Primary 3c

Have a look below at what Primary 3c have been working on in class this week.

The Celts

As part of our Celts topic, children have been learning about different aspects of Celtic life. We combined art, technology and social studies through designing Celtic jewellery with clay! We moulded it into the shape we wanted and then created designs with a pencil. Next week we will paint our Celtic jewellery!

We have been enjoying developing our teamwork skills during PE and today were playing a game called Diamond Football. Have a look below:

Artwork:

We have now completed our Steven Brown inspired artwork using a range of different medias. Have a look at our wonderful work that is now displayed on our art wall in class:

Writing:

This week we have been learning how to write a comic strip. We focused on using exciting adjectives and using pictures and words which would make it interesting for our reader. We presented our comic strip to the class. Have a look at some of our star writers work this week which is displayed on our writing wall of fame:

Reminder:

A friendly reminder that next Thursday Celts projects are due in to class. We will begin presenting these to the class on Friday. We are super impressed with what we have seen so far. Thank you!

P3a outdoor Learning.

During outdoor learning P3a were practicing fractions using concrete materials.

P3b play cricket!

P3b had a great afternoon playing cricket.

They have been discovering a little bit about the game of cricket. Today, they were working on linking actions of throwing and catching the ball. They were very motivated to practice and improve their skills to develop control and flow of the ball.

They are keen to continue playing cricket. They did really well today, following instructions and working as a team.

Well done P3b, Keep up the good work!

Primary 3d play hockey

Primary 3d have been developing their passing and team building skills while learning to play hockey. They enjoyed having a mini competition.

Primary 6 perform their Easter Cantata

Today, at Eastwood Theatre, Primary 3 were very lucky to be the audience for Primary 6’s Easter Cantata. And what a treat it was!

Primary 6 did a magnificent job of retelling the story of Easter. Some of us were very proud of siblings but we were all extremely entertained by everyone’s wonderful acting and singing.

Primary 3 really enjoyed their experience at the theatre.

When we came back to school, we chatted about what we thought of the Primary 6’s special performance.

“I loved the encore at the end when we got to hear the song ‘Roll back the stone’ twice.”
“I thought it was dazzling because they all looked really great in their costumes.”
“Jesus was really good at his parts. I loved his singing.”
“The Harpist at the beginning was magnificent.”
“The boys and girls were very expressive and sang out loudly.”
“I think Miss Kane was brilliant on the piano.”
“I thought it was amazing because I really liked the songs.”
“I thought the props were really good.”
“We thought it was very entertaining.”
“The acting was outstanding and they remembered all their lines.”
“Fantastic performance P6 – We loved your show. We were all very impressed.”

P3b – Science – Forces & Magnets

For the last 6 weeks, in the STEM room, P3b have been exploring forces exerted by magnets. They have been investigating forces on magnetic and non-magnetic materials.

This week, they have been applying their knowledge of magnetic materials and in groups, they contributed to the design of a game.

First, they had to logically organise their information about magnets and magnetic materials. Then they had to decide what materials they needed to create and design their own game.
