Primary 3 had a great week filled with lots of learning experiences including developing their understanding of the five senses. We got to taste various foods and describe the flavour as well as smell and feel a range of items. We got to welcome our Erasmus + visitors who then came to our classes to develop our multi lingual skills pronouncing various words in all the six different languages. After our visit to the woods, the children have produced some excellent setting descriptions making sure they have included a variety of adjectives describing all they could see and hear. In maths we have been continuing to refine our subtraction strategies as well as learn our 2 and 10 times tables. On top of all of this we have been getting stuck in to our Nativity rehearsals, developing lots of dancing, singing and acting!
A few reminders for the week ahead:
Nativity: Please can you make sure children with lines are regularly reading these at home and learning them off by heart. The show is two weeks away and whilst we have timetabled in lots of rehearsal time we would really appreciate the extra input outside of school also. Please check your child’s bag if you need to send in any costume bits and pieces, if you’re unsure just ask one of us!
Homework: Our spelling focus is on both ‘ee and ea’ sounds this week so children will be learning both sets of words from the last two weeks. Can we ask that children make a big effort with their sentences, adding lots of description and starting their sentences with different openers. It’s a habit worth developing.
PE: 3S have PE on Wednesday and 3R have PE on Thursday this week.
Enjoy your week!
