Happy New Year from everyone in Primary 3! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the holidays.
Primary 3 have been working with Mrs Hillan at the start of this week and we enjoyed sharing how we spent our Christmas holidays. We had a Circle Time and took turns to share the things we had done over the holidays as well as anything exciting we did on Christmas Day or New Year. This was a good opportunity to refresh our memories of the 4 skills from our Skills 4.0 document, focusing on Social Intelligence, using communication and being aware of our own feelings and the feelings of others. It was lovely to share what a wonderful time we all had!
We began reading the story of Greyfriar’s Bobby as a class. The children have done a super job of recalling the story so far and we have created our own versions of the cover of the book including something we heard about in the story so far. Some children chose to draw Bobby up in the Pentland Hills when he first ran away and met his new owner, Auld Jock. Others chose to draw Bobby following Jock to Edinburgh and visiting the busy city. The children came up with lots of options to choose from.
Primary 3 also revisited our Number Talks in Numeracy this week by finding out how many ways we could make the number 5. The children were keen to share all the different ways they found. Some pupils used addition skills, some used subtraction skills and a number of them used multiplication. There were a few children who even included all 3 skills in one sum!
Mrs Hillan has been very impressed with Primary 3 and looks forward to continuing to work with them whilst Mrs Buntin is absent. Well done P3, keep up the good work!
