WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME OF OUR POEMS PUBLISHED!

We entered a competition which was organised by Young Writers. We had to create a monster and then write an acrostic poem about it.  Our poems were fantastic so they were all entered into the competition.  We received an email which said …

We’ve got some fantastic news for you, we’d love to publish your pupils in “Monster Acrostics – Fangtastic Poems”! We’ve posted a package out to you today, which contains awesome bookmarks & certificates to be handed out to your pupils, letters for parents and a letter for you that explains everything, including the next steps. We can’t wait to publish your pupils and I hope they’re excited to receive the news!

AMAZING! Great work p3/2!

Monster Acrostics Poetry Competition

Big Walk and Wheel 2025

Today we had fun in the playground on our bikes and scooters. We took part in activities organised by the Junior Road Safety team. We enjoyed trying the slow race, slalom and the obstacle course.  We have made posters in class to try to encourage people to switch off their engines and travel to school in a healthier way.

Today we had a special treat when the firefighters from Barrhead Fire Station came to visit us at school.

We got to sit in the cab of the fire engine, learn about lots of life saving equipment and best of all, spray some water!

Thank you to the firefighting team for a fun session

RSPB Fundraiser 2025

WOW! What a brilliant day we had!

You all worked so hard to raise money for the charity which has helped us learn so much about birds and protecting nature.

You are all  superstars!

We raised £160 which is a massive total and all the money has been sent to Mike at the RSPB.  He is very impressed with  our achievements.

World Book Day 2025

We listened to a story called Handa’s Surprise.

We then tried all the fruit from Handa’s basket.

The pineapple was our favourite but most of us disliked the avocado!

We also visited the travelling Book Fair and made some very lengthy wish lists!  I hope your book dreams come true P3/2!

Well done to our amazing K!

You were fantastic and we are all very proud of you

There is a video clip on our Google Classroom.

Languages Week Scotland

We have been thinking about different languages from around the world.

We made a display of items which are made in different countries and then learned how to say hello in the language of that country.  Great work from everyone!

BSL – I can sing a Rainbow
You were all brilliant at learning this lovely song using sign language.
Well done!

If the link doesn’t work, you can watch on your Google Classroom.

We have also been learning a new song in French which we will sing at our school assembly on Friday and we have been learning Mandarin with Ms Xu.  So far we have learned numbers, tones and greetings.  We also learned lots of new facts about Chinese New Year.

January has been a busy month for us! 

We have listened to some brilliant solo talks from very confident pupils, learned about wind energy and made our own windsocks and windmills, and we have even started Mandarin lessons!

We took part in the RSPB Big Schools Bird count and received a certificate which is signed by Sir David Attenborough.  This is a special achievement.

We continue to have lots and lots of fun during Muddy Movers and during art we have been studying Andy Warhol.  We tried out some cool pop art techniques. Busy month!

We have been very busy learning about nature and protecting the environment.  Some of the highlights have been creating a den for amphibians, making a logpile house for minibeasts, writing wonderful poems which were inspired by a crispy, cold autumn walk, and using digital microscopes to examine natural objects.

The RSPB think we are amazing and have sent us all a bronze award for working so hard!  Now, we will work towards our silver award.

I’m so proud of you all!

What a very busy month!

Christmas Show, Christmas party, learning about Barn Owls, playing chimes bars in music, fantastic solo talks, library visits, making reindeer food and microtia awareness day!!

Time for a rest

Have a fantastic Christmas Primary 3/2!
