We have been learning all about what engineers do through our Scottish Rainforest topic as lots of civil engineers work in there. We have also been inspired to learn more about engineering after reading our new read, write, count books Martha Maps It Out and Faster Than A Cheetah. Today we celebrated National Engineering Day by entering a competition where we drew an engineer at work then described their job using everything we have learned this term! Arn’t they amazing! We are hoping for a winner!
Taekwondo
We loved our Taekwondo taster today. We have a letter in our bags with more information! 🥋
This week in P3b …
We have started team sports in PE this week. I loved the warm up of pass tig. Then we went round different stations to develop the skill of hand eye coordination.
We also read one of our read, write, count books Nothing Faster Than a Cheetah. We listen to the author and illustrator on Author Live and took part in a draw along of the cheetah! Then we made our own Top Trumps on a Google docs, we can’t wait to play them with our families when they join us in 22nd November!

The Air We Breath
We continued our learning about the air we breath today in science learning more about our respiratory system. We created labelled diagrams and even had a go at making our own lungs model to understand how they work.
P3 finishing off their Jack Jack Skeleton studies inspired by the characters of Tim Burton. Pupils focussed on drawing skills then oil pastel blending. Very spooky creations p3b!
Science Centre Trip
We have been learning about the air that we breath – air pollution and our respiratory system.
On Monday we made mucus and discussed how important it is! We experimented with coco powder, cous cous and oats to see the impact of air pollution to our health.
Today we explore the body works mall in the science centre to learn more about how our body works.
Then we took part in a workshop all out the air that we breath.
We had a fabulous day out!

Maths Week Scotland
We have been learning about time through the story of Alice and Wonderland to celebrate Maths Week Scotland. We enjoyed listening to the story and took part in a STEM challenge to create a hat to attend an unbirthday with the Mad Hatter. 🎩 🧢 👒 We also created a poster of our favourite number.
Climate Action Week Scotland
To celebrate Climate Action Week Scotland we got together to take part in a live lesson all about habitats. We were taken round a wildlife sanctuary in the highlands. The ranger, Jasper took us round all the enclosures to show us Scottish animals recreation of natural habitats. We were so proud that we were the only school that knew pine martens eat squirrels!
