Earth Day was Friday 22nd April and we learned how to help keep our Earth clean and safe. We decided to help our school environment by going on to the grass to pick up litter. In only 15 mins we managed to nearly fill a black bin bag. We thought it was sad that we found so much litter in our environment.  However it has made us make sure we don’t drop our litter in the future. Here were are with our thumbs down to litter.

We were given a Science  Challenge this month. We were told that in a group we had to build or make a something that was 3D. We could use any resources that we had in the classroom. Most groups decided to use Lego but one group decided to use paper and  glue. Here are our creations. They all met the criteria.

We have been studying France and the different places that tourists can visit. We looked at lots of different tourist atttractions but we all loved the Eiffel Tower in Paris. We have created our own Eiffel Towers using art straws and chalk.

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!
