In Art Primary 3 have been learning about Primary colours and how we can mix them to make Secondary colours.
We first spent a couple of weeks making many different shades of green, orange, purple and brown.
To reinforce our learning we painted a Shetland Scene using only mixed colours.
This quite tricky as colour mixing can take a while, but I think you’ll agree the class have done extremely well to manage the challenge.
Well done p3!
This term we are improving our leadership skills in the playground. We aim to learn new playground games and teach them to the primary 1 and 2 pupils. Jennifer, from Active Schools, is helping us learn new games and showing us good leadership skills. Today we learned how to play Aeroplane Tig and Dragon’s Nest. 
This week we have been learning about Venn Diagrams. With the nice weather, we went outside to sort items. We used hula hoops to create our diagram and we wrote our categories in chalk to help us sort items outside. We have lots of fun creating our own categories and exploring the grounds to sort items.
Have a look at our curriculum information for term 4, to find out about all the exciting things we will be learning this term.
In Art Primary 3 have been doing a design project learning about designing and creating their own hat/headdress.
Throughout this project, we have been learning how to research and come up with different designs, which we then evaluated to decide on the best idea.
We then got the basic structure made and decorated it with lots of different materials. Lots of fun was had exploring the materials and choosing the best ones to create our designs.
The final results were amazing!!! Well done P3
This term our topic has been Healthy Bodies.
Over the last two weeks we rounded off our knowledge of healthy bodies with some visits from health professionals.
Angela from ChildSmile came in to talk to us about how to keep our teeth healthy. We learned about the importance of brushing, healthy diets and regular check ups.
Gemma, our school nurse, came in to talk to us about the importance of cleanliness. We learned about germs, the impact they can have on our bodies and how to limit the spread through handwashing. 
We had the most amazing time experiencing Up Helly Aa this year, embracing our Shetland culture.
Alongside 3A we travelled to the street to watch the morning procession. We joined in with the excitement; cheering and singing. We even got a brilliant view of the Jarl’s presentation as he passed the Albert Building and the Lerwick Port Authority. We ended our trip with a fantastic view of this years galley and watched as the Jarl Squad got their photos.
On return to school we had the delights of seeing both the Junior and Senior Jarl squads in the gym hall. We sang with delight and saw their outfits up close.

In art, we have been learning how to form clay to make pinch pots. Once we had formed the shape of our pot, we then decorated it to turn into a little candleholder.
Have a look at what exciting things we will be learning about this term.
