We are currently in the process of changing Glow passwords for all the children in P3b.1 and P3b.2. Children will be issued with their password in class on Friday. We felt it was easier for the children to use their Sumdog password for Glow too.
Venn Diagrams
Primary 3b.2 are looking at different ways of handling data. We have been learning about Venn diagrams over the last couple of days and we have been sorting lots of different things.
We worked with a friend to sort things we like, this led to some interesting conversations 🙂
We also made our own Venn diagrams and thought about what we could sort. Everyone worked really well together and enjoyed getting active at maths time.
We were delighted to welcome Rev. Boag to our class today. He spoke to us all about baptism and christenings. He brought along a beautiful silver dish from the font that he uses to baptise babies. This was donated to the church in 1969 by a family who had their baby baptised there, how lovely!
Homework Jotters
We are still waiting on quite a few homework jotters to be returned. Please can you send them in ASAP so we can assess your child’s spelling sounds.
Thank you 🙂
P3b.1 Assembly
A big thank you to everyone who came to our 80’s themed assembly this afternoon. We had a brilliant time and it was lovely that so many of you joined in with our games so enthusiastically. I imagine many of you may be spending your weekend skipping and playing with elastics!
P3b.2 Assembly
P3b.2 are looking forward to their class assembly next week and have been working hard to learn words and dances. Every child has a very important job to do next week and I’m sure they will want to share their job with you. Please practise lines if your child has a reading part. They have lines in their school bags.
Thank you, as always for your continued support.
Homework
Just a wee reminder that the homework jotters are to be handed in tomorrow, 6th March.
The next few weeks are going to be very busy in Primary 3. We have our parent assemblies, Reverend Boag is coming in to talk to us and we are hoping to organise a trip.
Because of this, we will be spending time in class consolidating the previous sounds taught in Primary 3 and focusing on other aspects of literacy such as sequencing, cloze procedures and comprehension strategies. Homework jotters will be sent home and time can be spent going over sounds/common words that your child has found tricky and are highlighted amber. For extension, children can work on creating sentences and thinking about structure by adding e.g. adverbs, similes and adjectives.
After the Easter holidays we will go back to introducing new sounds and common words.
P3b.2 fashion designers
P3b.2 have created their own 80’s fashion designs. There are bright coloured outfits, neon accessories, leg warmers and lots of curly perms.
Welcoming a Baby P3b.1
Primary 3b.1 have been learning about how different religions welcome babies into their communities and families. If possible, could we please have some baby pictures of the children sent in for a fun guessing game and to add to our display. We promise they will be returned! Many thanks in advance.
On Monday 9th March, Rev Boag will be visiting the class to talk to them about how Christians welcome a baby. It would be great if the children could think up an interesting question to ask our visitor.
P3b Assemblies
P3b.1 and P3b.2 will be sharing their learning at assemblies on:
Friday 6th March – P3b.1
and
Friday 13th March – P3b.2
It would be lovely if the children could wear their uniforms with an accessory from the 1980’s if they are able. Legwarmers, deeley boppers, brightly coloured beads, fingerless gloves, hats, sweatbands etc!
