This week we will be starting to look at Multiplication and Division in Number and we will be looking at Symmetry in non number. In Writing we will continue to look at writing and describing a setting for our stories finding powerful adjectives to describe where our stories are taking place. We have just begun our Climate and Weather topic and have big questions that we are asking and need to investigate.

Home Learning will be issued on Monday and should be returned on Friday. This week for Maths Home Learning we will be working on our Multiplication and Division Mental Maths Challenges from our Rainbow Mental Strategies. There is also a Spelling Challenge with this week’s spelling patterns and your child’s class reader. I have not included a challenge grid for other topic this week as we are just starting our new topic but we will discuss and plan this with the class and have a topic grid for next week.

P3 have busy week ahead and are looking forward to seeing you on Friday 1st November at the Autumn Learning Fair in the Hall. The class will be on hand to describe their learning with samples of their art work and what they have larned about the Festival of Diwali.

This week we hope to visit the library on Tuesday as we were not able to return our Viking books last week. This week we will be looking at discussing and planning our new topic about the Climate. We will be finishing off Time in Maths and subtraction in number. Our Imaginative story unit will be starting and we will be focusing on the setting of the story using famous fairy tales to help us plan and use our imagination.

Please can I remind you to send in a PE kit for PE on Monday and Friday and it can stay in school and will be sent home at the end of term. We will be out and about in the run up to the end of term and I would be grateful if the children could be provided with a rainproof coat and if possible hat and gloves as it is now beginning to get cold and wet.

Home Learning this week will be sent out on Monday and should be returned on Friday. This week there will be a Spelling Challenge, with the chance to create a word search from the weekly spelling words and a math’s time challenge. In the Home Learning bags there will be a book to read for pleasure or your child’s completed reading book. A copy of the other curriculum challenge grid has been left in the Home Learning bags and a copy can be accessed on the P3 blog.

Welcome back and I hope that you had a lovely week off and are ready for a busy run up to Christmas. We will be looking at starting our imaginative writing this week and we will be looking at the setting of our stories. In Maths we will be working on time and in number our focus will be using our subtraction skills. We will have PE with P2 on Tuesday so please remember to bring your PE kit back to school. In our Viking topic we will be investigating the Viking Gods and visiting the library to return our Viking books.

What a fun week we have had in Primary 3 taking our maths outdoors. We have created shapes, clocks and great outdoor games over the week. We were also joined by Primary 2 who shared different number and counting games outside with us.

We have taken a few pictures to let you see what fun and great learning we were doing outside. Hope you enjoy sharing this with us!

It is Maths Week in school and we are taking our learning outside. We will be using our playground to find 2D and 3D shape, time and number. We will be working hard to solve outdoor maths challenges and in writing this week we will be creating a recount of the alternative Fairy Tale The Three Little Wolves and the Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas.

It was lovely to meet the parents and carers at the Parent Consultations and to share the wonderful work that Primary 3 are doing. I hope that you enjoyed sharing the children’s learning and that you have had an opportunity to share and discuss it at home.

Home Learning this week will be issued on Monday and should be returned before the holiday on Friday. This week Home Learning will be Activity 4 Mental Maths challenge, Weekly Spelling challenge and this week the children will be taking home a book to read for pleasure.
