We are LOVING using the apparatus during gymnastics sessions! 😊

We are really enjoying taking part in the RSPB wild challenge.

We are first of all trying to achieve a bronze award.  So far we have completed 2 tasks.  We surveyed our school grounds for wildlife habitats and made an action plan to create more animal homes.  We then wrote to our MSP to ask for more bins around the school as litter is a big problem for our playground wildlife.  We have so many ideas for our other challenges!

    

   

We have also entered a Chinese New Year Competition.

It is the year of the rabbit and our posters look fabulous!  Good luck everyone!

     

     

In Health and Wellbeing, we are thinking about kindness and how to treat each other in a kind and caring way.  We loved listening to ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ We then made our own little buckets.  We are all superb at filling buckets with kindness and respect 🧡💛

Party Time 🥳🎅

We had lots of fun!

 

 

CREATING OUR OWN TARTAN

We designed our own tartan using paint.  This finished off our topic about Scotland.  They all looked wonderful!

KAPLA

We continue to love using Kapla to create amazing structures and designs.

THE SNOWMAN

Our Winter topic has been The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.  We loved making these little snow people using salt dough.  They are all ready for the Christmas ball!

THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT!

We were all fantastic! Well done everyone!

WINTER WALKS

We went on a frosty walk and found lots of interesting icy patterns and shapes.

 

The Primary 3/2 Children In Need Talent Show 2022

What an amazingly talented class!!

Well done Primary 3/2.  You really impressed me with all your fantastic acts.  And all for a fantastic charity 💰⭐

We’ve had another very busy month!

Symmetrical Skeletons 🦴🦴🦴

We worked very hard to create these fantastic symmetrical skeletons.  It was hard work with lots of cutting but we persevered!

Fitness Stations 🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♀️

We have been working on whole body fitness.  This has been really tiring but we have improved our stamina levels and overall fitness.  (Article 31)

 

  

   

   

   

Puppet Shows!

Some of the children have created their own puppet shows.  These have been fantastic and great fun for the audience.  Well done, everyone!  (Article 31)

 

Writing Instructions 🥪🥪

We made cucumber sandwiches and then wrote clear instructions detailing how to make them.  They were delicious!  (Article 27)

Road Safety Week

We have been thinking about how we can make roads safe for everyone.  We were all able to tell each other the key rules for crossing the road safely.

Super Tasty Bread Making!

We have been learning about the journey of some foods.  We started with carrots.  Then moved onto milk and finally we learned about the journey of wheat.  Making bread was the highlight of the week!

Remembrance Day 11.11.22

Beautiful poppy drawings … we respectfully observed a two minute silence on Remembrance Day and created poppy drawings using pastels.  The class worked quietly and we had a thoughtful discussion about what poppies signify.

MATHS WEEK SCOTLAND

We had a fun week thinking about symmetry and learning about data handling.  We have been going outdoors as much as we can while the weather is good!  (ARTICLE 24 and 28)

     

      

   

EQUALITY STARS OF THE MONTH

Well done to our Equality winners for August, September and October.

These children were selected as winners for observing the Rights of the Child.

They were caught working hard and paying attention in class, helping others when they are hurt and including others in games and activities.  Superstars! (ARTICLE 4)

JOHN LOGIE BAIRD

We learned some interesting facts about the invention of the telephone and then tried to speak to our friends by using our homemade telephones!

     

     

Measuring in Metres

We went outside and did some measuring.  We found lots of things which were about 1 metre in length/height, less than 1m and more than 1m.

 

 

 

 

We’ve been working so hard this month! 😊😊😊

Hello from Primary 3/2!

We have been enjoying lots of lovely stories this month.

‘The Dot’ by Peter H Reynolds helped us to think about how we can encourage others and how kind words can help us to feel proud of our achievements.

We created our own wonderful DOT artwork and explored symmetry using lots and lots of dots!

   

   

   

   

We also read ‘The Bog Baby’ by Jeanne Willis.  We loved this story so much that we decided to go on a Bog Baby hunt around our school grounds.  We think we saw one!

   

    

PE with Greg and Chris was lots of fun!  We participated in activities to help us improve our jumping, throwing and running skills.

Symmetry and Shape in Gymnastics!

We looked at photographs of gymnasts.  The photos were a great place to find lines of symmetry and 2D shapes.  We tried to make our own 2D shapes using our bodies … triangle and rectangle demonstrated here!

We also created some posters which will be displayed in the classroom.

 

 

Hello from P3/2!

We have been very busy getting used to our new classroom and getting to know where everything is.  We have been doing lots of revising and also lots of new learning.  I think we are going to have a great year!

2D and 3D SHAPES

We have been revising the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes.

SCOTTISH ARTISTS

We have been learning about the life and work of Jolomo.

Our sketches and paintings are AMAZING!

TEAM WORK

We always love creating fabulous structures using the Kapla and Lego!

 

Ready for another year in Cross Arthurlie.
