We retold the parable of The Lost Son using role play this afternoon.

We were inspired by the Rosie in the book Rosie Revere Engineer. We used creativity to plan, design and try it out. We created interesting straws, glasses, a TV and fans.

Today we investigated the affect of the temperature of water when added to skittles to make a rainbow. We discovered hot water speeds up the experiment.

Today we explored pollination.

We have been working so hard to prepare our P3 Learning Assembly and cannot wait to share it with you on Friday!

We would like to invite all our families to join us for

OUR LEARNING ASSEMBLY

– Friday 15th March 2024

– 2:30 PM

Hope to see you all there.

We were so lucky to be visited by the STEM leaders this morning who led an amazing STEM Challenge. We made cars then timed how long they took to travel down the ramp. We covered the surface of the ramp in different material to see what affected how fast our cars travelled.

Thank you so much to the boys and girls who told everyone about Ramadan today. They were so confident talking about their faith!

We have kicked off British Science week with a BANG! 💥

First we started the day by investigating tessellation in real life environments. We discussed people who work with tessellation every day could be a builder, tiler and architect. We took part in lots of different tessellation tasks to test our skills.

Then we took part in a BBC Live lesson discovering how time impacts nature and animals. The boys and girls were excellent at answering the challenge questions! Great listening everyone!

Next we were visited by Mrs Anwar, a phlebotomist who told us how she uses time in her job. It was interesting and the children were very grateful to learn how STEM is so important in the work place.

Finally we finished the day with PE, we timed each other with stop watches to see how many jumps or runs we could do in a given time.

To learn more about the charity Mary’s Meals we were so lucky to be visited today by Mary’s Meals volunteer, John Duffy. The boys and girls asked excellent questions to find out more information and often shared their knowledge which really impressed him!

John also congratulated us on raising £170 for Mary’s Meals!

Congratulations to Primary 3 for donating 111.3kg to East Renfrewshire Food Bank after leading a successful campaign to collect donations so none goes hungry in our local community. We have been  learning about Global Goal 2: World Hunger and have had lots of discussions around how we can make a difference!
