Here are the minutes from two PSA meetings that have taken place this month
We have had a great day taking part in Sports Relief 2016! Well done to all those children who have organised and taken part in our fundraising activities. Our highlights today were dancing in assembly and taking part in an obstacle course!
Earth hour is this Saturday 19th March from 8.30 till 9.30. The Eco Group have prepared for the event by decorating jam jars to use as glass lanterns.
Yesterday, Primary 3 had a very special visitor in school. Christiane Dorion, who has written a series of children’s non-fiction books, came to visit us to tell us all about her book “How Animals Live”. She told us about different animal habitats and the animals that live there. She challenged us with animal riddles, and then we had to come up with our own! We also had lots of fun making the noise of a rainforest (primary 3 are very noisy!). She also brought along an elephant tusk, a leopard skin and a hippo tooth to make us aware of the dangers animals are in from hunting.
Some of us bought a copy of her book and Christiane signed it for us!
This visit was part of the Scottish Friendly Children’s Book Tour, organised by the Scottish Book Trust and Primary 3 had great fun!
Just to remind everybody that it is Sport Relief this week. It is on Friday 18th of March 2016. There will be lots of fun activities this week for everybody. There will be money boxes in your classroom – please bring in loose change and put money in them if possible. There will be a certificate for the winning class. We are having a competition to design a Sport Relief mascot, with fantastic prizes. We will also be selling wristbands and they will be 1 pound. On Friday there will be an assembly all about Sport Relief and there will be a fun TRY-ATHLON with sports activities for all pupils. Friday will also be a Dress-Down Day and you can wear sports clothes, including something red if possible. Please bring a donation for taking part.
Thank you for helping us raise money for Sport Relief!

This week we have been learning how to count in 2’s. Our teachers found a fantastic video to help us with our counting. We find it very challenging but we know that by practising and learning new things our brains are growing! Why not have a go at home with your family! GET UP! GET DOWN! Have you noticed anything special about these numbers?
We loved having our big breakfast in school and eating our Fairtrade snacks in our pyjamas! If you’re at the shops this weekend, how many Fairtrade products can you spy? How will you know if they are Fairtrade?
It was great today being back in our own playground! We are really looking forward to seeing what will happen next!
P3/2 have had another busy week. We have been learning more about Fairtrade and celebrating Fairtrade fortnight by writing our own poems and taking part in a big Fairtrade breakfast. We enjoyed taking part in the Fairtrade quiz- Do you know how many bananas are eaten in the UK each year?
. 
We have also been learning about measuring the area of shapes and objects and have used counters and squares to calculate, investigate and draw areas.
We worked with a partner to measure the area of our hands and feet and sorted them from greatest to smallest.
On Thursday, we were set a challenge from a special fairy visitor to our classroom. We measured the correct area to create a fairy and elf picnic, including a picnic blanket, cup, plate, apple, cake and sandwich. The faries loved our work and left us a special thank you beside our fairy door! How exciting!
We are looking forward to sharing our i journals and showing our new classroom to our parents next week! We are sure that you will love looking at all of our hard work.
