This week the house captains organised an event called “Kinda Kiki”. This is because Corrine, from the charity “Finding Your Feet” is aiming to climb at least 56 miles of Mount Kilimanjaro. By Wednesday, P3 had ran the 56 miles, however we kept going and ran 99 miles in total, that’s 693 laps of the school! Our class ran the most miles so Corrine presented us with medals today, we are very proud of our effort.
P3, you are absolute superstars! Out of 2,469 classes entered into the National SUMDOG competition, we came 2nd! What a fantastic achievement. Your ambition to be the best you possibly can be continues to inspire me and I couldn’t be more proud of you! Well done. As a prize, SUMDOG are giving us a free three month reading and writing subscription. We already have access to SUMDOG spelling due to coming 1st in the Renfrewshire competition! I know how much you love the ipads so I’m sure we will make good use of our prize from now until the end of term.
Have a great weekend! Your very proud teacher, Mrs Baird
P3 were energy detectives this morning! We worked our way round 8 stations and observed energy transfer taking place at each one. Our favourite was definitely the station where we got to eat chocolate buttons (chemical energy in food 😀🍫.)
Please ask your child about the different types of energy, the definition of energy and the Law of Conservation of energy. I am sure you will be super impressed with their knowledge 😀
Our Paths coordinator, Kristy, was in P3 today teaching us the importance of Fair Play Rules. Thank you Kristy!
P3 are learning fractions in maths and had great fun playing fraction bingo today #mathsisfun
P3 have been working on their coding skills over the last couple of weeks and are now fabulous Programmers! We have also been learning the correct vocabuarly, e.g. Programmer, Code and Sequence. Your child will be able to tell you the meaning of these words 😀 Here are some pictures of us, as programmers, telling the computer what to do using code and in the correct sequence. We are using apps called Daisy the Dinosaur and Kodable.
Some children want to be programmers when they are older so they can create video games or even send a spaceship to space!
Wow, what a day! Our Careers Fayre was a huge success, thank you so much to all the businesses who gave up their time to speak to the children about their job, the children had a great time and are very much inspired. Well done to the World of Work Pupil Group for organising 😄
We had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day 📚
We had great fun doing the daily mile yesterday. Here we are ready to go!
P3, you are superstars! You were amazing and every single one you shone on that stage, well done! We are very proud of you.
P3 had great fun at their Christmas party. Yummy food, dancing, party games and a visit from Santa.
Merry Christmas!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Kelvingrove last week.
We dressed up, handled Ancient Egyptian artefacts, learned more about mummification and were given time to explore lots of fascinating things in the Ancient Egypt room.
The trip was a lovely end to our Ancient Egyptian topic and really brought the learning to life for the children.
A huge thank you to the parent helpers who accompanied us.
P3 had great fun solving maths word problems today using our CUBES strategy
.
P3….you are little superstars. We answered 29,000 questions on SUMDOG and came first in the Renfrewshire SUMDOG competition. What an amazing achievement, I am super proud of all of you!
Mrs Baird
P3 had an amazing afternoon using all our new kitchen and cooking equipment. We baked lots of yummy cakes for our Christmas Fayre, you are in for a treat 😀
Some quotes from the children:
This is my new favourite thing to do at school!
This was the best afternoon ever!
When can we do it again?
Can I lick the bowl?!
The children in P3 thoroughly enjoyed reading one of the books from their book bag – Bear Spotting. Here are pictures of the children using the story dice from their bags to write a story about their own bears!
Today we made a mummy!
The children in P3 have been thoroughly enjoying our Ancient Egyptician topic, especially this week when we have been learning all about mummification. On Tuesday we learned the steps involved and today we put our new knowledge into practice!
Have a look at our pictures to see the children carrying out all the steps which vary from putting all the internal organs in canopic jars to applying make up and hair!
The children had originally written in their diaries that house colours had to be worn tomorrow for assembly. This has now been amended to shirt and tie. Apologies for the confusion.
Mrs Baird
We had a great time celebrating Modern Languages in school today. The P3 children looked fab in their French colours and those who were presenting at assembly did a fabulous job. The best bit was definitely eating our French Chocolate Crepes in the afternoon 😀
We thoroughly enjoyed netball after school today with the P5s – P7s. We still have a few spaces remaining if anyone would like to come along. If you would, please let the office know, thank you.
Mrs Baird
P3 are loving Maths Week!
The children are thoroughly enjoying using SUMDOG and taking part in all our other activities / challenges.
Today we made our very own alarm clocks 😄 to submit into the Cluster art competition. The children worked really hard creating their clocks and we are super proud of them 😀
P3 enjoying SUMDOG in maths this week 😀
The children have all been given SUMDOG logins which have been glued into the back of their diaries.
SUMDOG is a maths site that we can use at home or in school.
This week we have been set a challenge to compete in a competition with our Cluster Schools as part of Scottish Maths Week.
Could the children login and try to complete ten minutes on SUMDOG each night. We will also be using it in school 😀
Thank you, Mrs Baird
Some of our P3 children showing off their dance moves during Friday Fun. What fantastic little movers we have in P3!
Hello, just a reminder that gym this week for P3 is Mon and Thu, not Mon and Wed. This is only for this week, back to normal next week! Thank you, Mrs Baird.
