P2/3 Reading Buddies in P6

P2/3 are practising their fluency and expression when reading aloud with their P6 reading buddy. P6 are doing a super job at helping younger pupils to use their reading strategies to read common and tricky words, as well as questioning them about their story. We look forward to our reading times with our buddies!

Primary 3 The Human Body

This week Primary 3 have been learning about the organs in the human body.  We enjoyed looking at a model, taking it apart, putting it back together again and discussing the organs that we recognised. We created graffiti boards of facts we discovered after reading non-fiction books. We also revised the bones in our skeleton by playing a lotto game and creating What Am I? cards. This week children used

Lots of fun in Primary 3

Primary 3 have loved learning about our human bodies. They can name lots of bones and tell you where in the body they are. They enjoyed measuring the humerus, ulna and radius bones in our arms and making shaving foam skeletons, which they labelled with the correct names. It got very messy but was lots of fun! In numeracy, they have been learning lots of the times tables and enjoyed

P3 Healthy Eating

Primary 3 thoroughly enjoyed making fruit kebabs yesterday as part of their Health and Well-Being. They used the bridge technique to cut the banana and strawberries. We have been learning about the different foods that you need to eat as part of a healthy diet, including not five but seven pieces of fruit and vegetables every day!

P3 Visit Dippy

Better late than never. Here are our photos from our trip to visit Dippy at Kelvingrove Museum. We had a great day topped off by measuring ourselves alongside Dippy, we were almost as long as him. A great day had by all!

International Day of Happiness in P3

One of the activities that P3 enjoyed today was writing a letter to someone in the class to tell them what they do to make them feel happy. Children randomly chose a name from the bag, wrote a very carefully thought out letter and put it in an envelope to give to them. Everyone was delighted to read what others thought of them. It certainly put a smile on our

P3 Science Forces

Today Primary 3 brought in a push or a pull toy from home to sort. We realised that lots of our toys use push and pull forces to move in different directions or a different way. We had great discussion sorting some pictures of everyday tasks into whether they are a push or a pull. Some of us still argued that they could be both! We couldn’t prove them wrong.

World Book Day in Primary 3

Primary 3 had a fantastic day celebrating world book day yesterday. We enjoyed dressing as our favourite book characters and sharing stories with our friends. We played a game where we had to guess the book character on our heads by asking good questions. We wrote silly stories by playing a game of consequences, it was very funny reading back the final stories.  Then we all created a monster on

Well done Jonathan and Hannah, a super example of you both leading the learning in our class and teaching others how to play a new game. Well done 👏🏻👍🏻

P3 Outdoor Numeracy

We enjoyed taking our learning out to the playground this morning to practise creating number lines, jumping back in jumps of tens and ones. Some of us also created our own sums using three numbers. It was lovely to be outside on a nice, sunny morning.
