We have been very busy this month! We have been learning more about our China topic, it has been great fun! We have made mini dragons for around our class and we are going make a large one for our wall, we are all really looking forward to doing that! We have also been learning about Endangered Animals that are native to China, we have found this part of the topic very interesting and we have decided we would like to share our knowledge with other people so we are going to display our posters around the school for everyone else to see and to help them become more aware of the animals that are endangered.

We have also had fun in maths this month as we have been using maps of China to plot different places and then we created directions for pair partner to follow, this has helped us with our compass points in a fun way!

As Christmas is near we will soon be learning our song that we are going to do for the Christmas Concert, this will be fun and we cant wait to perform at the concert! We will also be learning more about China and will learn how to write letters and numbers in Chinese! This has been a great topic and we don't want it to end!

We have settled into our new school well and have had a fun first couple of weeks in our 2nd term. We finished off our Commonwealth Games topic by organising and hosting a Commonwealth Games day for P3. This was great fun and the day was a great success! Primary 3 took part in all the events which included 3 legged race, long jump, bean bag race, hurdles, ten pin bowling, relay race, hoop shooting. We had a snack and presentation of all the winners from the different events. It was a great day and way to finish off our topic! We have learned a lot during this topic about the different countries which are part of the Commonwealth as well as where they are in the world, and we will be doing a solo talk on the country which we have researched in detail.

We are going to be busy again this term. We have just started our new topic on China, this has been interesting so far and we look forward to learning more about it and completing losts of different activities including completing arts and crafts as well as making and sampling food from china!

In the lead up to Christmas we will be practising our Christmas song for the school show and completing our Christmas Craft activity for the Christmas Fayre!
