Primary 3 – Challenge Calendar!

Good Morning Primary 3!

I hope you all had a lovely long weekend. It is nice to take a break from school work and spend some quality time with your families. You can tell me what you have been up to on our P3 Blog! 🤩

This week I am working in the Tayview Community Hub so will have less time to post school work on the blog. Although, if I find anything that might be useful I will post it for you to have a look at!

Remember you are in charge of your learning this week. It is up to you  how to manage tasks and activities and decide what skills you want to practice! Have a look through previous blog posts and see if there are any activities you want to start, repeat or you can even take time to make up your own activities!

Pretend to be the teacher this week! Teach someone else in your family something new or maybe even take time to train a pet!

Have fun but remember we are still learning!

Your challenge calendar for the week is posted below and spelling words and a Sumdog challenge will be posted today!

Good luck and keep working hard!

Lots of Love

Miss Macdonald ✨

The last day to prepare for our Movie Night Extravaganza!

Movie  – Done

Poster – Done

Summary – Done

Tickets – Done

Snacks –  STILL TO DO!

Set up – STILL TO DO!

We had better get started on the finishing touches!!

Lets start with snacks…

  • Prepare some special snacks for the movie (you might need help from a grown up for this one)
  • Next, lets set up the movie area! Remember to try and make it dark and cosy 🙂

MOVIE TIME!

  • Ask the customers for their tickets and show them to their seats. If  it is too dark you could always use a torch to point out their seat to them!
  • Share snacks with customers.

Snuggle up and press play! Have fun!

PS. Remember we won’t have any tasks on the blog tomorrow as it is a bank holiday. Perfect night to stay up late and watch movies 😀
