We started our week by celebrating Shrove Tuesday. P3 learned all about why we have Pancake Day and that it is the day before Lent begins. We talked about what Lent means and shared our own Lenten promises. As a class, we also made a very special promise to try our best to be kind to one another throughout Lent. 💜

On Wednesday, as part of our science topic on weather, P3 explored different weather symbols and discussed what they tell us. We used the iPads to check the weather forecast and even watched the news to see the symbols being used in real life. P3 were able to identify many different symbols and talked about which types of weather we see most often in Scotland, such as rain, clouds, and wind. We also discussed how the weather can be very different in other countries. Some places are much hotter and sunnier, while others may have lots of snow or very dry weather. P3 enjoyed comparing Scotland’s climate to countries around the world. 🌦️🌍

On Thursday and Friday, P3 began redesigning our classroom play area. After sharing lots of creative ideas, we took a class vote and decided to create a McDonald’s with a drive-through! P3 were very excited and started designing their play area, thinking carefully about what they would need and how it should look. We are looking forward to continuing this project next week and seeing our ideas come to life! 🍟🚗
