This Friday afternoon, we will continue our outdoor learning in the science and eco gardens. The weather outdoor is for nice, warm and dry weather this week therefore the children will be able to go outside in their normal footwear and school uniforms.
P3b.1 have rhythm!
P3b.1 are enjoying music lessons from Mrs Duggie every second Monday. This week we have been singing and bouncing a ball to keep the rhythm.
Fun in the Numeracy Hub
Primary 3b.2 have been have been very busy learning more about numbers to 100. We have been looking at place value, doubling numbers and number bonds. Here are some of the ways we are working on this 🙂
Here we are ordering some numbers.
This ice cream game helps us think about hundreds, tens and units.
We are getting really good at doubling bigger numbers.
Numicon is helping us with our number bonds to 10. We are getting so quick with these!
We have also been watching some Jack Hartman videos, great fun!
Homework
Homework jotters will be coming home today. Inside you will find a homework bingo grid that we are going to be using up until the October holidays. There is also a little information sheet with instructions on how to complete this.
You will also see an overview of our Phonics for the first six weeks stuck in the jotter. We are currently on Week 3 so these are the sounds to focus on for any spelling activities this week.  Please ensure you hand in jotters on the 4th of October so we can update the grid after our consolidation/ assessment week.
Try to complete one spelling activity and one maths activity per week. The topic activities do not need to be completed every week and some tasks may take longer that one week. You do not need to hand in your jotter weekly, it is a multi-use jotter for across the curriculum which you are welcome to use for any of your activities. We will ask for the jotters to come in during consolidation weeks to update.
This term our focus is on reading for enjoyment at home, please enjoy reading from your own books, library books or you are welcome to borrow from the class library.
We hope you have fun doing your homework!
P3b.2 Outdoor Learning
P3b.2 had a great time this afternoon in the Science and Eco Garden.
Everyone had a very important job to do.
Some children used the gardening tools to tidy the garden, while other children picked apples from the apple trees.
Harris enjoyed checking the apples and he put the good ones in a large bucket. Riley organised the older napples and put them into the composter.
Next week, we will slice the apples and store them in the freezer in the kitchen.  Once we have done this, we will discuss which recipe we will use to make something delicious.

P3b.1 Stained Glass Windows
P3b.1 used a variety of media to create stained glass windows after learning about the features of a church. We used tracing paper, tissue paper and black sugar paper to make our windows. We hope you’ll agree that they look fantastic!
Stunning Stained Glass!
Primary 3B.2 have been learning about the features of a church. One of the things we learned about were stained glass windows. We had a go at creating our own! We used 2D shapes that we had been learning about during numeracy time and tried to make them symmetrical 🙂 Don’t they look beautiful with the light shining through them?
Termly Overview P3b.2
We are learning to count money.
The Numeracy Hub has been set up with a variety of activities and games to enhance the children’s knowledge of money. The children may choose to buy groceries and count change in the class shop, participate in money matching activities, play ‘Pop to the Shops’ and lots more.
Please help at home by showing your child any notes or coins you have in your purse or wallet and ask them to count the money with you.
