Primary 3 – you can do it!

Hello everyone,

Primary 3 have had a fantastic week of learning and I am so proud of them all!

We have been looking at the different rules to make plural words and so far, everyone has a good understanding of this. I am hoping the children can up level their sentences by adding in more details and remember all these little things we are learning in Literacy.

In Maths and Numeracy, the children have been making use of concrete resources and games to make our learning fun. We are trying to encourage the children to recognise numbers all around them and that this can be made fun and interactive too. A new Mental Agility worksheet has been put into their homework jotter and you can take time to work through these.

Well done to all the Primary 3s! They really have worked so hard this week and deserve a little treat this weekend :p

Scots week

Thanks to the parents who came into class on Friday to join in with our learning. It was great to have you in and your children were very proud to show you their fantastic pieces of work 🙂

Primary 3 have enjoyed a week of learning more Scots words, listening to well known stories read in Scots and learning about Robert Burns.

After hearing some of Burns’ famous poems, we attempted to write some poems of our own. As a class, we looked into Acrostic poems and wrote one about Scotland. The children did a great job presenting this at assembly to the rest of the school.

We will continue to learn more about Scotland in the coming weeks as this is our class topic for the term.

Lots of fun learning going on!

Hello parents and carers,

This week, Primary 3 have taken their learning across different curricular areas and having fun whilst doing so.

In Maths, the children have been able to consolidate their learning with the use of fun interactive Maths games on the iPads (pictures of this can be seen on the weekly SWAY from Ms Henry).

In our topic work about Scotland, we have been learning Scots words and the children have been able to use some of these words in our Literacy tasks as well our daily talking and listening.

Below you can see the lovely pieces of art work the children worked on when we were learning about a famous Scottish artist – Steven Brown.

We look forward to welcoming you into our classroom next Friday 27th at 11.30am to share with you some of our learning and have a little Scots week/Chinese New year fusion celebration 🙂

Have a nice weekend.

Happy 2023!

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a lovely Winter break.

It’s been great to have a full class of children back in and they are all ready and eager to learn in this new year.

Below you can see some of our activities within this week.

The children have enjoyed “making Maths fun” by learning and playing together on Snakes and Ladders. If you have the game at home, challenge yourself to beat your child! They are getting good at their counting with this game 🙂

We spent some time in the library choosing some new books for our story corner.

The children really do enjoy a good story and like to discuss what they are reading.

As of this week, in addition to the Reading and answering questions home learning, a new Maths sheet has been stuck into the homework jotters. These do not need to be completed all at once. The children can take their time to work through the grid. Take a task or two each day and all this extra preparation at home will help with their class work.

A gentle reminder that homework folders are given out on Thursdays and returned by the following Wednesday. We ask that parents and carers remind their children to return the reading books as other classes need to use them too. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your cooperation.

I look forward to teaching and learning with all your children in these coming months and I am so proud to see all their progression to date.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Ho
