Another busy week in Primary 3.
To start the week we had three individuals in the final of the Scots poetry competition which was a fantastic achievement! To top it off one of our finalist won the overall competition and will get their name engraved on the shield. We are all super proud of not only our winner and finalists but everyone who put in an entry. Miss Stenhouse was blown away by the quality of the entries.
We had to say farewell to out butterflies this week as they had made the full change from caterpillar to Painted Lady Butterflies. It has been very interesting learning about life cycles and this made it more exciting watching it happen before our eyes.
We were all pleased that they did not fly away straight away! They stayed to say goodbye and we were all very gentle with them.
This week also saw us complete our class talks on Castles. Well done to everyone, some great facts learned about lots of different castles. We have a couple more to go next week so if you haven’t completed your talk there is still some time to practice.
As Scotland is in the Euros we have had discussions about what a
European country is and have enjoyed looking at the history of the competition. We were amazed to find out that it has been as much as 22years since Scotland made it this far. In addition to this we discussed the Scottish National Anthem, listening to it and discussing how we feel about it.
Finally we had a valiant effort in the West Lothian Sumdog competition this week. We finished 14th out of all the schools entered across West Lothian. We are all very proud of our efforts, we were synergizing to get the job done.
