In STEM Primary 3 have been learning all about the human body. Today we carried out an experiment to see how the lungs work. We worked in groups to apply our STEM skills. Have a look!

P3 visit to the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre
Primary 3 took a trip to the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre to take part in a Fairy Tales workshop as part of their Knights and Castles topic and what a fantastic trip it was!
They got to see lots of armour, use their imagination to climb a beanstalk, fight dragons and dress up to make stories of their own. It really was a superb learning opportunity allowing the children to make links across the curriculum and develop their story telling skills!
Have a look at their wonderful experiences!
We Love Learning in Primary 1
‘We love to go outside and learn’ – Ava
The boys and girls enjoyed going outside and writing their cvc words.
‘We went on a common word hunt’ – Ross
Measure
The children have been learning to measure the length of objects using cubes, paperclips and giants feet.
‘We used scales to weigh objects’ – Ethan
The boys and girls chose an object for one side of the scale and then put cubes in the other side until they ‘balanced’. It was great fun!
World Book Day
Primary 1 really enjoyed taking part in ‘munch and read’ in the classroom on World Book Day.
World Book Day
All of the boys and girls put in so much effort dressing up as their favourite character. Throughout the day the children took part in activities in their classrooms and then had the opportunity to take part in a ‘Where’s Wally’ scavenger hunt in the playground. Here are some of the highlights.
Some children made diorama’s with their families of their favourite scene from a book.
P3 Celebrates World Book Day
Primary 3 had a fantastic day today! They took part in lots of wonderful activities such as creating book marks for our competition, going on a ‘Where’s Wally’ hunt in the playground and creating magical stories using props from our dress up box which the other classes loved! Why not take a look!

P1 Learning Journey
We haven’t posted on our blog page in a while as we have been so busy with our learning. Have a look at our learning journey over the last couple of weeks.
Language
The boys and girls have been developing their ability to construct proper sentences by building sentences with individual words, writing about pictures, sequencing a sentence and copying it. Well done Primary 1.
We are so lucky to new ipads in school. The boys and girls were using the ipads to reinforce their ability to identify words that rime.
Olivia is so proud of herself – she completed a wordsearch for the first time on her own. She found all of the cvc words.
We were learning all about ‘prediction’ this week using the book ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ by Julia Donaldson. The boys and girls got to look at the front cover and they were using all the information from that to predict what it was the ladybird heard. Some wonderful predictions.
Maths
As part of our work on time we have been learning about the seasons. We focussed on Summer and Winter this week. The boys and girls had to sort clothes and items.
Ethan was sorting sums that were ‘true’ or ‘false’. He used his number line to check if the answer was correct or not – fantastic work Ethan.
Kayla is so happy – look at all of her sums. She used a number line to add 2 numbers together and recorded her answers on a whiteboard.
The boys and girls LOVE playing ‘number stealer’
Topic – Fairyland
The children have been learning about Goldilocks and the 3 bears. They made their own split pin bears. They also sequenced the story and made their own zig zag book.
Tooth Fairy vs Tooth Scary
The talented Mr Bissett has written his very own book about looking after our teeth. The children in Primary 1 LOVED hearing the story and looking at the wonderful illustrations. At the end they drew their favourite character from the book.
Burnbrae Nursery visit P1 for Burns Day
A few of the children from Burnbrae Nursery visited the P1 classroom today to take part in a Burns Day activity. The children had great fun making their own Burns Supper plates and they even enjoyed a bit of shortbread at the end.
