We have been learning about reporting the news! We wrote newspaper reports and then we used what we learned about John Shanks’ death to create a script for a news report. We enjoyed playing around with green screen app on the iPads to make it look like we were inside the factory in 1895. We also discovered the very first moving picture was created in 1895!
We have been learning about influential figures in history who shaped Barrhead. We are researching John Shanks. Lots of boys and girls have done their own research at home and have been sharing it with the class this week. Thank you so much for all your hard work boys and girls! Lots of children have discovered that their grans, grandpas, great grans and great grandpas worked for Shanks & Co.
I was blown away with primary 3’s presentation in their writing jotters. They did a fantastic job of describing their characters using adjectives. Some pupils challenged themselves and added connectives into their sentences to give their reader more information. Well done everyone!
Well done to Ayat and Leon for receiving a Growth Mindset award today at assembly for having a positive attitude to learning and when faced with a challenge they both used resources and asked their buddy for help.
We have been learning to tell the time at quarter to and quarter past. We use the new whiteboards to show the teacher the time on the analogue and digital clocks.

We have been drawing Cat in the Hat. We followed the teacher instructions. We have been looking at line in art. We use black felt tip pens for the outline and only red for the stripes on his hat.

Primary 3 are taking responsibility of their class blog this year. Every month, 2 pupils will be our class bloggers and they will create a post about their learning.
Our first class bloggers are; Tola and Oliver.
A big congratulations to Tola and Emmie who appeared in the newspaper this week for being responsible citizens and taking part in a fantastic community opportunity set up by Tola’s mum to encourage everyone to read! Look out around Barrhead for a recyclable pouch with a preloved book. Once you have read it hide it again for someone else to find.
Well done and thank you for sharing girls!

We have all had a lovely few days in Primary 3, catching up on our holiday news.
Today in Primary 3 we were learning to tell the time at quarter past and quarter to. Everyone worked collaboratively in small groups to complete lots of activities to practice telling the time at quarter to and quarter past as well as revising telling the time at o’clock and half past.
Keep practising telling the time at home primary 3!
