Our p3 Scotland focus is on Islands. Today we did some research using maps, information sheets and the iPads to start to generate a mind map all about island life. It was a very productive Friday morning from everyone!

P3 are enjoying a 10 week block of singing with a teacher from the National Youth Choir of Scotland. Everyone was really engaged with the first session and we look forward to inviting Heather back next week!
Crafty Buddy Time
We enjoyed meeting up with our p6 buddies this afternoon. They taught us how to make some origami decorations and read us some amazing stories they’d been writing in class. Thanks for having us p6, we had a great time!
Our Own David Attenborough !
A bit thank you to Henry who has taken time to prepare another fantastic presentation for our class to enjoy. This one was all about Europeans animals and there were some really unusual creatures included! Keep up the great work Henry!
Toys from the Past
As part of our Toys project we set an additional homework task where pupils could interview a family member about a toy from their childhood. I’ve been SO impressed with the children’s findings. Thank you to everyone for taking part and helping us learn more about toys from the past!
A visit from Ms Kennedy
We loved having Ms Kennedy working with us this afternoon on growth mindset and introduce some new spelling strategies. We are looking forward to having her back for the next two Tuesday afternoons. Great spelling work today everyone!
Museum of Childhood
P3b enjoyed a trip to the Museum of Childhood this morning as part of our toys project. We split into groups and explored the various galleries, learning all about toys from the past. Everyone participated really well and represented our school brilliantly. A member of the public even commented on how great the class was. Well done everyone, a super trip!
Toys!
P3 are very excited about our new topic, toys! One of our first tasks was to try and categories toys thinking about their similarities and differences. We sorted them by the materials they are made from, their purposes or target age group.
Food Miles
We’ve been investigating where different foods we buy come from and how far they have to travel before they reach us here in Edinburgh. Some really surprised us! It has made us think more about the impact the food we buy is having on the environment.
P3b visit Pizza Express
P3b enjoyed a brilliant trip to Pizza Express in Morningside on Tuesday morning. We learned all about how to prepare food safely and hygienically, how to make a pizza and we learned some interesting facts about pizzas too! Did you know the mozzarella, tomato and basil used to decorate a margarita pizza is meant to symbolise the 3 colours of the Italian flag? Everyone enjoyed eating their pizzas and I think most people managed to save some to take home and share with their families too! Well done p3b for being so enthusiastic and representing our school so well.
