A play in the park was a great way to spend some of our last full day in Primary 3. Everyone chose where they wanted to play and it was such a happy morning.
Back at school, a special treat awaited as a thank you to all the boys and girls for being so amazing this year…bubbles and ice-poles in the playground.
P.3, you are a truly wonderful year group and we have loved every single minute with you all.
Have a safe and happy Summer holiday.
What a morning we had in school on Friday! Everyone looked beautifully bright in all their varied colours, representing Scotland and many other nations. Ready to start the celebrations!
We headed straight out to the sunshine bathed astro to take part in a football session…well it is the World Cup!
On to dancing next to keep the fitness and fun going!
P7s worked hard to decorate us with face-paints and “tattoos”.
Back to class next to work on World Cup flag drawing and weaving along with designing a new football kit for a chosen country.
The children were more than excited to discover what the “surprise” part of the morning would be…the wait was over as we headed back to the hall for USA style hot-dogs then out to the playground to join the queue for the ice-cream van! What a treat!
Feeling fully fuelled after our food, we were energised for the whole school flag parade and singing event. Each class performed their song brilliantly and there were some impressive dance routines on show too!
It was such a feel-good atmosphere around our school all morning and a true festival of fun from start to finish. We are so lucky to be part of this special St John’s community. A huge thank you to the parent council for providing all the goodies!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Come on Scotland!
What a perfect place to learn more about our green planet! We explored the plants and trees within the Botanics and had a wonderful day out in the natural world.
Over the last few weeks, Primary 3 have been engaged in a range of exciting learning experiences across the curriculum. In Maths, we have been developing our understanding of fractions through practical outdoor activities, helping us to explore fractions in real-life contexts.
Our outdoor learning sessions in Figgate Park provided opportunities to investigate nature, work collaboratively and develop problem-solving skills while enjoying the local environment.
In Literacy, the children have been building their writing skills through self- and peer-assessment activities. They have been learning how to reflect on their own work, give constructive feedback and identify ways to improve their writing.
In Art, the class created beautiful paintings inspired by the remarkable migration journey of swallows from Scotland to South Africa. The children explored colour, movement and landscape while learning about the incredible distances these birds travel each year.
A lovely burst of song about friendship from Primary 3 today.
Happy weekend everyone!
