Last week Primary 3 went off to Summerlee Museum in Coatbridge. We had a wonderful time finding out about coal and how it was mined, what life was like down in the mine, the different jobs which the miners had to do and how the houses which the miners stayed in changed over the years.

We all had a fantastic time and learned lots of interesting information to use as part of our Mining topic.

Here are some photographs of our day for you to look at.

Miss Mack and Primary 3M!

This week we have been learning the ‘wa’ sound. We have been making words with this sound and we have been reading words with this sound. Some of the words that we have made are;

Ross- wash

Erin – wasp

Aidan – water

Paige – was

Daniel – wander

Charlotte – walk

Keep an eye on our class blog to see a video of some of the children practicing their phonics.

This afternoon we have been using the internet to find out about different roman mosaic designs like the ones below, which were our favorite. We enjoyed creating our designs, laying these out on our mosaic boards and gluing these down. We worked with our peers to help one another to complete our designs. Now we need to use grout to seal in the gaps between our tiles.

Keep an eye on our class blog for our finished designs!

This morning we all performed in our class Assembly. We have been working very hard this term in Health and we had a chance to show off all of our learning this morning. Some of us took part in a piece of Drama about emotions, some of us learned and read out a poem and Ella and Aaron told us what makes them happy.
