P3 Weekly Highlights

Thank you to all the parents  who were able to make it along on Friday to receive their Book Bug Bags and to see the children working on different literacy and numeracy activities related to the books for Scottish book week.    I hope you all enjoy reading the stories and using your playing cards at home.

In topic we have been learning about ‘The Inuit’ and the Inukshuk, the singular of inuksuit, means “in the likeness of a human” in the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is “Someone was here” or “You are on the right path.”

In Art we designed our own Inuksuit.

P3 Weekly Update

It has been another fantastic week in Primary 3 with lots of amazing learning.

In Science, we have been learning about our senses and in particular ‘sight’.  We have been using magnifying glasses to look at different objects and we’ve discovered that they make objects bigger.
