Our Exciting New RWI Bookbag Books
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZEVEALIh90
You may have noticed your child already coming home with one of our new and exciting RWI ‘bookbag’ books (and if not, they soon will be!) These books directly link to the RWI phonics storybook your child is working on in school and are specially designed for a family environment to promote and encourage reading for enjoyment and build understanding and speed when reading independently. The short video above has some information for parents about these new books. However, if you have any questions regarding these, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Our children deserve the best! As a school we have invested quite a sum of money into ensuring all children love to read both at school and at home and these books will help with this. We ask for your support in ensuring they are enjoyed, shared but also returned to school by the specified day (your child will know when this is). The books will be given to children in a nice new plastic wallet to help keep our lovely new reading material looking fabulous! Enjoy reading them together as a family!

Primary 3 Soup Club
Primary 3 Welcome to Tea@3!
Primary 3 Problem Solving Skills
As you have seen we have been working on understanding the language of numeracy problems and being Numeracy Detectives, thinking deeply about the clues we are given, understanding what type of operation we are being asked to do and then performing the calculation, recording it with Numicon shapes, Numicon rods or in writing on our working wall or in our problem solving booklet. We played some fun corner games. Mrs O read us a problem and we had to analyse the language to understand what type of calculation should be done. We then ran to the corner labelled with that operation. We had to offer evidence to support our decision. Activities like these help develop our critical thinking skills.
primary 3 -soup club
Today it was the start of P3 Soup Club. Half the class went to the i-Class. to peel, chop, cook and eat a delicious vegetable soup. Lots of practical and social skills being used and a delicious soup made to share! Soup Club will run again next week for the remaining children.
Primary 3 Money work
Primary 3 are enjoying working with money and learning all about equivalencies. We even made our own £5, £10 and £20 notes for using in our class shop and café which opens after the mid term holiday.
Primary 3 Reading Challenge
We love books in Primary 3, whether that’s our visits to Menzieshill Library, going to the school library or relaxing in the classroom reading garden. We have decided that we can show all we learn through reading by taking part in a Reading Mission. Each Reading Mission has six challenges.Each successful challenge earns a sticker and six challenges earns a certificate.The challenges are based on Blooms Thinking skills and the children must choose from an activity based on the skill of remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating or creating. Each successful challenge moves the child’s Superhero up the mission wall. We have been really motivated with this challenge and there’s lots of deep thinking going on!
primary 3 Another baby visit
Baby Georgia visited us for the first time this month and we noticed lots of changes. She is now eating pureed food so she has grown a lot and is becoming stronger. She can almost roll over by herself now. She loved hearing our singing and was full of smiles. Mum Vikki is getting a bit more sleep now too. We talked about how Georgia shows her mum how she feels and we talked about different emotions.
