This week in Primary 3 we have been working hard on health and hygiene. Pupils have created thorough instructions for hand washing and we now have the best hand washers in the school! (probably). We have been experimenting with glitter to show how easily germs can spread and how difficult it is to get some of the germs off, even after a thorough scrubbing. We also used a black light to shine a light on the problem of hand washing and it highlighted the effects of hand washing on hands and made us realise that germs can get in all the nooks and crannies and so making sure to wash everywhere is imperative.
We continued to develop our knowledge of knights and castles with work on how castles have evolved over the years from hill forts right up until the big towering castles that we have all seen and heard of. The pupils have been very inquisitive during our topic and this week was no different with many questions asked and many tangents followed which will hopefully allow them to have a deeper curiosity and understanding of our topic.
We have been continuing to develop our understanding of fractions and across the year group the pupils have so far been very comfortable with the topic. We have continued to work on our measuring skills and will be developing these further over the coming weeks.
