Primary 3 are very excited to be going on a trip on Tuesday to Albyn Park in Broxburn to take part in a range of football activities. Over the last 6 weeks, the class have enjoyed weekly football coaching in school and are now getting a chance to put their new skills into action. Wish us luck!

Primary 3 have been learning how to use an Atlas this week. The work we have completed on coordinates in Maths has really helped us with this! We located the islands we are learning about in our topic, Madagascar and the Isle of Coll. We then challenged one another to find different countries by checking the index to find the page of the country and it’s coordinates. We have also been researching the different landscapes found in Madagascar and have discovered that it has mountains, tropical beaches, cities and rainforests.
Penpals for Primary 3!
Primary 3 have been busy writing letters to Magale School in Uganda this week, introducing ourselves to the children there and telling them all about our lives at Pumpherston. Susan and Robert Comrie are going to send the letters for us and organise for a child of the same age to write back to us. We are very excited to hear about what life is like in Magale!
Primary 3
As part of our Scots focus, Primary 3 have been finding out about traditional Scottish crafts. We researched the history of tartan and then made our own tartan design. We have also been having fun learning how to knit!

Primary 3
We have been researching the different kinds of animals that can be found in Madagascar and finding out facts about their diet, habitat and behaviour. We worked in pairs to display our facts on a colourful poster. In writing we have been making lists of what our “wants” and “needs” would be if we were to be stranded on a Desert Island. We all agreed that food, water and shelter should go on our “needs” list.
