This month has been so exciting for us as we held our class assembly. Anyone who saw it would agree that we performed brilliantly! We told our family, friends and school buddies all about the Jewish festival of Sukkot. We showed off our craft skills, with the succahs we made and our wonderful pictures. We sang and even danced with the lulav and etrogs!

Another exciting thing that happened this month was a walk in the local area where we investigated the different types of houses that people live in, like flats, semi-detached houses and bungalows. We also picked up different types of leaves on our walk.

We have been experimenting with different methods of creating art work. We made a collage from leaves we had collected, in the style of Guiseppi Archimboldo. We also made a tree from our leaf rubbings on to silver foil.

We have been learning how to dribble and pass the ball in basketball, but also how to stop! We had great fun being competitive and keeping fit.

We have learnt to use conjunctions (joining words), like “because” and “so”, making two short sentences into one long and more interesting sentence

Our mental maths calculations are improving because we have been practising by playing games on Sumdog.

We have been very funny, making our class and teacher laugh at the Voice Box Joke Competition and we have also been very successful at the Road Safety competition.

Finally, we learnt a lot about the Scottish Patron Saint and celebrated being Scottish because of St Andrew’s Day.

Achievements – Primary 3b are the most awesome class in the school, surely! We have helped people a lot, thinking about others in our families (including our pets!). We have been facing our fears, jumping in the deep end and bouncing on different trampolines. Our footballing, gymnastics and swimming skills are improving.
