Last term we all really enjoyed the William Wallace topic.  We especially loved the visit to the Bannockburn Experience, where we got to try on mediaeval armour and re-enact the battle.  We also had lots of visitors to tell us about Wallace and Bruce, which we really appreciated.  Thank you!

This term our literacy focus is on the Wild Robot story by Peter Brown.  We will use this as a springboard to enhance our learning.  The story links well to our topic of Scotland’s Wildlife.  We are hoping to get outside and learn lots about the wonderful wildlife that surrounds us here at Redwell.  In maths we will be looking at area, angle and grid references, as well as learning about money and change.

As part of the Health and Wellbeing curricululm, we will be starting a unit of work on Parenthood, Sexual Health and Relationships Education.  In P3 this will include:

• Families and people in my world who can help me
• Emotional wellbeing and friendships
• Similarities and differences between people including male and females
• Classifying living and non-living things
• Growth and development from baby to present day
• Needs of a baby/how to look after a baby
• Correct vocabulary for male and female body parts
• Maintaining a healthy body/personal hygiene
