Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A welcome return to thy Primary 3s! We hath begun our topic of Knights and Castles and verily we hath created a year group full of the bravest of knights. We hath looked at the peasantry and nobility and hath created splendid portraits of our pupils as noble lords and ladies. We hath looked at the insides of castles and how castle were built, what makes a castle and who lived in them. The pupils hath made names for themselves as ‘Brave, Defenders, Powerful and Courageous’ and we look forward to creating adventures for our knights throughout the topic.
We have also given oot the Scot’s Poems fir oor Burn’s Poetry reading topic. Pupils wir given a chance to hear the poems read oot loud, with some very questionable Scottish accents by Mr Woodward, and wir given their choice of poem. This will be worked on in class but we also ask that they are encouraged to learn their poems at hame as they will be performing them in front of their own class. Those who would like to can also learn them to be put forward for the school’s Burn’s Poetry competitions.
We have started learning about fractions and the pupils have so far coped very well. We have been looking at splitting shapes up into parts, shading in those parts and asking what fraction has been shaded. Pupils have been comfortable in discussing and completing these challenges and are ready to get into more detail with further fraction work.
