Measure Week

Well what a busy last week Primary 3 have had! We have all enjoyed exploring length as part of our whole school measure week. The children were set a challenge of lining up in order of tallest to smallest, without speaking! They did excellently and found our class ranged from 140cm to 116cm tall.

We also had great fun going on a length hunt around the playground. The children were given a list of measurements in cm and had to use their ruler to find things outside that matched the given measurements.

I hope you all enjoy the holidays and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!

Book Week in P3

Primary 3 have had an exciting and engaging week during Scottish Book Week. We are all enjoying reading Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and have used this as inspiration for our writing. The children wrote letters to Mr Wonka persuading him to make their own sweet or chocolate invention in his factory. The children carefully considered the structure of their letters along with different examples of persuasive language they could use. Their hard work has definitely payed off and I don’t think Mr Wonka could refuse!

We also worked together to design and create a Charlie and The Chocolate Factory themed door display and were very pleased with the end result!

Our book week came to a great end as we all received our Read Write Count bags. One of the books in the bag was an atlas, therefore the children enjoyed a tasting session of different types of bread from around the world.

Here are what some of the children thought about our book week;

Aiden – “I liked playing the guess the book game best. Sometimes I didn’t even need all three clues.”

Rebecca – “My favourite bread was the French brioche bread, it tasted sweet.”

Lexi – “I liked writing an acrostic poem about reading and getting to share it with everyone at assembly.”

Iona – “I liked getting to do a book personality quiz with my Dad at Biscuits and Blethers.”

This week in primary 3 we have been lucky enough to spend each afternoon singing and learning new songs with the Rookie Rockstar’s team. We have all thoroughly enjoyed this experience and working collaboratively with the whole school to record our own CD of the songs we learned. We hope you can all make it to our concert on Thursday where we will be showcasing what we have learned!

We also had a ‘spotacular’ day today dressing up and decorating spotty biscuits to raise money for children in need.

P3 Library Corner

Primary 3’s highlight of the week this week has been designing and creating our very own library corner for our upcoming library corner competition. The class agreed that our library should be an inviting and cosy space to enjoy a book. We drew up plans and gathered our fantastic ideas through discussions before eventually voting on a unicorn theme.

We all loved working cooperatively to bring our ideas to life! Here are some pictures of our new library corner, we love it and couldn’t wait to put it to good use!
