Primary 3 spent the afternoon with PC Reid learning how the police use maths in their work.   Primary 3 had to solve the maths calucaltions in a treasure hunt acitivty. PC Reid was very impressed with the maths skills by primary 3 and how well they worked together as a team.

The afternoon ended with PC Reid answering some of the questions primary 3  had about road safety and  some tips on how to stay safe.

Primary 3 had a a brilliant week last week to celebrate book week.  They loved all the different activities particularly getting the chance to come dressed as their favourite book character! Can you work out who we all are?

Primary 3 have been trying to solve word problems using concrete materials.  The task was to read the problem and then work out what they could use to sovle the problem.   We had stations set up today that also involved working in partners.  We hope you are impressed by some of the photogrpahs capturing our hard work,

Primary 3 had the opportunity to test their research question about if the size of the parachute for Jack effected how long his escape would be.  This morning we worked together as class to invesitagte this by having some pupils time the parachutes using stopwatches, a few pupils recording the results on white boards, a photgrapher and some pupils throwing the parachute from a ledge in the hub.  The reuslts showed that the smaller parachute took less time to fall to the ground.  Some of the class were delighted with this as they had predicted this result beforehand.  Primary 3 have been very enthusiastic about this investigation and we are about to plan out next one about friction.

Primary 3 have been working very hard on designing a parachute that would help Jack escape from the giant in the book “Jack and the Beanstalk”,  Today we made the final touches to the parachute and next week we will testing if a smaller parachute would be better compared to a bigger one.  Primary 3 are so excited to find out the answer.

Primary 3 were so proud today when Harry, Maya and Lola all won the logo competition.  All pupils were to design a logo for their house that will be used for the house point cards and the house captains decided on the winning designs.  Well done! 🙂

Primary 3 wish everyone a happy New Year.  We have been learning all about the pomegranate and the importance of it for Rosh Hashanah.  Primary 3 have worked to together to write a poem all about titles “The Pomegranate”.
