Primary 3 Division

Primary 3 have been learning about dividing by sharing. Here are some photos of us dividing in an everyday situation when we made iced biscuits (and even got to eat them), playing active games and reinforcing our learning playing i-pad games. We are now learning about the relationship between multiplication and division.

STEM Magic Shows

Here are some photos of children in Primary 1, 2, 3 and 4 enjoying a STEM magic show today. The show engaged children in learning about science, technology, engineering and maths through some very clever magic tricks. Children may wish to try out some of their new tricks on adults at home, so beware!

NLC Active Schools Play Festival

Primary 3 had a wonderful afternoon at the active schools play festival. The boys and girls were very well behaved and truly exhausted by the end of the afternoon. The children made lots of new friends playing a range of games from rugby skills to badminton and even some parachute games. Primary 3 were chosen for this treat for showing huge improvements to their behaviour, listening skills and respect for

Primary 3 Investigate Robots

Thank you to our I.C.T. Experts from the I.C.T. leadership academy for demonstrating how to use the i-pad to programme robots. We couldn’t believe how fast they were able to move. We have chosen to use the i-pads at golden time for the rest of this term to allow everyone to have a chance to play and explore with the robots.

Chris Bennett Visit

Primary 3 really enjoyed our visit from Chris Bennett who is a hammer thrower for Scotland and Great Britain. This morning, we went outside and used a trundle wheel to measure the distance Chris can throw the hammer. We can’t believe how far 74.66 metres is! It was a great day!

Primary 2 and 3’s Christmas Party

Primary 2 and Primary 3 had a blast at their Christmas party with party games and prizes! We did pass the parcel, Christmas Corners, The Grand Old Duke of York and even did the conga back to class. Miss Lalmy and Mrs Wilson were amazed at their dancing skills!  Hope you all had a lovely Christmas break and that Santa was good to you?   Ryan – It was amazing

Primary 3 Multiplication

Today we started a new maths topic about multiplication. We were learning how multiplication and addition are friends. We used cubes as buttons on our snowmen to show visually how to multiply by 2 and how this links to addition. Did you know? 2×3=6 so 3×2=6 and 3+3=6 We have learnt so much already!

Science in P3 – Forces

Today we brought in some toys from home to explore the force we used when playing with them. We sorted them into push, pull or both toys then investigated how we could make them move quicker/slower/further away or in a different direction by changing the amount of force we applied to the toy. We finished off the afternoon by playing with play-doh and making examples of push and pull forces
