Welcome everyone to the Primary 3 Blog for 2023-2024. It has been a hectic start to the school term but we are up and running. We have been out on a walk to Dunbar’s Close and we will be taking lots of opportunities to be out and about in our local community over the coming year. We have opportunities to visit the Museum on the Mound to talk about money in the Math Week, we will be visiting the Poetry Library to share poems and we are hoping to go to the Museum on Scotland to complete our Viking Topic. All of this will be before the end of term.

It was lovely to have so many parents visit the classroom at Meet the Teacher and we loved singing to you and showing how we do our spelling. We hope to share more of our learning over the year and will take every opportunity to show you our learning.

Homework will be issued after the September Holiday and it will be on the blog and issued in the school bags on Monday to be returned on Friday. It will consist of literacy and math that has been covered over the week. I encourage you try the homework and when it is returned on a Friday the children will be responsible for self correction.

I would like to remind you of the following which helps your child in class. As the classroom can be very hot please try and provide a water bottle, (water only) as juice can be very sticky. Please could you send in a PE kit that can stay in school as we have PE three times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) the kit will be sent home to be washed during the holidays. Please could you provide a pair of indoor shoes as we get nearer winter and the rain is quite heavy it is good to have a change of shoes.

I have attached Term 1’s Overview and if you have any questions or concerns please contact me through the office as soon as possible so that I can address any issues or problems. Regards Mrs Leslie

Dear Parents and carers (and my P3 class),

My final time writing this P3 blog…It has been an absolute pleasure to teach this lovely class this past year! I have seen each individual grow in confidence and I know they are going to have another amazing year with Mrs Rush in Primary 4. The children have been so resilient and are always looking out for each other. I asked them what was one of their best things in P3, many of them said, “the friends in our class”. I really am so proud of them and wish them all the best next year.

I will still be seeing them around school, so there’s no getting away from me just yet ;p

I hope everyone has a lovely holiday and as always, stay safe and happy!

Mrs Ho
