P3 Spelling Strategies

Primary 3 have been using a range of spelling strategies to help them learn their common words. A favourite has been writing the word on your partner’s back and asking them to guess the word. Another has been writing a mnemonic to help remember the order of the letters. Learning the shape of the word, including discussing the tall and short letters has helped picture the words in their heads.

“Who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?”

Primary 3 have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the traditional tale of The Three Billy Goats Gruff through drama. Look at these ferocious trolls and happy, confident goats as they retold the story through: still images,  movement, voice production and creating a conscience alley. Children had to explore the conscience of the troll, will he eat the goats or won’t he? Such a hard decision!

Science Fun in P3

Primary three had a brilliant afternoon today learning how a solid can change into a liquid. The best part was holding a chocolate coin in our hands whilst we read a long poem about chocolate. We discovered how the heat from our hands had melted the solid chocolate turning it into melted chocolate, a liquid. Licking our hands afterwards was a real treat. Don’t worry mums and dads,  we washed
