As part of our PLAY Book task last week, we had to choose a Roman-related activity. It could be a craft activity, research task or map work. Miss Taylor was so impressed at all the fabulous pieces of work, it was clear the boys and girls had tried very hard and put in a lot of effort! Well done everyone!
P3/2 had great fun this afternoon taking part in our Easter egg challenge! We had to hunt around the classroom for eggs. Each egg had a question inside – we worked in our pairs to answer the questions and write these down on our record sheet. We had to find as many as we could in 15 minutes! There were questions for P2 and different ones for P3. Miss Taylor is busy checking the results and the winners will find out tomorrow!
P3/2 are now fully-fledged recruits of the Roman army after our workshop today! We had lots of fun getting to look at and try on the different weapons and equipment. We even learned to march in formation and used our shields to make the tortoise (testudo in Latin). We all really enjoyed this hands-on learning experience, thanks to Joe from The Antonine Guard (TAG) for delivering our workshop and also to parents and families for supporting this!
We had lots of fun today taking part in Sports Relief! We went for a ‘power walk’ around the school and local area before lunchtime. After lunch we took part in a whole-school dance to the official Sports Relief song out on the pitch, some parents even came along to watch too! Then we got to take part in lots of exercise stations in the gym hall. Thank you for all your donations, helping us raise money for a great cause!
We had lots of fun at our recent discos! P2 had fun on Wednesday night and P3 enjoyed theirs on Thursday night. We danced with our friends and played some party games!
Today is World Book Day, and we celebrated by dressing up as a character from our favourite book! There were lots of activities throughout the day, including D.E.A.R time and a costume parade! P3/2 had lots of fun!
 
On Monday we had the opportunity to share some of our learning at assembly. We sang a song all about the Romans and shared some of the interesting things we have learned about the Romans so far.
As part of our PLAY book tasks this week, we made some fantastic Spring creations now that the change of season is nearly upon us! Miss Taylor was so impressed at the effort the boys and girls had put into their tasks; there were some fantastically creative ways of showing some of the changes that happen at Spring time. Have a look at some of our work!
On Friday, boys and girls in Borders house brought in lots of fascinating things to tell us about for their Show and Tell. We had photographs of our pets, fairy doors and favourite teddies. Well done to our Borders pupils for speaking so confidently!
Yesterday, P3/2 celebrated Chinese New Year and the Year of the Monkey! We learned about the customs and traditions Chinese people have at New Year and why they are important. We learned that Chinese people believe red is a very lucky colour, and that sometimes children are given money in a special red envelope to celebrate new year. We looked back to see which year we were born in – most of us were born in the Year of the Rat and the Year of the Ox! We also found out that Beijing is the capital city, and that they have special parades with a Chinese dragon. Have a look at some we made ourselves! Gung Hay Fat Choy!
