Sports Day!

3 Comments

Primary 3/2 had lots of fun at their Sports Day today! Unfortunately our lovely Scottish weather meant that it couldn’t be held outside on the astroturf as planned, but we didn’t let that didn’t spoil our fun! In the morning we enjoyed taking part in P2 and P3 sprint and egg and spoon races – check out photos of our winners below! We all had fun though and realised it was about taking part and enjoying ourselves! In the afternoon we got to take part in potted sports where we tried lots of different activities to earn points for our houses – it was lots of fun!

Personal Research Projects

3 Comments

Over the last 2 weeks, P3/2 have been working on their personal research projects as part of their homework. They could choose to do it on a hobby they are interested in, a city or country, their favourite band or sport, anything at all! I am so impressed at the quality of work the boys and girls have produced. We have had lots of varied topics, presented in many different ways including posters, books, Powerpoint presentations and cubes! The children have been so enthusiastic about researching and presenting their topic of choice; it is clear we have some very independent learners in P3/2!DSC04421 DSC04424 DSC04427 DSC04430 DSC04434 DSC04437 DSC04439 DSC04441 DSC04445 DSC04465 DSC04466 DSC04467 DSC04472 DSC04474 DSC04476

 

Amazing Apostrophes!

Leave a comment

Primary 3 have been learning about apostrophes of contraction. They found out that they are used to shorten two words into one word. Where there are letter(s) missing, that is where the apostrophe goes. Here we are trying out our new skills!

Plants and Growing

5 Comments

We are really enjoying our topic. Our bean plant is making excellent progress and we are recording this in our bean diaries – check out our photos below! We are also growing our own cress and investigated the best conditions for plants to grow in. Today we visited our new wildlife garden where we used garden equipment to make sure the soil had lots of air in it and was nice and fresh. Then we sowed our wild flower seeds. We are hoping our flowers will start to grow soon and encourage new wildlife including butterflies and honey bees.

Measure – Length

Leave a comment

We have been investigating different ways of measuring length. P3 have been learning how to measure length in centimetres (cm) and metres (m), and are able to state the most appropriate way to measure different lengths. P2 have been using non-standard units of measure including handspan, feet and cubes. Here they are doing some fantastic measuring!

Measure

Leave a comment

P3/2 enjoyed investigating volume last week. We experimented with different containers and estimated what would hold more/less.  P2 were able to use this information to order containers from least to most volume.  P3 also began to look at scales for measuring volume. We identified that volume of liquid is normally measured using millilitres (ml) or litres (l), and were able to measure out a specific volume using a measuring jug and reading the scale.

Plants and Growing

1 Comment

This week we have been exploring what plants need to grow. We all agreed that, a bit like humans, plants need water to grow. They also need food (which they can get from the soil) and sunlight. We planted some ‘magic beans’ this week using all of the above, and will be keeping a diary to see how they are progressing over the next few weeks! We also sponge-painted some of our own leaves.

Health Fortnight

4 Comments

After a very busy couple of weeks, we are now well and truly into Term 4! We started the term off with our Health Fortnight. During this time we learned all about how to keep ourselves safe and healthy. This included road safety and types of crossings, dental hygiene and the importance of a healthy, balanced diet.  We got to take part in taster sessions including taekwondo, rugby and dance.  Some of us had never tried these sports before so it was a brilliant opportunity to give them a go.  We also had iBike day which was very popular, we got to try out a bike obstacle course. Not forgetting our ‘Run to Rio’ challenge, where each class has been out running a mile each day. We are hoping our total adds up to 6000 miles, which is the distance from Falkirk to Rio in Brazil! Have a look at some of our photos. 🙂

Farewell Mrs Adamson and Happy Holidays!

Today we said an emotional farewell to our Headteacher, Mrs Adamson. She has been the Headteacher at Kinnaird since the school opened in 2008, and is now moving on to another job. She will be sadly missed! We sang the school song to wish her farewell and good luck.

Thank you to all my lovely boys and girls for all of your hard work over Term 3, it has been a very busy but enjoyable one! Thanks also to parents and families for your continued support over the term. Wishing you all a very happy holidays, have fun and take care!
Miss Taylor 🙂
