Christmas Shenanigans

We we are getting into the Christmas spirit in Primary 3b!

 

Hooray! We’re all off to see the Primary 1 Nativity!

 

This caused a bit of excitement, what a lovely surprise to come back to 🙂
The festive culprits.

Our Trip To Lapland!

Primary 3b.2 have been taking part in a very exciting activity. We have been learning all about budgeting and have been pricing up a holiday to Lapland! The children worked together in pairs and had some very interesting conversations about which flights, hotels and activities to choose. There were more than a few sad faces this afternoon when we had to break it to the children that we weren’t actually going to be visiting Santa in the North Pole 🙂

Rory and Harry put a lot of thought into whether they could afford to upgrade their hotel.
Ben and Heidi used calculators to make sure their calculations were accurate.
Harris and George made sure to choose two fun activities.
A very industrious class!

 

Pet Detectives

Some of our puppets also got to hear the story ‘Pet Detectives’.  They really enjoyed hearing the stories being read with expression.

P3b glass jar appeal

We are looking for glass jars for one of our Christmas craft activities and would really appreciate donations of glass jars. We are hoping for one jar per child. Please send a clean glass jar with the label removed for next Friday. If you have more at home, we would gladly receive them.

Thank you once again for your continued support!

Primary 3 Teachers

Homework

Good morning!

We hope you have been enjoying using the ‘Read, Write, Count’ bags at home.  Further activities linked to these can be found here.

This week P3b.1 and P3b.2 will be again using the bingo grids in the back of their homework jotters to choose which tasks to complete. Please colour in each box when a task has been done – this lets the class teacher know what the children have been doing at home, especially if the task is an active one with no written evidence.

We are on week 12 of our spelling words using the ‘wa’ sound as in ‘was’.  These words, along with common words to be practised this week, are also glued into the children’s homework jotters. It is great to see the children’s spelling test results improving so thank you for  continuing to support your child at home in learning these.

 

 

P3b Local Area Homework Project

Good Morning!

P3b have a homework project which they will bring home in their schoolbags today.  The children have been learning about the local area in class and recently went out for a walk as far as Broom Park.

We would like the children with their families to learn something new about the local area.  All of the guidance is on the sheet which will come home today.  They may write their information, take photos or even draw a picture.

The children will present their projects in class on Friday, 22nd November.

Thank you,

P3b Teachers

Yoga

As it was raining today, P3b.1 practiced yoga in the classroom for their P.E. Namaste!

Homework

Homework jotters will be sent home today. You will see from the spelling programme  that we are now on week 9. We now move on to focussing on one sound a week. You will see that some previous sounds may have been highlighted yellow/orange. These are the sounds and words that your child needs to practise some more. We may have indicated if it is reading or writing the sound. We will continue to revisit these sounds in class but you may wish to go over these at home also.

Please continue to work your way through the homework grid. There is no need to return the jotters every week, we will let you know when they have to be returned. However, if you would rather send them back every week for us to check any work in them please do so.

As always, please get in touch if there are any queries 🙂

Transient Art

P3b.1 were looking at the work of artist Andy Goldsworthy. He makes works of transient art using natural materials. Inspired by his work, we went into the playground to try to make our own. We had to use at least three different materials and colours and be able to talk about the textures of the things we had used.
