This has been a busy week for us yet again topic wise. We have learned how to become a knight in the Medieval Times and learned that the process started at age seven! Our ages! We couldn’t believe how many chores and responsibilities they had at our age in order to prove themselves before becoming a squire, then eventually a knight.
We began making our own life-size pictures of knights and look forward to finishing them off to provide guards for our castle and classrooms.
In Science, we were introduced to the term ‘forces’ and were investigating types of forces, whether it be push, pull, twist or bend. We will investigate the forces involved with magnets next week.
We had our poetry competitions and MR Woodward and myself were blown away by the calibre of recitals this year for P3. The confidence shone from the children and every last child made an attempt to learn their poem. Thank you for helping your child learn these as it is an important part of the Scottish Curriculum. We have our annual poetry competition today as well so it is exciting times!
Child Smile were in this week checking our teeth and explaining to us the effects of sugar on our teeth in every day foods we may eat.
Miss Smith was shocked to learn that one packet of Drumstick Squishes had the equivalent of 33 sugar cubes in them! She’s put off for life!
