It was a very short week but I must thank you for the great work that had been done at home for both home learning and homework. I must also thank you for your support in returning the home learning bags. Home Learning will be sent home on Monday in the bags and will contain the Mental Agilities Rainbow chilli challenge grid, the Topic (Vikings) grid and a book for home reading for pleasure. Today the children chose their books from the Book Box to take home on Monday.

Next week is Maths Week and there will be lots of fun activities for them to undertake during the week. We will have Maths Week launch at Assembly on Monday and on Tuesday P3 will visit the Museum on the Mound to take part in three workshops about money. Today we focused on Time, o’clock and half past as you can see every one was working hard on different activities about time.

We will be starting to write Poetry next week and have been invited to the Poetry library on Thursday to listen to poems being read by their writer as it is National Poetry Day. On both trips we will be walking and I would be grateful if you could provide a coat. Thank you for all your support.

I hope that you had a great learning day yesterday and I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Please remember to bring your Home Learning bags back to school and any maths and literacy work and homework that you were able to complete. The home learning today is maths, once again a more challenging place value challenge. In Literacy continue to practice your spelling but use Read, Write, Cover, Check and your literacy challenge is to create a story using your spelling words. See if you can use them all.

Good Morning P3 I hope that you were able to work on the learning that was sent to you yesterday. Today’s Learning is in the same timetable format as yesterday but with different Maths and Literacy tasks. Have a go at the more challenging Place Value questions using Deanes and today’s Literacy is practicing your group spelling words, that you were given on Monday, using rainbow writing. We have used this challenge in class and now it is time to try it out, once you have done this use your words to create silly sentences or you can even use other groups spelling words.

Good morning Primary 3 and I hope that you are ready to go with today’s home learning. Here is your timetable for the day ahead and maths and literacy activities.

Today P3 starts their home learning.

Home learning that will be undertaken during the industrial action will be sent separately each day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week following a whole school timetable.

I have provided home learning bags to support your child in taking home their home learning for this term.  Please support your child’s home learning by discussing their home learning with them and returning the home learning bags to school.

Home Learning will be issued on a Monday and where possible copies will be available on the P3 Blog in PDF. I have attached copies of the home learning for this week.

Monday 25th – Friday 29th – Maths Mental Agility sheet addition and subtraction – grid to be used up to 13th October- try different chilli challenges. One chilli, easy, two chillies slightly more challenging and three chillies – really challenge yourself. Mark off each challenge when you have tried it and return it in bag on Friday.

Reading – Reading books from the library or book box will be sent home for your child to read for pleasure and share with you.

Viking Topic Grid – grid to be used up to 13th October – try one or two challenges a week and return what has been tried on a Friday – remember to mark off what you have tried.

Contents of the home learning bag for this term will be:   

• Reading books from library or book box for reading for pleasure
• A Topic challenge grid that can be completed over the next few weeks.
• Maths home learning activity or challenge sheet

Please return home learning in the home learning bag by Friday of that week so that children can check and discuss the learning at Feedback time. Books will only be exchanged if they are returned to school, no new books will be issued until outstanding books are returned.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require support or wish to discuss home learning. Thank you for your support.
