MARCH 2024

March in Primary 3/1

It’s been a busy month so far with open afternoon, muddy movers, world book day, thinking about sustainability and Big Walk and Wheel!  We’ve had a great time learning lots of new things and working as a team 😊

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

   

   

   

   

   

 

XA Nature Challenge 🌲🌳

The Cross Arthurlie Nature Challenge 🌳🌲🦅

Primary 3 have been learning more about nature and how we can protect our environment.  We started off by learning about different types of birds and then we made birdfeeders.  We hung them from branches around the school.

   

   

   

   

Well done P3!  We have ten challenges to complete ⭐

The Primary 3/1 Romans

THE ROMANS

We have really enjoyed learning about the Romans.

Our favourite part was learning about the Roman army and the life of a soldier.

We designed our own shields and helmets!

   

   

   

 

Languages Week Scotland 2024

LANGUAGES WEEK SCOTLAND 2024

We had a great week learning about languages from all over the world.

We researched countries we would like to visit and made a list of our favourite places and why we would like to visit them.

   

We looked at home for items made in different countries.  We brought them into school and listened to the language from that country.

We thought about food from around the world and C went to an Italian restaurant called ORO.  He asked the waiter what the word meant and found out it was gold.  C said his meal was delicious!

We played a game on Kahoot about different countries and languages.  It was great fun!

   

Book cover quiz – this was quite tricky!  We had to guess the title of the book by looking at the cover and then guess the language the title was written in.  Great effort from everyone 📚😊

 

 

Robert Burns – 25th January 2024

We celebrated the birthday of Robert Burns on the 25th of January.

We tasted Scottish cheese and oatcakes, sang Auld Lang Syne, learned ‘The Selkirk grace’ and made information posters about the famous Scottish Bard.

It was a busy day!

   

   

   

   

   

   

December 2023 ⛄🎅

We’ve had a very busy December so far!

Winter walks 

 

We went on a winter scavenger hunt and the only thing we didn’t find were animal prints.  We are going to keep looking though!

Learning about Tessellation …

   

   

   

   

We discovered that tiling with ovals or circles doesn’t work very well!  We had great discussions about tiling patterns and which shapes worked well.

Healthy Eating

Dress Rehearsal 

We were brilliant!

Salt Dough Snowmen 

What a mess we made!!  But our snowmen look amazing!  Watch out for them coming home ⛄❄⛄

Super Spelling …

Brilliant team work when we shared the spelling resources.  What a great way to learn our spelling words! 😊

GREAT WORK P3/1.

YOU’VE BEEN A BUSY BUNCH THIS MONTH!

 

 

November 2023 🍂

We all had great fun on Friday 17th November when we participated in activities to raise money for the Children in Need charity.

We loved singing, dancing, telling jokes and performing gymnastic routines during our Pudsey Talent Show.  Well done everyone!
