Halloween fun
Primary 3 enjoyed a fun Halloween afternoon. Pupils played the Witches Soup game, dooked for apples, made creepy biscuits, had some colouring fun and enjoyed some Halloween treats.
Our patterns
We have been working hard to create different repeating patterns and exploring how shapes can make a tiling pattern. We also created wonderful weaving patterns.
Term 2
Primary 3 have made a great start to term 2. Pupils have been setting their personal targets for this term. In maths we have begun to extend our learning in counting and using money, along with our Big Maths programme.
Children have been using our imagination to write stories and we have also created Autumn themed poems. Â We are beginning to learn how to write a report.
Lambs lugs
Jamie brought in the interesting plant he grew at home. The leaves are soft and fluffy, just like lambs lugs.
3D shape
We have been exploring the properties of 3D shapes and have been working on patterns. We have been creating weaved patterns using repeating colours.
Primary 3 plant investigation
We have been carrying out a scientific investigation exploring what plants need to grow. Â This has involved careful planning and team work.
We were surprised at the results.
Outdoor Learning
On this lovely autumn morning primary 3 have been busy outdoors. We started by adding to our compost pile and look for worms. We then set up our pots for our What Plants Need to Grow investigation. Following break time we went into the Nature garden to explore the patterns of bark on tree trunks, each pupil made a bark rubbing and leaf rubbing for a tree of their choice. This afternoon pupils will be taking part in bike ability and we will be exploring 2D and 3D shape in our playground.
