Primary 3B with Mr McGuigan

Summary of Learning

Literacy

Within writing we will be looking at the genre of a ‘report.’ This is a non-fiction text which gives factual information about a topic. We will be writing some reports about our class topic ‘Space.’

We are continuing to read 3 times a week within our groups looking at common words and comprehension skills. We will also be working on some spelling patterns in class this term.

Our class novel is ‘The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark.’

We have been learning cursive joins for each lower-case letter.

Numeracy & Maths

In numeracy we will be looking at addition and subtraction strategies, using a range of concrete, pictorial and abstract approaches.

Within maths, we are looking at money. This includes identifying coins and notes, finding the total value of a number of items and giving change up to £1.

PE Days

Our P.E days are a Thursday (in the gym hall) and Friday (on the outdoor pitch). We also have P.E.E.K every second Wednesday afternoon which is active play in the playground.

Please dress your child for P.E on these days (and for the weather) and ensure they are not wearing any jewellery.

Homework/home learning

We hope to send out spelling words and challenges each week as well as setting online maths challenges. Please note that homework is primarily to keep parents and carers up to date on what is taking place in the classroom and does not contribute to any ongoing assessment.
