The children were developing their knowledge of Space.   They can identify the 8 phases of the moon and had the choice to draw or cut and stick the 8 phases of the moon to paper plates.

Primary 3 have started to observe the sun and the moon. Today they learned about the patterns of movement. We used balloons to recreate the moon orbiting Earth and identified how the moon reflects the light of the sun.

Primary 3/1 have had a very busy and productive week.  They have been developing their cooperation skills by working in small groups to build bridges.  Their task was to create something that could hold the weight of a small toy car.  Primary 3 talked about what makes a structure strong and identified the importance of building a strong foundation, they identified 2D shapes within their structures.

Primary 3/1 have been reading the novel Flat Stanley and were keen to design their own kite.  We talked about wind force and why kites can fly.  They also identified reasons as to why a kite would not fly.

Whilst reading Flat Stanley we read about measurement.  Primary 3/1 have been busy measuring different items in the classroom using a ruler and metre sticks.  They carefully used a ruler to draw and measure different pieces of artwork.
