Primary 3A with Miss Mackenzie

Hello!

P3A have had a great start to the new school year, and we can’t wait to continue to learn and have fun together!

This term, we will take part in daily reading sessions where we will continue to enhance our reading skills as well as our understanding of different texts. We will also have a daily phonics/ spelling and a weekly handwriting input. We will be practising putting words into alphabetical order, identifying vowels and consonants and practising our sentence writing with full stops and capital letters. Our writing focus this term will be ‘recount’ writing where we will write a lot about our own experiences.

In maths and numeracy, we will focus on place value which is all about identifying numbers (to 100), writing, making and ordering them. We will also look at shape.

Our P.E days will be Tuesday and Thursday. Please refrain from wearing jewellery and make sure to wear appropriate footwear and comfortable clothing that isn’t too loose fitting! We will also have time for outdoor learning at our trim trail on Thursday, so old shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy may be preferred!

On Monday mornings, we will be taking part in string lessons where we will learn how to play the violin, viola or cello. Please arrive promptly as lessons will start straight away at 9am!

Miss Mackenzie and P3A can’t wait to see what this year brings!
