P3 would like to thank everyone for supporting our Biscuit and Blether that we co-hosted with P3/2 this morning.
We had a great time, sharing our stories with our friends and family.

During the week, we made our lollipop stick book characters with Mrs Mackie – don’t they look great?

Throughout today, we had to Drop Everything And Read (D.E.A.R.) whenever we heard the bell ring 3 times – Mrs Stewart loved the opportunity to sit down for ten minutes and lose herself in her book!

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Reading! 🙂

For writing this week we revised VCOP and designed our own mythical creatures. We then wrote a character description of our mythical creature.

We have also teamed up with P4 to play Benchball in prepartion for the Primay 4 tournament in the Partnership Centre on Wednesday 13th March.

Have a lovely weekend

We have had a busy and exciting week in class.

We have been learning lots about the importance of Fairtrade this week. We have watched films and learned about Fairtrade cotton and how some of our clothes can be Fairtrade. We learned that cotton originally comes from plants. We have learned about the history (and future) of chocolate and look forward to sharing this with you during our class assembly next Friday!

Over the past few days we have learned the rules of bench ball and will be taking part in a tournament at the partnership centre on the 13^th March. We are enjoying our practises so far.

We enjoyed beginning a new arty topic with Miss Adam and look forward to seeing how our pictures turn out.

We hope you have a spectacular weekend!

On Friday 8th March we are inviting everyone to dress up or dress down. Come to school dressed up as a book character or wear non uniform to school on Friday 8th March to finish our world book day celebrations. No donation is required.

Next Thursday the children will be participating in a range of activities related to books and reading to celebrate World Book Day. They will also be asked to turn a lollipop into a book character, learning tips on how to be a good reader and writer and listening to stories. The Junior Librarians will be sharing stories in the playground at lunchtime. The theme for this years World Book Day is “share a story”.

Every child will receive a £1 book token which can be used towards the purchase of a book or can be used to buy one of the special world book day books. Book tokens can be used from Thursday 28th February. World book day books are sold in book shops and supermarkets.

It has been a short but smashing week in P4!

We wrote about our exciting long weekend news and practised writing in paragraphs.

We have started learning about our new mini topic, Fairtrade. We have made some posters to advertise Fairtrade products and would like to invite you all to our Fairtrade assembly in two weeks time on the 8^th March.

We joined up with P5/4 and P5 to do some problem solving and calculate how much money we raised during our Scottish Celebration evening! Thank you to everybody who helped and donated. We are continuing to raise money as P5 are hosting a raffle for the remaining Irn-bru.

Well done to Jamie for collecting his head teacher’s award for excellent effort in homework.

We enjoyed learning about saving money with the credit union this morning during assembly and we hope to learn more about this soon!

Have a lovely-jubbly weekend!

This morning we were finding out about the different ways an author can present  text to make his or her writing more interesting.

We found out about bold, italics, size and underlining.

We made shapes with our bodies to try and help us remember what each one was. Can you tell?

We read the story about Little Red Riding Hood together. Then, in our groups we looked for evidence of each one in our story.  It was tricky to do  but we were able to find most of them.

We are excited about looking for the different ways of presenting text in our reading books!
