We have really enjoyed leanring about money. We know so much more than we did at the start of pur topic. We have added all of our new leanring to share with you.

Primary 3 have been very busy during Scottish month making some fantastic art work.

We made some collage pigeons. We had to draw the pigeons first and then stick on some different coloured crepe paper.

We also made our won kilts. We painted the tartan and then we cut out and attached some black and gold belts-they look amazing.

It was really fun making our little Scottish men. We had to cut all of the Scottish mans outfit out and stick it together, this was another chance for us to design our own tartan.

We learned how to draw a thistle. It was tricky but they turned out great.

Our classroom look fantastic now with all our lovely art work.

Yesterday was Robert Burns day. We celebrate Robert burns on the 25TH January as he was born on the 25th January 1721.

Robert Burns is famous for his poems. We listened to two of his poems toady. We really liked ‘To a mouse’ and we were able to hear the translation of ‘Address to a Haggis’. On Rabbie Burns day people around the world celebrate his life by wearing Scottish clothes, like kilts, and eating Scottish food like Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. People also eat shortbread, we got to try some toast and it was delicious.

This week we baked bread. We had to prepare the bread and Mrs McArthur put it in the oven to bake.

We are going to learn all about money in maths. We were all excited when Miss McGregor told us what our new maths topic was. Miss McGregor could not beleive how much we already knew. We made a mind map to show you what we know and we will make another one to show you what we learn after our money topic.

This week we have been learning about expressions and equations. An equation is when two sums are equal. If the sums are not equal you add the non equal sign.
We learned how to write the non equal sign.
It is an equal sign with a diagonal line through it (Hannah).
We know the greater than sign > and the less than sign 71 (Alfie)

10 < 20 (Joey and Jaeden)

We have been learning how to balance out two sums. If they have the equals sign they must be the same at each side.

53 + 7 = 59 + 1 (Jenna).
