Creating a rainforest in P3B
As part of their rainforest topic, P3B were given the challenge to create a rainforest in their classroom. We looked at many pictures or rainforests and thought about the different layers and which animals live there. Pupils were then divided into groups to create the rainforest. One group had to create the forest floor, one group were making animals, one group were making the understory and smaller trees and the final group were making the canopy and emergent layer. All pupils displayed creativity skills are were able to work as a team to create the class rainforest.
Roots of Empathy – Primary 3A
Primary 3A are currently enjoying the Roots of Empathy programme. They have had visits from Baby Jack since last year and have watched him grow. Every three weeks they enjoy seeing what new things he is able to do.He is a very happy baby and loves when the children pay him attention and sing to him. There is always great excitement in the class when they know it is visit day. Roots of Empathy is a programme devised for primary children which allows them to develop their awareness of the needs of a baby. They have enjoyed learning about sleep patterns, communication and mood.
Easter Chicks at Boghall!
P3B loved having their chance to hold the baby chicks last week. The chicks were at Boghall as part of the living eggs project. The unhatched eggs are delivered and are kept in an incubator in school. Everyone can then log in and follow their progress on glow in school and from home. Many pupils watched as some of the chicks hatched. After a few days, each class gets the chance to have the chicks visit their classroom and everyone has the chance to hold a chick. Pupils were taught how to hold the chicks safely and they had lots of questions about what happens to the chicks and Rory asked “Where does the mum who laid the eggs live?” We can’t wait until next year when more chicks will hatch at Boghall!
