Scots week

MrsHo

Thanks to the parents who came into class on Friday to join in with our learning. It was great to have you in and your children were very proud to show you their fantastic pieces of work 🙂

Primary 3 have enjoyed a week of learning more Scots words, listening to well known stories read in Scots and learning about Robert Burns.

After hearing some of Burns’ famous poems, we attempted to write some poems of our own. As a class, we looked into Acrostic poems and wrote one about Scotland. The children did a great job presenting this at assembly to the rest of the school.

We will continue to learn more about Scotland in the coming weeks as this is our class topic for the term.

Read, Write, Count drawing competition

Miss Copeland

Each year the Read, Write, Count programme gifts over 120,000 bags of books and fun learning materials to every P2 and P3 child in Scotland. This year they are aiming to tackle waste by using a more environmentally friendly bag. 

Their new bags are fully recyclable, made from 40% recycled content and are produced in a factory that uses 100% renewable energy. (Find your local recycling point(this will open in a new window) through Recycle Now.) 

To celebrate their new bags, they are running an exciting art competition for all P1–3s across Scotland. They would love you to draw a design that represents looking after and loving our planet. The entries will be judged by an expert panel including bestselling author and illustrator Vivian French. 

The winning design will be printed on all the new Read, Write, Count bags gifted during Book Week Scotland in November 2023.  

Alongside the printed design, the winner will receive an artist’s goodie bag and their class will receive a book donation for their library. The second and third placed entries in each stage will also win a fantastic selection of books for their school. 

The deadline to submit is Thursday 23 February and the winner will be revealed in March. So, grab your paint and get inspired by all things green!

Lots of fun learning going on!

MrsHo

Hello parents and carers,

This week, Primary 3 have taken their learning across different curricular areas and having fun whilst doing so.

In Maths, the children have been able to consolidate their learning with the use of fun interactive Maths games on the iPads (pictures of this can be seen on the weekly SWAY from Ms Henry).

In our topic work about Scotland, we have been learning Scots words and the children have been able to use some of these words in our Literacy tasks as well our daily talking and listening.

Below you can see the lovely pieces of art work the children worked on when we were learning about a famous Scottish artist – Steven Brown.

We look forward to welcoming you into our classroom next Friday 27th at 11.30am to share with you some of our learning and have a little Scots week/Chinese New year fusion celebration 🙂

Have a nice weekend.

Mrs Ho
