This week’s optional whole school homework is a creative competition. If you are interested in taking part see the link below.

Creative Competition Flyer 2019

The competition is part of the Show Racism the Red Card campaign and encourages all participants to demonstrate an anti-racism message. If you would like to take part and require any art or other materials please let Miss McFlynn know. Be creative! You can do anything to spread the message.

The school will submit the entries together and therefore they should be returned by Friday.

Along with this whole school homework Primary 3a have spelling and reading homework as normal. All pupils have their spelling words for this week in their folders. If you require a new sheet please ask Miss McFlynn.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and are feeling well rested, ready for the term ahead 🙂

Homework this term will be in a mixture of formats with whole school activities continuing, some jotter work and the use of Education city.

Education city homework is a fun way for children to practice skills and the program allows us to monitor progress, track errors and assign specific targets  to specific individuals. It highlights errors and areas that individuals find challenging which allows us to plan and teach in a responsive manner. The activities assigned can be completed on a laptop, chromebook, tablet or phone or any device that has internet access.

Each child has their own login details which have been glued into the back of their homework jotters. Anyone having issues with login or  please contact the class teachers for support.

This week P3a have been assigned spelling homework to be completed in their jotters as normal and reading each night as normal. This term our maths homework will be completed using education city. This week the children have been assigned a variety of maths activities on Education City which should be completed by the end of the week.

Along with literacy and numeracy homework P3a have been assigned a whole school homework task which relates to our class topic for this term. Our topic this term is The Rainforest. Attached is a copy of the sheet to download incase you have misplaced your paper copy.

Thank You,

Miss McFlynn

A  huge thank you to the boys and girls in Primary 3 for all your hard work making the lovely enterprise gifts. Our stall raised a massive £63 for the school!

As you can see p3a were extrememly happy with their other pruchases from the stalls at the fair.

Yesterday we visited the Barrhead Foundry. We had a great time working with the library staff to choose and stamp out our new library books. We all chose a book from the juniour section of the library to take back to school to read during our private reading time.

At the library we also recieved our ‘Read, Write, Count’ bags. When we got back to school we enjoyed using all of the new resources we recieved in our bags.

Some of us read our new books and some of us decided to use our new note books to write stories inspired by our visit. We read our stories out infront of the class.
