Social Studies 

Preparation of solo talk. See blog post below.

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 🙂
