British Science Week
Thank you to P6 digital leaders for reading amazing STEAM books which sparked lots of curiosity in primary 3! 
Health and Wellbeing
Primary 3 are loving the beautiful weather during PE we played a great team game all pupils demonstrate excellent listening and concentration skills!
Beat the Street!
P3 loved the lunch time walking groups and beating the street! Most days the walking group manage to walk a mile! Maja was our Primary 3 winner with 1400 point! Well done to everyone for walking so many miles and gaining lots of points!
Forest School Fun!
We have been learning about worms, fire, spring time and so much more! The boys and girls love to challenge themselves to climb high too!
Shrove Tuesday
We had a very exciting fractions lesson today with pancakes! After we made them into halves, quarters, thirds, sixths and eights we enjoyed the tasty treat before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent tomorrow.
Numeracy and Maths
In Primary 3 this week we have been learning about division, learning how to add vertically concentrating on place value and ordering number. We have enjoyed working collaboratively to learn these new concepts.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
We celebrated the life of St. Valentine by learning about him and his miracle.
We have created special valentine gifts for the people we love. We used the medium of sugar painting to create a very interesting love heart art piece. We used pipette to drop the colour onto the sugar and glue – excellent for our fine motor skills.
Languages Week Scotland
To celebrate Language Week Scotland we have been inspired by the movie Encanto to learn some Spanish words. Some boys in girls in the class already knew some Spanish words and taught them to us too!
Some boys and girls in the class also enjoyed teaching us how to say hello in a language they speak at home. Thank you boys and girls!
We also learned about the meaning of valuing diversity in our community and enjoyed exploring and discussing everyone in the class’ culture. We are looking forward to continuing to learn about Valuing diversity in Barrhead.
Inspired by The Madrigals in Encanto we thought about how we could use a gift to help others. We created an imaginative diary entry. We also designed a door to reflect our chosen gifts. Here are our star writers! Although everyone in the class did so well, it was a hard choice!
Chinese New Year 🧧
Today to celebrate Chinese New Year we learned about how people around the world celebrate Chinese New Year. Some children shared their personal experiences. We also created a special drum that lots of people play to celebrate Chinese New Year! We learned that some people in China speak mandarin. We had a go at writing some mandarin symbols as it’s our right as a language learner to have a go!
Marvellous Maths
Red fish have been learning about direction. Today they applied what they have learned to solve problems using a pirate treasure map.
p3 have been learning to gather and display data using Google sheets.
Exploring Magnets
We have been exploring magnets. We have discovered what is magnetic and non-magnetic and discussed how magnets are used in every day life.
P3 also built magnetic cars and made them go using what they have learned about opposite sides of magnets repelling each other.
