Welcome to Primary 3a!

Welcome to Primary 3a! We have all had a fantastic start to Primary 3 with everyone trying their best in everything they do.

This year the whole school is working towards achieving our Rights Respecting School status. We have already looked at the rights we have and what our responsibilities are to have these rights. We made a class charter which everyone has signed. We will be doing lots of different activities over the year relating to our rights and responsibilities.

In maths the triangles and the rectangles have been learning the 2 and 5 times tables and the circles have been practising adding and taking away within 20. Everyone loves taking part in active maths!

We have also been looking at collecting information

and using it to make a bar graph! We worked in our cooperative learning groups to complete this challenge.

Grefriars Bobby delivered a special book to our class to introduce us to our topic, Scotland. Bobby has been setting us different challenges to help us to explore and learn about different parts of Scotland.

We have used maps to look at where Scotland is in the world and where Renfrew, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Skye are in Scotland.

We used a super website to help us learn all about the features of the Highlands. http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/sysm/landscapes/ Everyone loved drawing their own picture of the Highlands and were able to label the key features. We are looking forward to learning about the River Clyde and about different tartans. Everyone has had great fun learning the Canadian Barn dance at gym and we can't wait to learn some more Scottish Country dances.

In R.M.E we are learning about islam and Eid ul Fitr. We made a learning plan and have mapped out what we would like to learn about this topic. We looked at the prayer mats Islams use and we started to create our own.
