This week in Primary Three Science, our budding Biologists were fascinated to learn all about the major organs inside the human body. We explored what each organ does, and discussed the ways in which we can help to look after them.

As we know that exercise and healthy living are a key part of looking after our bodies, we linked our Science to Taught Writing, where we all created instructions for our own exercise routines.

Next week we look forward to moving on to learning all about Inheritance.

Today we enjoyed exploring an important event happening all over the world – Chinese New Year. We listened to the traditional story of how the Chinese Zodiac came to be, and learned that this year is the year of the Rooster. We also watched videos of different Chinese customs and traditions that happen during the festival, and felt inspired to create our own dragon masks and traditional fans.

We painted our fans red and gold as we learned that those colours symbolise luck, as does the dragon.

Happy New Year!

新年快乐
