This week we became news reporters and created our own news reports telling the success stories of some endangered animals that have moved off the endangered list. We had to do some research around our chosen animal, then create our script for the news report and then film it. They were amazing and  I must say I think we have some future news reporters in P3a!

We have also continued to develop our technology skills by logging on and off the chromebooks and creating word documents.

We are currently learning about endangered animals. We used our reading books to find out information about Sea Turtles and find out why they are endangered. We then used our books to create a rescue poster for the Sea Turtles ensuring we used key information.

In Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about the five main food groups and what types of food are in each food group. We have also been looking at the importance of being active and staying hydrated.

We are developing our technology skills and have been using the chromebooks to help us log on and off a device and practice our typing skills on a word document.

In PE, we are developing our tennis skills. This week, we looked at how we hold a tennis racket and how to serve the ball.

With Mrs Lazonby this week, we used skills of cutting and our knowledge of line to create beautiful flower bouquets.

We had a great time performing our show ‘There’s a Sunflower in my Supper’ we were so proud of all our hard work and hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed preforming  the show!

We also had great fun working on our music with Mrs.Lyall reading music and playing instruments.

We hope you all have a lovely Easter holiday!

We are continuing to work hard on our show and can’t wait for you all to see it on Tuesday. Here is a little sneak peak below!

To celebrate Eid, we made festive lanterns which look beautiful!

We have also been working hard on our Imaginative writing. We have been creating our own stories, making sure we include our writing golden rules and some our literacy techniques like adjectives and similes.

We are continuing to work hard on our multiplication and division and have been using lots of different strategies to help consolidate our understanding!

We had an amazing trip to Hampden! We got a tour around the museum and then had a quiz to check some of our knowledge. We then got to go down and see the Stadium and it was amazing to stand in the tunnel and sit where the Scotland players would sit. We also got a little shot at different football drills. All in all it was a great day. Enjoy all our photos from the day below.

We have had a busy week in P3A!

In Dance, we were given dance terms and had to create the dance move that we thought matched the name. We came up with some amazing moves and used these to create super dances.

In Writing, this week we used the information from our research to create a report on our chosen athlete. Our reports were super and contained lots of great infromation!

We have been working hard on division and have been using concrete materials to help us.

In PE, we became the fitness instructors and took our own mini fitness sessions. They were very hard and I think we have lots of future PTs on our hands!!

We have had a busy few days in P3a!

P7b joined us to share their learning about David and Goliath. P7 made great props and puppets for their stories which made it really interesting for us to hear. We were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the stories.

We have been enjoying creating our own dances in PE and have impressed Miss Regan with our great dance moves.

We have been continuing with our topic the History of Sport and this week we used the ipads to research information about ‘heroes’ of different sports and made hero cards about them. We found out some great facts and information about our selected athletes.

In Literacy and English, we wrote great report all about ourselves and are continuing to work hard on our spelling and reading. In Numeracy and Maths, we are continuing to explore multiplication and division with the 2 times table.

We have had a busy week in P3a! We started off the week trying our best and working really hard on our standardised test.

In PE, we are continuing to work on our fitness and we enjoyed creating our own fitness circuits and then testing them out. Some were very very hard and worked all our muscles!!

We have been really enjoying our topic ‘The History of Sport” and we have looked at the History of the Olympics and Commonwealth Games and we got the iPads to research the history of our own chosen sports and found out lots of fun facts about different sports.

We have been enjoying our music lessons with Mrs Lyall and this week we explored a new rhythm and enjoyed playing different games.

We have also been discussing growth and fixed mindsets this week and we looked at the different things we can say and do to help us develop a growth mindset.

In PE, we are working on developing our fitness and we tested how many of each exercise we can do in one minute and will check our scores at the end of our fitness block to see if our scores have improved.

“We had to count how many our partner did or how long they held each exercise.”

“It was fun!”

In PE, we finishing of our block of Gymnastics and this week we tried out Sports Acro and we had to work with a partner to create different balances.

“You make different shapes and have to work hard to hold them.”

We read ‘The Dot’ by Peter H.Reynolds and we explored how Vashti doesn’t show resilience but she makes a mark and sees how it goes. So we  created beautiful artwork from our own dots.
