What will I be learning in P3<\/p>\n

Our teacher is Mrs Smith<\/p>\n

Literacy
\nIn primary 3 we will use our increasing knowledge of vocabulary, phonics, punctuation and grammar to read a wider variety of texts with understanding and to improve fluency and expression in our oral reading. In reading lessons we will be increasingly able to identify the characters, setting and plot in fiction and the main ideas and purpose of a non-fiction text. We will become more skilled at asking and answering relevant questions and discussing and assessing ideas in greater detail with the teacher, a partner (for example, in ‘Buddy Reading’) or in a large group.
\nUsing the class library we will independently select different types of material to read, illustrate and share in weekly book reviews and presentations.
\nIn writing we will use a variety of stimulating contexts to write extended personal and imaginative stories and have wider experience of writing a purpose in reports, letters, notes, fact files, diagrams and posters.<\/p>\n

Mathematics
\nIn maths we will begin to investigate how whole numbers are consructed to 1000. We will learn the link between a digit, its place and its value.
\nWe will use addition and subtraction (adding and subtracting mentally to 20 and above), multiplication and division when solving problems and we will know how to use the 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables.
\nWe will develop our knowledge of measurement of time: hour, quarter to, quarter past; of fractions: half, quarter, third, sixth; of length: metre and half metre; and of weight and capacity: kilogram, half kilogram, litre and half litre.
\nWe will also learn to read and create simple tables, charts and diagrams.
\nIn all our lessons we will keep as a focus the practical application of knowledge and skills. For example, in using the class shop: tally marking daily lunch orders, adding money collections, measuring areas for games, collecting and using questionaire data from other classes.<\/p>\n

Science
\nThis year we will be observing marterials and how they can be changed. We will investigate what happens when things are heated and melted. Carrying out experiments on the world around us will enable us to learn more about forces and magnetism. We will use our skills of observation to examine the world around us and learn about how our senses help us to understand our world.<\/p>\n

This years topics are:
\nThe Romans
\nWeather
\nEnterprise and Finance
\nEnergy and Forces
\nHealthy Minds
\nEco \u2013 Food and the Environment
\nGods Loving Plan<\/p>\n

P.E
\nThis year we will be developing our skills in games, dance, ball skills and gymnastics.<\/p>\n

Ethos and Wider Life of the School
\nIn Primary 3, we will:
\nGive whole school presentations at Assembly time using costumes, role-play, songs and poems to illustrate learning after our topics.
\nContribute to fund-raising for the MISSIO, UNICEF\u00a0and Mary’s Meals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
