P3 would like to thank all the parents and carers who came along to support our Learning Breakfast. We enjoyed sharing pancakes, fruit and juice in the dinner hall. Then we took our visitors to our class where we were sharing how we use online games on Educationcity to help us with our learning.
We all had a great time.
On Thursday 26th September, Primary 3 are hosting a learning breakfast. We would like to share breakfast with parents and carers from 9am in the dinner hall, then we will visit our class. 
We will show you how we access our school blog, and education city games. We hope you are able to join us.
This has been a very short week, but we have been working hard on our Wizard of Oz topic. We made red, sparkly Dorothy shoes and it was fun. (Chloe)
We have discovered an interesting fact about Dorothy’s shoes. Her shoes were silver in the book, but they were red in the movie. (Summer) We have been writing character descriptions of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Scarecrow.
We have made a model Lion and a model Dorothy for the class. We are working on the Scarecrow and the Tin Man.
This week we have been reading The Wizard of Oz in class. We have been writing about the story. In art, we have been using a variety of different textures of paper to create some of the characters. We have also started to create large class models of the characters in the story.
We have been working all week on our school values. The focus this week has been on the value RESPECT. We are designing a Respect mascot and we have made up actions to the song R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
We had lots of visitors in school Friday for our Values Day. It was great having so many parents and carers visiting our class.
We had lots of fun activities including a values snakes and ladders game, a compliments game, dominoes and design the mascot. We were also challenging ourselves to log onto Educationcity on the laptops.
We have had a very busy start to our new school year. We have been learning all about our P3 class and our new friends. We have been playing some getting to know you games. We have drawn pictures of ourselves looking great in our new school uniforms.
This term, PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays – shorts, tee-shirts and no earrings on PE days please.
We have had a fantastic time at the fun day. First we had a games challenge in our class. We were working with a partner and had lots of games to try.
Then we went to Zumba outside and we enjoyed beating with the drum sticks best.
Then we moved inside to the inflatable assault course. It was great fun, but very tiring.
This week in ICT we have been learning simple coding. We have been using instructions to move through a maze. We are also learning how to look carefully at the code and spot mistakes, then fix them. This is called debugging. We have been working with a partner – 2 heads are better than 1 when solving a problem. It is great fun!
When it was warm and sunny, we were challenging ourselves on the trim track.
We’ve been learning about different instruments in music this week. We were listening to Peter and the Wolf, and while we were listening we were trying to identify the different instruments. We had the opportunity to handle a flute, a clarinet, a violin and a drum in class. We made a lot of noise with the drum. It was funny to feel the violin when it was making a note as it vibrated.
We have been learning about acronyms – words which are made using initials of other words, and our focus has been about reading and encouraging others to read.
We are going to print some, and put them on display around our classroom.
