Mitzvah Day

Primary 3 have been icing and decorating biscuits for Mitzvah day. Altogether, we iced and topped 180 biscuits before selling them to the other classes in the school. Our biscuit topping was a success as we managed to sell almost all of the biscuits and made around £30 to give to a charity of our choice.

RRS

We have been set the challenge by Miss Abercrombie to create our own Rights Respecting song. This will be done through thinking about the SHANAARI wheel and our rights respecting display in the classrooom.  The winner will be selected by the Rights Respecting team and be given a prize for their efforts.

New Topic!!!!

This week,  primary 3 have started a new topic all about Scotland. So far we have been learning about Mary Queen of Scots and how she became Queen at just 6 days old!!! We have looked at several artefacts from the past and watched video clips to help us understand more about this important person and how she helped shape Scotland’s history. This morning, we were asked to write a short story on how Mary would’ve felt living in Scotland (sad) or living in France (happy). I chose to write about how sad she would’ve felt on her return to Scotland. I hope to find out more facts about Mary Queen of Scots by researching the internet during ICT lessons.

We have been making beautiful arks, in art and technology. We used paper, plastic and cardboard to build our own arks. We used these materials, because they float.

We used coloured paper to decorate our arks. We all liked decorating the arks, because it was fun, creative and messy.

The arks reminds us of the story of Noah, and how he saved the animals from the flood.

We are all very excited to go to the park this afternoon to float our boats in the pond. At least…….. we hope they are going to float!!

Literacy

In literacy we have been learning to join our letters and learning to write imaginative stories. We have been using adjectives to make our sentences more interesting.

We like finding new words in the thesaurus, and we like using our imagination to write stories. We become the boss of our story and make the story our way with no one telling us what to do.

Numeracy

The circles have been learning how to calculate division with remainders. The triangles have been learning fractions and revising our times tables. The squares have been learning upstairs-downstairs addition.

We like maths when we can play games, because it feels like we’re not working!

Science

We have been learning about electricity, working in pairs to build a circuit. We have been using bulbs, buzzers and motors to show our circuits worked.

P.E

In P.E, we have been learning how to control the  ball, by using our feet and body to stop the ball before passing. The P7 class took us for P.E. We did basketball, gymnastics, balance and dance, it was very hard.

French

We have been learning animal names, parts of the face and family names in French.  It was very fun.

 Technology

We have been working toward building an ark in technology. We have collected different materials that float. We liked doing the experiments because we got wet.

Primary 3 have been busy getting back into the swing of things since starting back last Wednesday.

During Art lessons this week, we have been creating our very own superheroes. We then used our superhero character and wrote about them going on an adventure in our Imaginative writing story.

We have been learning and revising our 2 and 3 times tables in Maths by singing different songs and keeping in time with the beat to help us remember them off by heart.

The circles group have been learning about how to locate Grid references during Maths lessons this week, whilst the Squares have been revising using the 2 and 3 times tables and the Stars have been learning all about Volume by estimating and measuring liquid.
