Design a Book Character Competition!

 

 

This week P7 has been working very hard to organise their Book Fayre (3rd- 7th March) which incorporates World Book Day on Thursday 6th March.

P7 is running competitions for both Upper and Lower Primary classes.

P1-3 were asked to design a book character and to describe his/her/its skills and/or superpowers.

 

P3 took up this challenge and decided to use their writing time in class to create their own characters and to apply their recent hard work  and learning in adjectives to describe them.

 

Today (Friday) P7 anounced the results after judging all the entries.  All were of a very high standard.

We are pleased to say that our Christy won first prize for his character and Leah was runner-up.

 

Well done to both of you!

And here are our two proud winners!

 



Look what Einar brought to school!

 

 

 

At Check-in today, Einar asked if he could show the class what he'd brought in.

 

Einar had kindly brought in some pieces of flint and an actual flint arrowhead to show everyone!  This flint had been found around the Skara Brae settlement and so was very interesting to P3 as we study our Ancient Orkney topic.

Einar explained how flint was used and answered questions from his claamates and teacher.

 

We were all excited to think we were able to hold a real, ancient artefact in our hands and felt very lucky indeed.

Thank you, Einar, for such an interesting talk! 



Tanzanian Lunch!

 

Today our amazing dinner ladies made an extra special lunch!

In eager anticipation of the start of the Commonwealth Games 2014 to be held in Glasgow later this year we have been asked  to give our support to two guest countries - namely Tanzaia and the Caymen Islands.

We have been looking at slides of Tanzania to try and observe what the country looks like; we have been talking about the animals which live there; and we have been learning to recognise the Tanzanian flag!

Our dinner ladies made us a Tanzanian stew with rice and yummy baked banana and ice cream for pudding.  Mrs Miller thought it smelled delicious, and we enjoyed eating it too!

Hope you enjoy our photos!  We had fun taking them!

 

Silly Lines in P3!

 

P3 were having fun today making silly lines!

 

We were not waiting in a line to go to PE, or more importantly LUNCH (!) this morning. 

 

We were enjoying some SILENT challenges - lining up according to height, hair colour and alphabetical order.  And all without talking to each other!

 

This activity was to help us work in a team and to improve our learning community in P3.

 

Well done P3!  We did it!

 

And look at our successful, smiling faces!
