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.

P3 Home Learning Tuesday 26th September 2023
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.
P3 Home Learning Monday 25th September to Friday 29th September
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.
Home Learning
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, school will be closed. This is due to strikes by UNISON members.
As teachers are not part of these strikes, home learning will be posted each day on your class blog at 9:00.
Below is a document explaining the format of each day.
We have aimed to support pupil routine by creating a timetable very similar to our school day. We hope by being consistent across the school, this will support families whom may be working together or sharing resources.
We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Friday, when pupils can share the learning that has been completed at home and we can celebrate their achievements.
CELEBRATING SUCCESS
thank you for popping in! Before we start our new
MENTAL AGILITY
focus we were keen to show you how hard we worked on
across the school:
having fun with numbers to 5, 10 (and beyond)!
experimenting with Place Value arrow cards and partitioning numbers into
100s, 10s and 1s
Place Value arrow cards represent numbers in expanded notation. The cards overlap to form multi-digit numbers.
and consolidation with online games.
lots of practice with visualising and learning important principles of seeing patterns, anchoring numbers and enforce number bonds with the hands on teaching resource REKENREKS.
and Ten frames – to help develop a strong number sense! Ten frames are very useful in helping learners visualise numbers and build a good understanding of the relationships between numbers.
fun with board games and
using DIENES resources to represent 1,10,100 and 1000
allowing the learners to understand the relationship between the different columns on a place value grid:
using a variety of resources to identify, write and partition numbers up to 1 000 000 including Place value charts to help find the place value of each digit based on its position in a number.
using Place value discs including decimal numbers to tenths.
Place value disks help learners compare the value of each place, like that the tens place is ten times the ones place.
focusing on rounding to 2 decimal places.
We are excited to get started with Addition and subtraction next.
See you soon! 🙂
