We made patterned hot air balloon, some of us used chalk, some of us used pen and some of us used collage. They look amazing.

We also made persuasive posters to advertise the picnic; we had to make it sound really interesting.

As we have been looking at speech this week we made a conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Grinling. We used speech bubbles to show what they were saying.

Lastly we made tasty menus to show everyone what food what the picnic.

We really liked this book and we even got to play drama games after reading it.

We have been very busy learning more about time. Here are some of the facts that we know now.

Today we got to do PE outside. It was great fun. We were revising our balances and jumps and working with a partner to mirror each other’s actions. Miss McGregor was so impressed with how hard we worked we were allowed to play some team games with the parachute. We hope the sun stays for the rest of the Primary 3!

Today we looked at time. It is the first time we have looked at in it P3 and Miss McGregor was very impressed. We learned how to tell o’clock and half past on an analogue clock. We made our own times on small clocks and then we each drew a clock outside to make either an o’clock time or half past.

Here are some of the facts that we found out.

We also looked at quarter to and quarter past. We know that the clock face is a circle and can be split into quarters-Kyle and Violet

In maths we have been working on subtraction chimney sums. They were a bit more difficult this time because we had to exchange. This is when we have to take a bigger number from a smaller number in the units column. We can’t do this so we need to exchange 1 ten for 10 units. We have been working on the sums on paper, the smart board and outside using chalk. We are getting better at them each time and we are looking forward to doing some more of these sums next week.

It was hard setting the sums out-Calum H

We all enjoyed it-Kyle

It was tricky at first but then we managed to do it-Hannah

It was fun-Jaeden

You had to exchange the number and change the ten number-Robyn

It was very confusing at first-Christie

Some of us made silly mistakes with the answers so we need to work on our take away sums-Aaron

Now we know subtractions with exchanging-Paul

We managed to do all the sums-Eva

I feel happy because we got it right-Alfie

Here are the sums we did outside.

Today was special day because there was an eclipse. This is when the moon travels in front of the sun blocking some of the sunlight. It was very cloudy today so we didn’t go outside but we got to watch it on the IWB. This let us see it very clear and we were able to watch the full eclipse.

It was great fun; I have never seen anything like that-Joey

It was interesting-Aaron

It changed colours-Harris

We have been learning all about infrmation handling in P3. We have looked at differnet types of graphs and how we can use them to sort information. Here is a Venn diagram that P3 created on the IWB about the length of out names. We put all the anmes with less than 5 letters in ths circle and all the names with not less than 5 letters in the square, this part is called the universe.

We have been learning all about medicine and staying healthy.

Medicine stops you feeling unwell. It comes in different flavours. Your doctor will give you a prescription that you take to the pharmacy for your medicine, although some medicines can be bought from a chemist or supermarket.

Always take the correct dosage of medicine (dosage means the amount that you have to take and how often that you have to take it).

We know that medicine is a drug that a doctor gives you-Alfie

Don’t say that you need medicine if your not unwell-Joey

We know that we must stay healthy-Jenna

We might get medicine if we are unwell-Kyle

Medicine can be tablets, liquids, creams or sprays-Paul

You must read the label on medicine-Jaeden

Some medicines might look like sweets-Eva

Don’t drink medicines when you are fine-Elle

If you drink medicine when you’re not well you might get worse-Calum H

Don’t take adults pills-Ashton

Make sure you take the right amount at the right time-Melanie Grace

If your really unwell you have to go to the hospital-Abigail

Read how much you have to take before you take any-Hannah

If it looks like a sweet and you don’t know what it is then don’t take it-Violet

If you take too much you might become unwell-Aaron
