On a few occasions this term P3 have stopped to think about what we need to make things work.
You may remember our world toilet day video, which led to an interesting discussion about how water gets into the taps, and why it is easier to make mobile phones work than toilets (except in Aberlour!).
This week, we thought about what is needed to make Santa work, and then turned our creativity to designing a new sleigh. I think Santa would be very pleased to use any of these designs next week!
Primary three have been learning about their brains this term.
Although school is all about harnessing and building our natural talents, we don’t often stop to think about what it means to think, or how to do this better.
We started off by exploring a real brain (at least, Mr K said it was real, but the children soon rumbled that his brain was a cauliflower!).
We moved on to learning about three crucial parts of the brain. Here the children explain what they are, and what they do…
We have started deliberately tuning into our own mental state, through mindful awareness, to help us control it. This has helped us to focus on individual senses. This week, we thought about listening mindfully.
Next term, we will continue our work on using our senses mindfully and will start to apply this awareness to our learning in school more generally.
Thank you to everyone who was able to come to visit the P3 stall on Saturday. Our stallholder looks justly proud!
Thanks to your generosity, we raised over £50 for school funds.
It has been a busy week in Primary Three. Nativity practice and Christmas crafts have taken a lot of energy and time, and we can’t wait to show mums & dads what we have been making, at Saturday’s Christmas Fayre!
We took a moment during the week to think about St Andrew, and watched this short clip. This led to the interesting of question of why the year is called “2015”, when we know from our dinosaurs topic that the earth is a lot older…
Next week, we have our last swimming lesson of the term, and continue with afternoon nativity rehearsals.
