During our Topic lessons, we have been learning about school now and in the past. We have enjoyed learning about the history of Kingsland Primary School.

We enjoyed looking through old pictures of Kingsland and spotted some familiar teachers.

We also created life sized school children and teachers of the past. Here is a picture of some of the girls tracing around Beth.

Primary 3/2

Linked to our Literacy learning, we followed instructions on how to make a fortune teller. We enjoyed playing with this with our friends. We then wrote our own instructions on how to make a fortune teller.

Primary 3/2

In Maths, we have been learning about tessellation (tiling). We explored different shapes to find out if they would fit together with no spaces between. We enjoyed working together and eventually creating a tessellation painting which is displayed on our classroom wall.

Primary 3/2

We have been learning to write instructions. We followed instructions on how to make a kite. We enjoyed creating our kite,using paper, scissors, hole puncher, and a wooden stick. We decorated our kite with colours and patterns and enjoyed testing them outside.  When we came back to class, we wrote our own instructions on how to make a kite.

Here are some pictures of us during the process.

Primary 3/2

During our Health and Well-being lessons we made a breathing buddy. We used paper cups with a hole on the bottom and tissue paper. We enjoyed decorating our breath buddy.  When we breath through our buddies we can see the tissue paper move.

Here is a picture of Evan and his breathing buddy!

We picked Matilda for our door this year. How many books can you see?

Today we had DEAR time. It’s means Drop Everything And Read. We found comfy seats and enjoyed our books. Some of us like reading on our own and some of us like to read with a partner. 

Today we drew roses and squares onto a ceramic tile using permanent pens and Sharpies. We were inspired by the work  of Scottish Artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

We are all thrilled with our awesome art.
