Solo Talks

Just before the holidays primary 3a completed their solo talks on The Rainforest. I was blown away with the time and effort that had been spent creating these talks. They were amazing! As a class we listened to each other’s talks and gave comments and questions at the end of each one. Here are some pictures of us in action.

Google Drive

If any of the pupils have used a digital device to make their presentation for the Rainforest then please upload it to their google drive so that it can be accessed from school. Instructions to do this are below.

  1. Search for google drive on the internet. If you are using a tablet, mobile or ipad you can dowload an app for google drive.
  2. Once you are on the link www.google.com/drive it will ask you to log in.
  3. Log in using pupils glow email address which is what they use to get onto the class chromebooks, although you need to add @er.glow.scot to the end. For example ‘gw17surnamethenfirst@er.glow.scot’. Their password is the same one that they use to get onto the schools chromebooks.

Solo Talk

Primary 3’s topic this term is ‘The Rainforest’. We have learned lots about the rainforest so far and have really enjoyed it. We have learned that the rainforest has 4 layers and have looked a bit further into the living things that can be found in each of these layers.

At the end of March the boys and girls in P3 will be delivering a solo talk about an animal that lives in the rainforest. Over the next 2 weeks part of the pupils homework will be to create a presentation about their chosen animal. This presentation can be in the form of a poster, poem, powerpoint, video or song… you choose! They will then present their findings to the rest of the class.

We would ask that if pupils are using digital technologies to create their presentation that they save it onto their google drive once complete in order for it to be shown in school. This can be accessed through their glow log in.

Can all pupils bring their finished presentations in by Friday 22nd March.

If you need any materials or have any questions about the solo talk please ask Miss McFlynn 🙂

WE 8/3/19

This week we spent some time outdoors using the new equipment with P3b. We worked hard together to build a den using the wooden planks.

We also worked together to build some towers with the tyres. Look how tall they are!

We can’t wait to go outdoors again next week!

REMINDER: Can all pupils remember to bring in warm clothes and shoes that are suitable for outdoor learning. These may get dirty so if possible can it be old clothes.

Thanks Miss McFlynn and P3a 🙂
