P3 AL

Primary 3 took part in an engaging “Tricky Times” workshop with HIP Psychology. The session helped us learn all about how to cope when things don’t go to plan and how to build our resilience when faced with tricky situations.

Through stories, games, and discussion, we explored different feelings we might experience when things get difficult and talked about positive ways to manage them — like taking deep breaths, talking to someone we trust, or thinking about what we can do next time.

The children shared some fantastic ideas about times they’ve faced challenges and how they overcame them. We learnt that everyone has tricky moments sometimes, but with kindness, courage, and a growth mindset, we can bounce back and keep going! 💪✨

As part of our new topic, Cold Lands, we engaged in a series of hands-on STEM activities to explore, experiment, and deepen our understanding.

As we learn about animals that inhabit cold environments, we investigated how polar bears stay warm in freezing temperatures.

Inspired by our focus book, ‘Lost and Found’, we explored the size and strength of boats to determine how we could safely carry the characters back home from the South Pole.

We also conducted experiments with ice, testing different materials and equipment to see which could speed up the melting process.

Finally, we explored how salt affects buoyancy, discovering how it can make objects float and gaining a better understanding of saltwater density.

The class worked brilliantly together and had so much fun as budding scientists! 🧑‍🔬

P2 completed a carousel of topic activities based on Light and Dark.

Each table conducted a science experiment of making simple circuits. We predicted what we thought would happen when we connected the bulb to the battery using wires and drew conclusions.

We created a dark den and experimented with torches and glow in the dark shapes.

Finally, we completed our Northern Lights artwork, and we spoke about natural and artificial sources of light 💡 ☀️

P2 searched our school grounds for 2D and 3D shapes.

We learnt about how to care for pets in World Around Us.  In pairs, we completed a challenge to build a 'pretend' hutch for a rabbit using boxes and other craft materials.
