In Primary 3 this week we started off our Tuesday on a delicious note as it was pancake day! The pupils got a chance to try out some homemade pancakes and a huge thank you must go to Mrs McMillan for her fantastic pancake skills.
We have reached chapter 2 of our story books now with P3 showing some very nice description to set the scene and describe what’s going on in their towers before the ominous knock on the door. They worked hard to add great description and have produced some very good stories so far! In keeping with this theme we have also painted their dragon eyes that will eventually go on the cover of their books. They look very vibrant and colourful and it is clear to see the care and enjoyment that the pupils have put into creating them!
In topic we continued our exploration of punishments and prison life in the medieval ages with an exploration of some of the more creative punishments from the time. Pupils were given pictures and had to try and figure out what each of their pictures were used for. These ranged from stocks, to a dungeon to the much more gruesome thumb screws. During the discussions of what the items could be there were some very creative ideas of how to use each of the pieces of equipment!
Our class trip to Stirling Castle is on Tuesday so please ensure all children arrive at school promptly and if anyone is yet to do so the trip letters must be handed in before your child is allowed to go on the trip.
World Book Day is Thursday the 5th March, pupils are encouraged to bring in their favourite book on this day and there will be some in school activities through the course of the day.
