Have a look at what 3c have been doing!
Digital Technology Week
P3c were lucky enough to learn about how people use technology in the wider environment. We used ozbots which were mini robots. We designed pathways for the ozbot to follow.
Local Area Topic
As part of of our Local Area topic, we have been enjoying the outdoors and conducting a traffic survey of the different vehicles which pass our school. We then created this information into graphs.
Library Visit
We walked to Giffnock Library and were lucky enough to find out about the different ways we can use the library and each selected a book to take back to class. We found out about the history of the library and had a look through some books about the history of the local area.
Science Centre Trip
A reminder that we will be going to Glasgow Science Centre next Tuesday (5th June). Children can bring a packed lunch if they wish or order a baguette from the school which we will bring with us.

Eastwood House
This afternoon as part of our Outdoor learning, we went to Eastwood House to learn more about our Local Area which is our topic. We found out about the history of Eastwood House and then did a quiz about what we learned.
VR Headsets
During Digital Technology Week we have been using a range of technology to enhance our learning experiences. Have a look at us trying out the VR headsets.
Local Area topic
We have been using the Chromebooks to find out about local businesses in our area and why they are important to the local community. Then we created some information leaflets about a local business.
We also designed our own business which we thought the community needed. We had to think of a name for the business, what it would sell or provide and explain why it would be important.
P3c enjoying tennis!

Primary 3c had a fantastic morning practising their tennis skills through a range of activities.

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.”

RE
In RE we have been focusing on the theme of Catholic Education Week- Serving the Common Good. We have been learning about how we can all work together to do this and created leaflets and posters about ways in which we can do this in our own lives.
Music
Our Music specialist has been busy working with us again. We have been listening to the story of Peter and the Wolf and identifying the different instruments we hear in the story.
Science
In Science we have been learning about germs and diseases. We enjoyed carrying out an experiment on a potato in which we predicted and then tested where most germs would grow on a potato which had been outside, in a control bag, on the floor or which had touched our hands. The conclusion we found was that most germs grew on the potato which had been on the ground outside however our hands and the floor also had lots of germs!
Outdoor Learning
We have been learning about different angles in numeracy and have learned to identify a right, straight, obtuse and acute angle. For outdoor learning we had to create numbers using sticks and identify with the cubes the angles in each number.
Art
We have been learning about the work of a Scottish artist called Steven Brown. After learning about his life and his work we have been replicating his work. Have a look at some of the amazing giraffes that we produced using coloured pencil. Next we will be drawing Highland cows and using oil pastels as our media.
3c and 3d enjoying a trip to St Ninians!
