Hi everyone! It’s book week in St Albert’s!

To celebrate this we are reading lots of stories this week.

Friday is going to be a “onesie” day. Pupils are being asked to come to school in a onesie or their pyjamas so we can be comfy and cosy while we read our books.

Primary 3 decided that to go along with this, they would like to bring in teddies and their favourite books so we can read them on Friday.

So, if you could come to school in your onesie or pyjamas and make sure you bring your favourite book along and some teddies to keep you company while we do.

Mrs McCafferty cannot WAIT to wear her  new onesie to school on Friday!

Primary 3 went on a shape hunting last week. We found lots of different 2D shapes including circles, squares, rectangles, octagons, hexagons and evening a rhombus!

Primary 3 have started to learn about shapes in Maths.

We have been outside to see what shapes we could find in nature.

We also went outside to sort shapes into different categories; regular and irregular shapes.

Have a look at our shape hunting abilities!

We had a special visit from the police this week.

They had a very important message for us and it was all about staying safe around fireworks.

Primary 3 were excellent at answering their questions and even asked the police officers some very important questions too.

Well done P3, and remember to stay

Here is a little look at some of the learning we will be doing this term!

Primary 3 had a visit from Active schools last week. They took part in some a letter scavenger hunt outside.

Have a look at some of the fun they had!

P3 were learning about a new reading strategy this  morning known as skimming and scanning.

They thought this reading strategy would be useful to use when they were searching a dictionary, looking for a name or looking for something on a list.

They used the strategy by looking at the first letter of the word they were searching for and by looking at the length of the word.

Here are some pictures of them working on using their new strategy.

I hope you are all planning a relaxing and restful October week.

Here is an opportunity to  try some delicious vegetarian food throughout the October Week!

Have a little look at some more of the learning we have been doing outdoors!

Here are some pictures of Outdoor Learning so far this week!
