A Note from the Teacher

Primary 3N have had a very enjoyable term! In our topics, we have been learning about electricity (more information is on the blog) and energy.

We have been outdoors learning about maths and have had fun doing active games whilst learning about shape. Recently, we have been conducting our own surveys and displaying the information in different ways.

Topics

Our topic for Term 2 is ‘Children from Other Lands’. We will be exploring what daily life is like for children in Scotland and various other counties. In addition we will find out about the countries geographical and environmental features. We will also develop an awareness of Scottish national dress and cultures including learning some ceilidh dances!

Literacy

We have been learning new phonemes every week and will continue this into the next term. Sometimes we will work on phoneme tasks in class and other times it will be given for homework.

There are a range of literacy activities and skills, which the children will work on over the course of the next term. Each task will be tailored to challenge or support children where required.

Numeracy

We look forward to our new topics: Money and multiplication.

Every day, we engage in mental math activities using different strategies. Our favourite game is up and down!

Once a week we are developing our Problem Solving skills. We choose and discuss the best strategy as a class.
