Our P6 children are away all of this week to Lendrick Muir for some outdoor learning.  Hopefully the weather will be kind to them and they all have a fabulous time.

We had a very short week in the Nursery so when we did get together, the children enjoyed developing their language through play. We look forward to having a full week together to play next week. We’ll be learning all about growing sunflower seeds next week. Who can grow the biggest sunflower? I bet I can!

This is going to be a busy term. We will be looking at how to write biographies, autobiographies and science reports. In maths we will be concentrating on measurement, initially looking at length but then we will investigate volume. Our topics this term will be to research our local history by investigating the shale mining era in West Lothian and looking a little further back, we will be looking at Bannockburn. Lots and lots to do and learn.

No wonder they’re not smiling!!!!!

Over these sessions we have been learning all about nouns, verbs and adjectives.  We have been learning how to improve our story sentences by adding these special words in.  Last week we learned what an adverb is and how to use it in a sentence.  One of our favourite games in class is ‘Silly Sentences’.  We like making up silly sentences with the jigsaw and then we try to add in adjewctives and adverbs to make it an exciting sentence!

Can you make this sentence exciting?

Hello Primary 3

Welcome to our new blog page. This term our topic is The Enchanted Wood. We are going to be exploring our local woodland and finding out about the different animals which live there.

Caring for our local area is also something we will be learning about. Last week with Mrs Creaney we were out in the playground  and collected two full bags of litter!

Keep on checking our blog page for updates on our topic!
