have started a new RME topic all about the Parables of Jesus.  We listened to and discussed the story of the two builders or the wise man and the foolish man.  We talked about the message of the story and how we should always work hard in everything that we do and be kind to others.

We used different building materials and tried to build a house on cushions to be like the foolish man who took the easy way out.  We then built a house on solid foundations – it was more difficult to knock down.  We decided we would rather be like the wise man. We also designed our own dream homes!
