Primary 3 – 2025

Homework 24th March

Continue with the grid. We will change this after the Easter holiday. We’re hoping you may have tried a few new activities. Remember you can still always do sentences for your words instead, try to include different starter words for your sentences, words like – Sometimes, When, Usually, – experiment with ones of your own. We always look forward to reading through your work.

We have been looking at Clockwise, Anti-clockwise, quarter turns and half turns in class. Try to direct someone in your family using these directions – for example –

Walk 2 steps forward

Quarter turn clockwise

Walk 2 steps forward

Half turn anticlockwise

Where does it take them? Can you direct them to the kitchen or the bedroom?
