What a great time we had! You all looked fabulous Primary 3!
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!
Science
Primary 3 were making and testing predictions about dissolving in water. They talked about colour change when the water mixes with the ink. Next, they predicted what might happen if they change the size and pattern on their drawings.
Topical Science
This week the children have been learning to contribute to discussion on the latest scientific news. We started the lesson by talking about the role of a scientist and what a scientist may look and sound like. They were asked to draw a scientist and explain their reasons. 17 of them drew a male character and 3 drew a female character. This brought about a discussion about famous/popular scientists and we will explore this at a later date.
We then watched videos from TigTag where they learned about plastic pollution and Volcanos. They talked to each other about ways they can improve plastic pollution. They worked together to read through a news article of their own and reported back to the class about their findings.
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!
Science- Phases of the Moon.
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.
Some more OCTOBER news! 🎃

October PE Fun!
We have been having lots of fun in PE!

Science
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.
First Week Back for Primary 3/1
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.
