In Primary 3 this week we have been getting into the spirit of Chinese New Year that began last Saturday. We spent a part of Monday afternoon creating decorative Chinese lanterns that were decorated and then taken home Tuesday. This also formed the basis of our writing for this week in which the pupils were tasked with writing up how to make the lanterns as part of our instructional writing topic, so hopefully now they have made them and have created their instructions they can teach everyone at home how to make them too!
We have also been looking at the Knight’s Code of Chivalry, asking ourselves what character traits were important for being a knight. Pupils linked how we live our lives today to how the knights lived and there were some interesting similarities. The pupils created some very unique dramas to show off their chosen part of the code and more than one had quite barbaric endings, no mercy was shown!
We have also wrapped up our germ topic with the discovery that bread can go incredibly mouldy when touched by a whole class and left for a while, needless to say the bread was disgusting and showed perfectly the importance of hygiene, especially around food!
A huge well done to the four members of P3 who recited their poems in front of the school on Monday, they were absolutely amazing and showed such confidence to perform in front of such a big audience, well done Taylor, Frazer, Poppy and Grace!
