This week in Primary 3 we have been learning all about Scotland and its heritage. We were learning the skill of ‘weaving’ where we designed, created and perfected our very own tartan for our families.

We also took part in the Scots assembly where we sang two Scottish songs – Mairi’s Wedding and Rammie in the Chip Shop. Our two Scots poem winners also performed ‘Twa Legged Mice’ in front of the whole school and P4 parents/carers.

Well done everyone!

For reading last week, primary 6 were focusing on questioning.

Miss Fleming introduced a new book to the class called The Weather Weaver by Tamsin Mori. The book was wrapped up in Christmas paper – once we opened it up, we predicted what the story was going to be about by looking at the front cover and reading the blurb. We then looked at a chart to create questions. Whilst I read the story, children came up with questions on their whiteboards – these questions came from the first 2 pages of the book! Primary 6 cannot wait to find out how these questions will be answered.

Anti Bullying Week 2022 – we have been learning about how we can reach out to others if we are being bullied or if we see someone being bullied. We have learned that we can speak to a trusted adult, include everyone and be kind to others. For Anti-Bullying week, we also had discussions about texting and what is appropriate. We looked at scenarios if someone was receiving hurtful text messages and how we could respond to this.

Art – We have been learning how to create a silhouette by creating a background where we blend colours from dark to light with white paint. We looked at the contrast this made when painting the silhouette of a tree over the background.

Topic – for our news topic, we have been learning about Fake News. The children have identified what makes a news story fake, by thinking about the source, the date, who has written it and if the article has been shared anywhere else. We have also explored different news outlets through a scavenger hunt to find different articles and what makes it newsworthy.

Book Week 2022 – For book week, the children watched an Author’s Live with the author Anthony Horowitz, the writer of the Alex Rider books. Here is what the children had to say about it
