P3/4/5 have been busy. We have been learning about place value, playing place value games and racing to 100. We have also been extending our knowledge of 2D shapes and 3D objects. We have focused on improving our writing through the consistent use of punctuation and learning about compound words and plurals. We are all becoming more independent in using information we have read to answer questions about text. In PE we have been developing our dribbling, passing and shooting skills in basketball and accuracy skills in badminton. During outdoor science we looked at the different materials in our playground and why different materials are used for different purposes. The use of ICT has helped us to develop our typing skills, recall of table facts and the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Through outdoor play we have built positive relationships with our peers.

Learning Gaelic in Primary 3/4/5
Primary 3/4/5 enjoyed learning to say colours in Scottish Gaelic. They played games where they had to listen for the word in Gaelic then run to the flash card of that colour. They also rolled a dice and had to say which colour they had rolled in Gaelic. They also showed that they could read and understand the words for colours in Gaelic. The pupils were very enthusiastic and enjoyed revising the vocabulary.
