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.
We have been learning about keeping safe in the kitchen as part of our Health and Wellbeing lessons this term. We have learned about safe and hygienic food preparation, storage and cooking.
All three classes enjoyed a visit from Mrs MacIntyre who taught us about germs and the importance of keeping our hands clean. She used a special light that showed up the germs on our hands before and after washing them. She also brought her cuddly germ friend to tell us that not all germs are bad germs.
Thank you Mrs MacIntyre.
Primary 2 – Primary 7 should hand in decorated eggs to the school on Wednesday 23rd March. A chocolate easter egg for 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be presented.
The Amazon Rainforest is coming alive in room 8. We are working very hard everyday making the layers of the rainforest. Primary 3 are having so much fun!!
Two more layers to go!
The Junior Choir have been working hard to learn some Scottish songs to sing at the Burns Competition on Friday. Here is their version of an old song, “Glasgow Underground.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
