Happy Friday!

This week in Primary 3, we have been busy!

Mrs Nasar taught us about Ramadan, and we made our very own decorations to hang up in our classroom!

We also continued to talk about the importance of healthy eating and made our very own Eatwell Guide on paper plates.

In our writing, we focused on setting and used ambitious adjectives to describe different places.

Finally,  we learnt about more organs in our body and made our very own model of the lungs using straws and paper bags. Check out some pictures of us below.

Happy Friday!

We have had an exciting week in Primary 3.

In Numeracy we have been practicing our multiplication skills and played lots of fun games to help us practice

In Literacy we were reading our new books and learnt how to answer questions on a text.

For this week’s writing lesson we were learning to describe a setting! We have also learned lots of new adjectives to uplevel our sentences.

With Mr Atkinson we learnt all about animals and their footprints. We built our very own animal habitat using Kapla. Hereare some pictures of our habitats.

Have a nice weekend

This week Primary Three have done lots of fun learning!

Mrs Macdonald taught us all about plants in the winter. We learnt about hypothesis and we know scientists use this word to make a guess before they do an experiment.

Some of us were learning about 3D shapes, we know that 3D shapes have 3 properties: corners, faces and edges. You can see some of our fantastic 3D models below.

In our literacy, we were learning about sequencing a story. We can now read a passage and tell you the order events in the story happen!

Finally, we were learning all about our own bodies. We now know different parts of the human skeleton. We were measuring our own skeleton to check if any of our bones were the same length! We now know that our height and our arm span are approximately the same length!

Our week finished with Primary 3 winning this week’s trophy for keeping our lunch hall tidy! We are so proud of ourselves.

Happy Friday!

Happy New Year!

This week, Primary three have been settling back into our routines.

We continued to practice telling the time using both analogue and digital clocks.

We used our comprehension skills to practice answering questions about a text on polar animals.

Mrs Lyall came in, and we learnt about beat and rhythm using claves.

Finally, we started to think about our new IDL journey: Are Humans Better Than Animals? We talked about animals with ‘superheroes,’ and Miss Ginesi asked us to think of lots of questions we have about animals and humans. We are very excited to find out the answers to our questions.

Have a great weekend!

Final Blog of 2025

This week in Primary three we have been having lots of Christmas fun!

In numeracy we completed Christmas problem solving to solve the mystery of the missing mince pie and in our literacy lessons , we cracked the code of the secret inventor.

We also created our very own wreaths using paper plates which was super tricky!

We ended the week by watching a Christmas movie and singing some christmas songs!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Friday!

The Christmas countdown is on!

This week in Primary 3C we have been learning all about parables and we focused on the Good Samaritan story and the Prodigal Son.

In Numeracy we have been practicing telling the time. We can now tell the time on a digital clock to quarter to and on an analogue clock in 5 minute intervals.

Some of us were also creating pizzas to help us practice our halves and quarters.

We are also so excited for Christmas and Mrs Dougall taught us how to make origami Santa faces and draw an Elf on the Shelf. Mr Atkinson showed us how to make our own igloos using kapla and showed us how we can use AI for ideas to design our own Santa Sleigh.

Have a lovely weekend!

This week in Primary three we have been learning all about food chains.

We know that every food chain has an energy source, a producer and at least one consumer. We were able to create our own food chains using paper plates, string and our fantastic drawing skills!

We have also been getting better at our gymnastic skills and practiced different rolls in PE.

Finally, we finished our class novel ‘The Magic Finger’ and were able to identify that the characters in the book developed empathy and that we should always care for others, including animals.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

We have been learning about bar graphs and can now create our own with lots of interesting information.

Mrs Dougall taught us all about biomimicry which is when you copy or imitate things in nature.

We finished the week off by revising our knowledge of living and non-living things and creating our own mindmap to establish the differences between living, non-living and dead things. See some of our fabulous mindmaps below!

Have a good weekend!
