We are looking forward to meeting our visiting farmer on Monday and we have lots of questions to ask about life on a farm and what farms produce. This week will be focusing on weight in non number and will continue to look at number processes in particular looking at our subtraction strategies. We will also be taking our learning outside as we had done last week when we used hopscotch to count in tens and threes. We also practiced our spelling patterns and worked together to create lots of words with our sounds.

Primary 3 will be trying their hand at printing with vegetables in art this week and in PE we will continue to practice our skills for Sports Day.

Home Learning will be issued on Monday and should be returned on Friday, this week we will have a spelling challenge sheet, a book to read for pleasure and a maths challenge sheet from our Rainbow Maths Strategies. I would be grateful if all the children could have a water bottle which only has water not juice as the classroom is getting hot and spilt juice is sticky. Thank you for your support in this matter.

This week is a busy week in Primary 3, however we start by wishing Mrs Henry all the best in her new school and I know that all the class and the whole school will miss her. We will be having a special Assembly for Mrs Henry on Monday morning and we hope to wish her all the best and say a huge thank you.

Last week we had our last National Youth Choir of Scotland session and the teacher said that she had been very impressed with Primary 3’s singing and the warm welcome they had extended to her on every visit.

This week Ms Brunner has been busy getting us ready for our new focus on our Mental Agility Rainbow and we have now moved to the green strand, ordering and sequencing. You can find the challenge sheets for practice attached to our P3 Blog. In Literacy we are starting to look at speech marks and we hope to make further progress on our writing. In Farm to Fork we are preparing for our visit next week by the farmer from Royal Highland Educational Trust and we are going to look at the seasons in Arable farming.

Home Learning will be issued on Monday and should be returned on Friday and in the bags will be a Maths challenge sheet, Spelling challenge sheet and a book to read for pleasure.

I hope hat you have all been enjoying the lovely weather and have been out and about on your holiday weekend. Last week we spent time creating and practicing using different lengths and rulers to measure. We looked at metres, centimetres and kilometres. We will start to look at more measure this week and talk about capacity.

As this is a short week we will revisit our sounds from last week and our tricky words. In music it will be our final session with NYCOS and that will take place on Wednesday. This week we will be taking our PE outside and hope that the weather stays good for us.

Home Learning this week will be sent out on Tuesday and should be brought back on Friday in the bags. Although this is a short week we are revisiting work that we should already know. There will be spelling challenges, maths challenges, a book for reading for pleasure and farm to fork challenge grid.
