here are some pictures of our storytelling sessions with Ben. We had so much fun developing our creativity and storytelling skills.

We have been learning about fractions and understand that it is like dividing.

We have also been learning how to make different charts. First we had to do a survey and used our answers to make a bar graph and pie chart using excel on the computer.

We we made empire biscuits in class and enjoyed eating them at snack time. It was super easy to do, maybe we could show you how to make them at home.

P3 were learning about ART SCIENCE. Exploring 4 types of paper to see which flies best. They learned about using light, medium and hard pencil markings in art. They learned about gravity and thrust, lift and drag. Please ask your child to tell you about it. Thank you

P3 had lots of fun in the mud kitchen pulling Mrs Mc Fadden down the hill on a plastic sheet, rolling tyres and playing football.

P3 went to hunt for bugs in the garden.

Yesterday P3 worked together to make and decorate fairy cakes for their playtime snack. They followed the instructions correctly and the cakes turned out great.

This morning we watched a short film. It was paused and we then had to predict what happened next.

The film was called High Diving Giraffes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nPrWo5pEvyk
