Mrs Bannister set up a lovely peerie space for World Book Day a few weeks ago.  The children absolutely loved it and it was such a peaceful place to sit and read.  Hopefully we can set something like this up again!

We have been learning about that circulatory system.  We used tennis balls and water as the ‘heart’ and ‘blood’.  We squeezed the tennis balls to act as the heart beating and the water dripping acting as the blood transporting to the rest of the body.

We made red and blue play dough with Mrs Bannister! Then we used it to model the circulatory system – the heart, veins and arteries in the body.

We also used the play dough to make models of the heart! We learned about the different valves we have in the heart that takes the blood and oxygen around the body.

We had yummy pancakes for pancake day! We also watched Paddington making a ‘pan cake’.

P3/4 got to do a few table tennis sessions with Chris and Joan. They all thoroughly enjoyed it and they were all able to learn how to hold the bat, serve the ball and hit it back and forth to each other. They showed great listening and enthusiasm throughout each session!

This was the Cunningsburgh Got Talent show at the start of term 3. We had some brilliant performers from primary 3/4. All the bairns were confident and worked hard during the lead up to the show!

Here is a picture from our first day back in term 2. Hope everyone had a great holidays! Excited to be back in p3/4 😁

Today we had some fun celebrations for Halloween. We made Witches Potion, skeleton pictures and did a lot of Just Dances!

We have two slots of free play built into everyday which the children love as it gives them time to use all of our resources in and out of the classroom. With the sunny weather we have been trying to get outside very afternoon, they love colouring outside and using the chunky chalk. The blocks and small world toys in our room are also a big hit for everyone! They come up with so many cool ideas, we have had ‘An anything hall’, A pizza shop and a job centre all made in the block area so far this year😃
 

This was our 3rd STEM challenge where the pupils had to use spaghetti & marshmallows to make a structure that could stand up on its own. This was great fun and they all tried really hard! All of the structures were so different from each other which made it really interesting to discuss as we could speak about which shapes/designs held up the best. There is a few videos of the pupils telling us about their designs.

This was our second STEM challenge where the children had to make boats out of tinfoil! The aim was for the boat to hold as many marbles as possible. The winning team ended up having to have a lot more put on their boat as it was just not going down!! Afterwards, we spoke a lot about size/shape and how it affected the strength of each boat.
