We need your help to answer our questionnaire!
We have been very busy learning lots of information about our local area and are coming to an end of our topic however before we do we need your help!
We have been working with our partners to come up with some questionnaires and have put them together. We would really like if you could spare 5 minutes to fill in our questionnaire about Chryston.
All of these questions were created by us. We did check over our work and found a few that didn’t make much sense…you will see what we mean when you complete it. Â We thought it would be funny to leave them because we had a good giggle at them and we hope you do too.
Thank you for taking the time to fill it in for us and we look forward to looking at your responses.

Primary 3 Homework 10
Exploring our local area, Chryston and Muirhead
Primary 3 went out on a local walk on Wednesday 3rd February 2016. We went in the afternoon and were very lucky with the weather. Mrs McCrae and Mrs McLoone also came with us. We were walking for almost an hour and our feet were sore when we got back to school. We went on the walk because we have been learning about Chryston and Muirhead as part of our topic this term.
We were also on a shape hunt because we have been learning to describe 2D shapes in maths.
Here are some of the things we learned –
Andrew – We learned that down the road near Chryston there was a place that was a cinema years and years ago.
Dionne – We also went into partners and we took the ipads too to take pictures.
Nieve – We went on a shape hunt to find different 2D shapes.
Ryan – We went a walk around Chryston to learn more facts about Chryston because our local area is our topic.
Connor – I found out that the toll cottage used to be a place where you had to pay to get into Chryston.
Niamh – I found the church and rectangles.
Mya – We found out that (many years ago) in the park there was a pond so that the horses could have a drink.
Craig – I found out where the Nicholson center was.
This is the building where the cinema used to be. The films were silent and someone used to play the piano.
This is the Toll Cottage where people used to have to pay to get into Chryston many years ago.
