Well it’s that time of year again and we are working hard on our Nativity. Today we spent some time reading the true story and worked with a partner on a sequencing activity.

Primary 3 started their work on subtraction today by revising subtraction from 20.

Have a look at our fantastic bluebells which we made with art straws and garden wire.

Primary 3 spent time planting bluebells as part of their local area topic. We look forward to seeing them grow in spring. While we were outside we repaired the Wigloo.

We used our ICT time today to paint poppy pictures for Remembrance Day.

The whole school had a fantastic trip to the Showcase Cinema this morning to see The Lion King. It was part of film week and everyone had a great time. We would like to thank Mrs Glover and Mrs Baxter who came with our class to keep us all safe. Thank you also to Mrs Brown, Mrs Leggatt, our office staff and all parent helpers.

Primary 3 have been working hard this morning on improving their comprehension skills. We worked with a partner to find clues in our texts, make notes and write good quality answers. We know that this will help us understand what we are reading better and will improve our written work. It was also fun working with a different partner today.

We have been getting excited about firework night tomorrow and today we wrote about how to keep yourself safe with sparklers. We then used chalk to draw some amazing firework display pictures this afternoon.

We have had great fun this afternoon as we started our tennis block. We were learning about the ABC of tennis skills which are Agility, Balance and Coordination. The children were fantastic and I think we could be looking at some future Wimbledon stars!

Primary 3 used their taught writing time this week to write instructions for how to make a surprise Halloween box.  After our instructions were written, we had a go at making our own box.  Mr Murray thinks there may even be a treat in our box on Friday because we have been working so hard in class.  Fingers crossed!
