P3b – Badminton
Today, P3b were working very hard on their control skills in PE.Ā They really enjoyed using balloons to practice controlling a piece of light equipment like a shuttlecock.
The balloons were a fantastic way of allowing the pupils control and manoeuvre quickly whilst trying to keep them in the air.Ā They used badminton rackets in pairs to practice their passing skills.
Then, they worked in teams of four to practice passing the balloon through a hoop.Ā This was a great way for them to practice keeping control of the balloon whilst trying to get it through the hoop.
Well done P3b.Ā You worked very hard this morning as a team and you were very successful. We are looking forward to lots more fun playing badminton.
P3b play cricket!
P3b had a great afternoon playing cricket.
They have been discovering a little bit about the game of cricket.Ā Today, they were working on linking actions of throwing and catching the ball.Ā They were very motivated to practice and improve their skills to develop control and flow of the ball.

P3b – Science ā Forces & Magnets
For the last 6 weeks, in the STEM room, P3b have been exploring forces exerted by magnets.Ā 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.Ā Then they had to decide what materials they needed to create and design their own game.
Lastly, they wrote out instructions for their games so that they could test them all out.
They had fantastic fun working with magnets and forces and loved making their own games.

P3b Data Handling Outdoors
Today, P3b were putting their numeracy skills to the test outdoors.
We have been learning about putting information into carroll diagrams, venn diagrams and charts.
Today, they collected an assortment of outdoor materials, and sorted them into groups.Ā They then put that information into a chart of their choice.
P3b have really been enjoying transferring their numeracy skills to their outdoor learning.
Well done P3b.Ā Keep up the hard work š

They watched a video about the process of making the bread at the Warbutons factory.

Primary 3b have been very busy!
P3b have been very busy this week and last week.
Last week outdoors, we made shapes with sticks and put cubes into them, to identify angles in shapes.
This week, we made numbers with sticks, and put cubes into the numbers to show where the angles were and how many they could find.
This term, for science, P3b are working in the STEM room, exploring forces. We have been working with magnets and investigating whether or not materials are magnetic. They have been doing a lot of research and investigation.
Welcome back P3b
Primary 3b have settled back wonderfully, after the Christmas holidays. Ā They have been really enjoying their new novel, sharing library. Ā They are loving taking a book to read, whenever they have some free time. Ā Well done P3b, keep up the hard work.
