This week on our Victorian adventure, we looked at more inventions! We learned about spa towns like Strathpeffer and created posters advertising them.
We also learned that the Victorians were responsible for some of the inventions we take for granted today – Jelly Babies, the first bicycles (Penny Farthing) and public toilets!
Then, we worked in family teams to create ‘black and white’ photographs of our Victorian bank holiday. See what we came up with below! #successfullearners
Have a lovely holiday weekend. See you all on Tuesday!

Primary 7 weekly update
It was lovely to be back with all our friends again.
We started a new Numeracy topic on volume. We have been learning how to read volume scales on beakers and jugs in millilitres and litres, working out problems with volume and we have begun learning how to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboids in cubic centimetres.
In literacy, we watched a short persuasive animation and tried to work out the message it was showing us. We then looked at the different devices the animator used to persuade us and discussed how effective these were.
In art, we started using the new drawing pencils we got at the end of last term. We learned how to draw a realistic mouth.
Have a great weekend everyone.

This week, Primary 3 continued their Victorian topic.
We worked in teams to create Victorian characters and family names. Next, we explored common jobs during that period (e.g. steelworks, cotton mill, jute factory) and wrote applications for them. We then looked at clothing items and ‘dressed’ our characters appropriately for work. Then, we looked at tenement housing (our characters were moving to the city for better-paid, factory work) and built family homes from junk. #effectivecontributors
You can see each family home below!
Check in with us next week to see what we have been learning!
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

Last week, Primary 3 began their portraits of Queen Victoria by using lines and shapes to sketch her. This week, we painted them!
We learned how to mix colours to create different tones and identify where shading should be (based on the original portrait). We then used coloured pencil to add finer details around the face. #successfullearners
Miss McLaughlin has been so impressed with our work, but what do you think?
Check in with us next week to see what we learn next!

This week, Primary 3 began learning around their new topic linked to the Victorians.
Firstly, we looked at a picture and made predictions about what might have been going on:
We discovered that the painting above shows the coronation of a young Queen Victoria – she was only 18 when she was crowned queen! We also learned that the time period is known as ‘Victorian’ because it spanned across the time when she reigned as queen.
Currently, we are busy creating coronation portraits of Queen Victoria, using lines and basic shapes to build up her features. #effectivecontributors
Check in with us again next week to see how our portraits turn out!

Today, Primary 3 were thrilled to learn that they had won the PUSCPS Winter Games trophy!
You will remember our post from a few weeks ago showing our participation in the Games, run wonderfully by our P7 team. We tried curling, hockey, slalom, biathlon and snow planes. We worked hard to build up our points total and it has definitely paid off!
Miss McLaughlin is very proud of Primary 3 – well done for your hard work and effort! #effectivecontributors
