We have been learning about a balanced diet.
Today we tasted some fruit, we also created a healthy smoothie recipe and then had a go at preparing the drink using a variety of utensils. This was our first Mark Your Mark experience of Primary 3! The boys and girls are very proud of themselves for preparing the smoothie and tasting it!
This week the boys and girls loved exploring our class STEAM bins.
We are working on the skills of communication and collaboration.
Our topic this term is the rainforest, the boys and girls have created fabulous questions with what they would like to learn about. Lots of pupils asked questions about the aniamls in the rainforest so today we made a start learning about the animals that live in the canopy (where most animal in the rainforest live). We were exited to learn facts about the toucan and also created amazing drawings focusing on the visual elements of colour, scale and composition.
The pictures below show the boys and girls viewing each others work, giving each other a compliment and also learning about being a critical friend.

We took our learning outside today to enjoy the sunshine! ☀️
We were using our metacognitive skills of communicate and collaboration. The boys and girls stated lots of other skills they were using in this challenge too! The STEAM challenge this afternoon was to become an engineer and made a tripod structure using spaghetti and marshmallows. We looked at real life structure like the Eiffel tower for inspiration. Every group worked together well and created an interesting structure.
We have had a wonderful week in Primary 3!
We enjoyed games with the whole of P3.
We also completed lots of our targets this week such as making a feeling monster and sensory spelling. 
Meet Cookie! Our class teddy! We used a pictagram to choose her name. This is our travelling ted who will be coming home with one pupil on Friday! Please complete the worksheet to share with us what Cookie gets up to at the weekend! Everyone will have a turn of Cookie throughout the year! 
We have also really enjoyed learning some tennis skills which we will be working on throughout this term.
