Today, all pupils have received their Nessy and Sumdog login details. Please check your child’s school bag and keep this information somewhere safe.
You may wish to take a photograph of the login card in case it is misplaced. The card includes the website addresses and your child’s individual login details for both platforms.
We run weekly competitions on Nessy (based on the number of nuggets earned) and similar challenges on Sumdog. Some competitions also run across the whole school.
Primary 3 is the best, so let’s show the rest of the school what we can do! We are excited to see P3 climbing the leaderboards each week and appreciate your continued support in encouraging regular practice at home.
In numeracy this week, we have been practising the 2 times table through a fun relay activity. The children worked in teams to answer different multiplication questions, showing great focus and teamwork throughout.
Well done to everyone for working so hard — you were all super and did a fantastic job!
Primary 3 have recently started using Nessy in school. It is a superb literacy resource, and we are very lucky to have access to it. Mr Brownlie will be getting logins organised soon, which will allow children to continue their learning at home as well as in school.
We have begun our new PE block on gymnastics, with a focus on balance. The children have been practising different ways to hold their bodies steady, using a range of shapes and positions. They have shown great concentration and control as they explore balancing safely and confidently.
We have been practising our poem A Dug, A Dug by Billy Keys in class. The children have been working on reading with expression, clear voices, and using actions to help bring the poem to life. It has been great to see their confidence grow as they practise performing in front of others.
We enjoyed a fun darts numeracy lesson this week, using our scores to practise mental addition and subtraction. The children worked quickly and confidently to add on and take away points, showing great focus and number skills.
With some impressive scoring and fast calculations, we might just have found the next Luke Littler in our class! 😄 A great lesson full of learning and fun.
Before the Christmas holidays, we took time to reflect on what we are grateful for this festive season. As a class, we created a poster where everyone shared something they are thankful for.
The children’s responses were thoughtful and heart-warming, reminding us that Christmas is about more than presents. It was a lovely way to end the term, encouraging gratitude, kindness, and reflection as we head into the holidays.
This numeracy lesson took us outside — and the children absolutely loved it!
We turned our playground into a brilliant Nature Shop, hunting for leaves, sticks, stones and anything else we could find. Each item had its own price, so the children had to use their maths skills to calculate how much money their shop could make.
There was so much excitement as they compared prices, added up totals, and even negotiated what their most valuable items might be! It was fantastic to see teamwork, problem-solving and creativity all happening naturally outdoors.
