Hello and welcome to our blog.

Science

In Science we have been learning about Living and Non-living.

We also sorted pictures into living and non-living categories and identified living and non living things from various pictures.

We spent some time in the Woodlands and made a list of different things that we found. We then collected our data and turned this into a tally mark table. Lastly, we used our data to make our very own bar chart.

We know how to collect, sort and create data as well as knowing what something needs to be categorised as living.

A busy week of Science and Maths!

Hello and welcome to our blog.

This week we learned about the religious festival  Diwali  and how it is celebrated around the world.

We listened to the story of Rama and Sita and created our own Rangoli patterns.

We know that it an important religious festival for Hindu and Sikh people and is India’s most important and biggest holiday.

We hope you like our patterns. We worked hard to make them bright and colourful as well as working in teams.

Have lovely weekend

Hello and welcome to our blog.

This week, as part of our IDL topic we learned about Egyptian homes. We designed a floor plan based on our new knowledge and then built our home using Kapla. We worked wonderfully well in groups and our results were fantastic. Take a look…

Hello everyone.

This week in P3b we have been working hard on our IDL topic “Ancient Egypt”.

We have learned where Egypt is by looking at a map of the world. We can see how far away it is from Scotland!

We have found out the reasons why the River Nile was so important to the Egyptian people as well as learning about their daily lives. We know about their homes, the different jobs people may have had and the structure of society.

It was interesting learning about the three seasons and what the Egyptian grew.  We had a little tasting session and sampled fruits that they would have eaten regularly. We enjoyed melon, grapes and figs. We know that the Ancient Egyptian people grew garlic and would eat this most days (especially if you were a farmer)  so we had a little look at this but did not taste it.  We all agreed it was very smelly!

“The River Nile was very important to the Ancient Egyptians.” (Charlie)

“I loved learning about the River Nile.” (Sam)

“The figs looked like strawberries inside but they did not taste like anything.” (Austin)

“The inside of the fig looked like a brain to me.” (Cameron)

We cannot wait to learn more!

Good afternoon and welcome to our blog.

We have been working very hard to create our Class Charter based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.  We have chosen several rights that we feel  are  important for our education  and have created beautiful artwork for the classroom.

We  used  paper to draw around our hands. Then made coloured them in  using a variety of patterns and colours.  They are now part of a beautiful flower display.  Everyone in the class has their hand on the display.

“I really enjoyed creating my handprint design.” (Sam)

” I liked everyone’s design .” (Isla M)

” I liked the colours I used.  They were the colours of the rainbow.” (Blair)

“It was fun to do this task.” (Darren)
