As part of our Victorians topic, we explored various Victorian games and how they compare to those children play today. We engaged in a hands-on activity by rotating through different game stations, where we played specific games while discussing their rules and skills required. This experience allowed us to identify key aspects of each game, such as materials used and the number of players. We reflected on how these games highlight the similarities and differences in play across generations, enriching our understanding of Victorian childhoods.

In P.E, we have started learning how to pass the ball in hockey. This week, our focus has been on mastering the basic passing techniques and stopping the ball. We took part in different drills to help us practice, and we worked in pairs to improve our accuracy and control. We also learned about the importance of communication with teammates while passing the ball. Overall, it has been a fun and engaging way to develop our hockey skills!

P3 has been learning about the life of a Victorian girl named Eleanor and what it was like for her to attend school. We are learning how to tell her story using story maps and storytelling voices. In the next few weeks, we will rewrite her diary in writing before making up our own imaginative stories of a Victorian child.

As part of our school’s commitment to enhancing the learning and application of S.T.E.A.M. subjects, we took a trip to the Glasgow Science Centre. P3C had a wonderful time exploring and experimenting with the different exhibits across the three floors. We wrapped up our visit with an exciting journey through the Solar System at the fantastic Planetarium.

As part of our Victorian Topic, we have been learning about the life of Queen Victoria and her influence on the Victorian era. We decided to test our knowledge this week and participate in a Victorian quiz. We completed the quiz in groups and took the time to discuss what we thought our answers could be. There was fantastic teamwork going on in P3C!

Last week we mentioned in our previous blog that we were practising a Gymnastic routine in groups. Well, this week it was show time! We did one last practice of our routines to ensure that we did it in time with each other. The children were fantastic performers and a quality audience for their peers.

P3C have started doing Gymnastics this week in P.E. We practiced making different shapes with our bodies and tensing our muscles to stay in position. We are working together with a partner or trio next week to show the class our own routines. Each group will base this on the different gymnastic shapes that we have been learning to do.

It has been a fantastic few weeks in P3C as we have settled into the new routines of our classroom. We created our own class promise and set the tone for celebrating positivity, uniqueness and teamwork. An example of one of our rules is to let our magic shine and to always try our best. We also decided on our class topic for this term The Victorians and look forward to beginning to learn about it next week.

This week we did a STEM challenge and worked together in groups to design and create a marble run! We hope you agree that our designs are very creative and innovative. We discussed how certain materials may be more durable and how the design of our tracks would need to be thought out to let the marble run smoothly.
