Congratulations to Calder for winning the house points his term!
They have decided on a Movie Afternoon for their treat. On Thursday 10th October children in Calder can bring along pyjamas/ onesie to change into (they should wear their uniform to school) and a blanket/ pillow. Children should not bring their own snacks as these will be provided.
We look forward to celebrating!
A letter will go out this week asking for a permission slip to be signed and money to be returned to the school before the event, this will mean registers can be prepared before the event.
During Maths Week, Primary 3 have enjoyed taking part in the Sumdog competition both at home and in school. The whole class received a certificate for being one of the top performing classes in the school! Well done to Jessica who also received a certificate for ranking in the list of the top 1,000 pupils out of 74,000 pupils who took part!
We have also been learning about the time, looking at both analogue and digital clocks. We have been using what we have learned to recognise the times of events in our day like break time and lunch time. Our next step is to compare the timings of our school day with the timings of a Victorian school day.
Have a look at our video below to see our learning during Maths Week Scotland.
Our House and Vice Captains set a Maths Weeks Scotland Poster Challenge, the winning designs are below.

This week, Primary 3 have been learning about germs and diseases. We are investigating how germs can spread and grow on different surfaces by conducting an experiment with a potato.
We cut the potato into 4 slices and put the first slice in a plastic bag. This is our control slice to see how a potato would decay normally. We then rubbed the other slices on different surfaces before putting them into bags to see which would result in the most bacteria growing. Our slices were then labelled and placed in a cupboard. We will have to wait until next week to find out the results.
