Welcome to our website
It has been a busy month in P3 as we settle into our new school year! Please enjoy our wonderful Picasso-inspired art work from the beginning of term.
We are busy working on our Celts (and Romans) topic and look forward to showing off more of our fantastic work this month. Stay posted!
This week marks Maths Week Scotland! As such we are asking you to have a look at the Maths Week Homework grid as the main focus this week!
Reading
Children should complete the characters and settings task in the reading journal. The children should find a range of different ways that the author has described both the characters in the book and the setting. For setting children could look at how the physical places i.e. homes, streets, forests etc., atmposphere or weather have been described.
Spelling
This week children will be learning how to use the ‘ing’ suffix in class. Children should practice the following words at home by completing one of the spelling activities from the grid.
Maths
This week in class we will be moving on to working with simple multiplication and divsion. To support this children should complete the Multiplication Wheels activity stuck into their homework jotters. The children should multiply the number in the middle of the circle by the number on the inner ring, as shown on the example below. 
It is Maths week all across Scotland this week.
P1 are getting involved with special Maths homework. All the boys and girls have a paper copy but in case it gets lost I’ve attached it here too!
It’s Maths Week this week! Each pupil has a Maths week challenge sheet in their folder. Please complete three of the options fo Thursday.
Stuck to this sheet is a login for Sumdog in order to participate in an online maths game challenge. This will run until Wednesday if you would like to take part!
Education City homework tasks are no longer sequenced so if you were having difficulty with the activities refusing to work, please do not fret. You should be able to access some of them now and do what will work on your device.
There is no reading task this week.
