We’ve been working on our number bonds to 20 in term 1. Testing each other and seeing how many we can find. 

We have been learning lots about mini beasts, we all had the chance to try on some Bee Keeping suits and look at some equipment used in keeping bees. We especially loved trying honey.

Primary 3 Loved seeing and meeting the Vikings during the Scalloway Fire Festival. We all admired the work that went into each and every costume. We remembered what we had seen to inspire some descriptive writing.   

Primary 3 have been learning about colours in French, we took a poll to see what everyone’s favourite colours were, all in French!

Primary 3 are having an excellent start to their year, we’ve begun a new writing program and are working very hard on including different openers into our writing.

We’re also learning about Shetland, where it is in the world and about what makes it so special.

We’ve had a wonderful visit from  Lily’s dad Richard, who came in to tell us about Shetland and its wildlife and his job helping with wildlife filming.

In maths we are working hard on our number,  numbers before and after, larger and smaller and numbers within 1000.  We’re also learning about place value and how this can help us to add and subtract easily in  10’s, 100’s and beyond.

The class have also enjoyed Show and Tell, we’ve had a tornado in a bottle and a volcano! We really enjoyed these and loved seeing how the experiments worked.

Hello everyone,  here’s the curriculum overview for term 3. Have a look through it and see all the things we will be learning this term.

Hello Primary 3,

I hope you are enjoying  all the snow!  If you are looking for something else to do, have a little look at this learning grid.  There are some games and activities you may like to try if you have a chance.

Have a lovely time at home and I will hear how you’ve been doing when we’re back at school.

Ms Edwards.

We enjoyed a visit form the Jarl squad on Friday, what a lot of time and effort has gone into their costumes. We all got to look at them in detail and to try on the helmets, shields and axes. Alina is in it this year and we were all so pleased to see her in the galley and with the squad.

Term 2!

We’ve been very busy with STEM this term and had a stem challenge with primary 4 to build the tallest tower. We’ve also learned about acids, bases, alkalis and inertia.

Our weather topic is going really well, we’ve learnt about sun safety, wind, extreme weather, the water cycle and about weather reporting. We’ve even had Bob (AKA the Gulberwick weatherman) in to talk about  predicting the weather!

We also had a special visitor in our class on Children in Need day.  He joined us for a little dance.
