Primary 3 thought that doing a jigsaw would be far too easy – until they discovered that only one person in the team could actually see the picture on the box!

The team captains had to describe the picture and the rest of the children had to try and make up the jigsaw following instructions and listening for clues. The team captains had to think carefully and the others had to show some really good listening. There was great teamwork on the go and it was interesting to see how the different teams tackled this activity.

The children enjoyed making up the jigsaws so much that they wanted to carry on after break and lunch!

Here they are showing some great teamwork. Well done Primary 3!

One of the Primary 3 pupils described today’s literacy activity as “hilarious”!

The children have been listening to Esio Trot with Miss Mack. Mrs Sutherland decided to give them a challenge and they had to find all of the silly words in a part of the story. They then had to explain why the words did not make sense. For example, did Mr Hoppy really grow flowers in a teacup and did Mrs Silver really have a pet squirrel called Bertie?!

There was lots of laughter in Primary 3 but also some very good explanations about why the new story didn’t make sense!

Here we are working hard and having fun!
