Primary 2 and 3 art class had lots of fun this week experimenting with blowing, spraying and dripping paint to create a Jackson Pollock inspired piece of artwork. We are looking forward to seeing the end product!

Measuring fun in the sun!
Primary 3 enjoyed learning about metres and centimetres. We ventured out into our gardens and measured things in the garden that measured less than one metre. We then moved onto finding things in the garden that were longer than one metre. Well done Primary 3!
Classes of Rainforest Animals
Primary 3 are learning about classes of animals. The children had fun grouping different animals into reptiles, mammals, birds, amphibians, insects and fish. They worked so well together and used their previous knowledge to help them. Well done!
Fruity Friday Winners- Primary 3
Primary 3 were the first winners of Fruity Friday. We brought in the most healthy snacks for the month of February. We enjoyed preparing and eating a variety of different fruits. We had bananas, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and tangerines. Some children tried fruit that they had never eaten before. Primary 3 had a lovely time in the kitchen.
There’s a rainforest in Primary 3.
Primary 3 working hard!
The Rainforest
The children learned all about the layers of the rainforest. We can name and identify all the layers with confidence. We will be learning about the animals who live in each layer.
Badminton
The class had fun using the net for the first time today. A lot of the children found it challenging to hit the shuttlecock over the net but they know that with lots of practise they will get better!
Portraits
The children learned how to draw a face and we chose a friend to draw. The class had lots of fun drawing their friend. Some of the drawings were so good that we could identify who they were.
Multiplication
The children enjoyed using pasta shapes to help them find out the answers to the 4 times table.
Multiplication in P3.
Primary 3 have been learning about multiplication. We used cubes to help us sort the numbers into groups. We worked well and learned a lot.
Ready Steady Cook Challenge- P3
In the kitchen this morning some children from P3 prepared and made a Moroccan Potato Salad. The children experienced chopping potatoes, cutting parsley and making their own vinaigrette.
Then all the children had a taste and the majority of the children enjoyed the salad but a few children didn’t like the red onion.
Mrs Martin joined us afterwards and had a taste and she was very impressed. She was very surprised to hear that we made our own vinaigrette and she absolutely loved our potato salad.
Winter Trees by Primary 3
Today in in class the children used chalk and pastels to create these wonderful winter tree pictures. The children enjoyed blending the chalk and charcoal with their fingers. Super effort.
Writing Santa letters in Primary 3.
During taught writing today, Primary 3 wrote letters to Santa. The class really enjoyed this writing activity and their letters were fantastic! We paid close attention to our core targets and remembered to include capital letters and full stops in all sentences.
As as you can see the children are very proud of their letters. Super effort boys and girls.
