We have had a really busy week in P3 with a visit to our Reading Partners at Canongate Publishers and our Christmas Party. We must thank our reading partners who gave us a lovely book reading and each member of the class was given a book to take away with them for Christmas.

Our Christmas party was great fun with lots of games and dancing. We even had a visit from a Naughty Elf who had left us footprints and fairy dust all over the classroom.

Mrs Wilson, Miss Appleby, Ms Macaulay and myself would like to wish you a wonderful festive holiday and hope you have a fun filled but restful Christmas and New Year. We will see you all in the New Year when P3 will be doing lots more fun and exciting learning. Best Wishes from the Primary 3 Team.

Two weeks to our break for Christmas but we have not slowed down in P3. Last week in PE we completed creating our dance sequence about Climate and Weather, which once we have practiced, we hope to record as part of our topic. In Maths we have been revisiting our 2, 5 and 10 times tables and have introduced the links between 2 and 4 times table and we are looking at 2D and 3D shape this week. In Writing we have worked collaboratively to write an imaginative story about The Storm which the class wrote their own individual endings to. This week the class have chosen the title ‘The Candy House’ and will work on the middle and end of the story themselves but work as a group to start the story.

This week there will be no Spelling words, however I have attached a Reading Advent Challenge sheet, created by the Scottish Book Trust, that should be attempted over the next two weeks. There are 24 challenges, try as many as you want and record in your Home Learning jotter or on the activity sheet sent home. I hope that you enjoy sharing the challenges with your family. In Maths I have enclosed two Times Tables Challenges one for the 2 times table and the other for the 4 times table. Have a go at both or just try one it is up to you but remember to challenge yourself. Home Learning bags will be issued on Monday to be returned on Friday and books should be returned with the bags or no new book will be issued for Reading for Pleasure. Also thank you for the great work done on the Shanarri Home Learning Grid I look forward to reading more of your ideas and achievements.
