I can’t believe it is October already! However, I am delighted with how well the children have settled into the routines in primary three. Here is a little snapshot of our learning so far.

During literacy this term, we have been revising previously taught phonemes in order to consolidate the children’s learning. In Numeracy we have recently been learning about place value through active and written tasks.

In Primary three this term we have been looking at Scotland in IDL. Recently we have been using the atlas to locate different cities and landmarks in Scotland. Through purposeful play we have created a textured model of Scotland by using plaster of paris bandage and paint. You can see some pictures of us creating this as a class below and we look forward to you coming into the school to see this on display in the corridor.

We are also exploring the human body in science and enjoyed showing off our knowledge to many parents last week at the “Healthy minds, Healthy Bodies” afternoon. This week we took our learning outdoors and had lots of fun creating the human skeleton using sticks, stones and various other natural resources.

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to seeing you at parents evening Thursday 11^th November.

Kind regards,

Mrs O’Donnell
