Primary 3

P3 Scooter Session

We had great fun using the scooters, learning games and taking part in an obstacle course. Look how low the limbo stick went!!!

P3 Art

The pupils drew still life pictures using beautiful flowers as their inspiration. They were trying to add lots of detail. Amazing concentration and great works of art.

This week we were very lucky to receive a visit from Fischy Music. It was amazing to see them as we sing their songs during assembly most weeks. We got to sing and dance along to tunes we know and learn some new ones too. Great fun was had by all.

P3 Book Week

We had lots of fun activities to help in our learning this week. We received new books for our class library and have been reading them each day when the bell rang to tell us to ‘Drop everything & read’. We were read some new stories and created a big display with our ideas from the book Octopus Shocktopus. We used an idea from the book to design and label our perfect house. We took part in ‘design a book mark’ competition. We learned about exclamation marks and found some in books in the class. We listened to David Williams & Julia Donaldson on Author’s Live. We took our books to the playground to read during Outdoor Learning. We found verbs in our reading books, completed some Readingwise and Giglets tasks and we each received our ‘Read, Write, Count’ bags containing two new books and lots of other surprises.

P3 Learning

On Wednesday a surprise arrived in our classroom. It was a box and it had a label that said, “To P3a, don’t open until Friday.”

We were very excited an wrote a list of what might be in the box.

On Friday we finally got to open the box.

It contained… pine cones!!!!

We all had a look and wrote down what we might like to learn about them.

Let the learning begin!!!

This week we have been learning about money. We looked at the different coins. Some people decided to order them depending on their value. Next we were given an amount of a toy and had to give our partner the coins we could use to pay. We started off with numbers to 20p but soon moved up to 50p. Some even managed up to 99p! Then we went into the playground and wrote in chalk to show what coins we would use for certain amounts. Lots of active learning with partners.

P3B Creativity

As we get nearer to the end of term we have discussed all the things we would like to do together before our time in Primary 3 is over. Drawing. painting and making models were high on our wish list. So on Tuesday this week we had a very creative time during our Art and craft afternoon.

We enjoyed making a variety of things including bunting for Gala Week!

This week in P3.

Happy Friday P3! … and Happy Red Nose Day!

We loved seeing different super heroes in our classes today and we enjoyed listening to lots of jokes. Well done to Erin and Paul for confidently reading their jokes at our assembly. Thank you very much to everyone who made a donation to Comic Relief.

We have all been working so hard in P3 this week on writing information reports. We are have been discussing our core targets and thinking about how we can improve our writing. When we assess our writing we think about… what went well and even better if…

We have also been working on division and using our multiplication facts to help us work out the answer.

Well done everyone! Have a lovely weekend!

This week in P3B!

It’s so good to be back P3B! You are all enjoying being in school again and playing with your friends.

This week we have been working hard on our 3 and 4 times tables. We love to use animated clips or videos to help us skip count in 3s and 4s. We are learning how to work out multiplication word problems and we wrote the 4 times table in the playground using chalk.

We have used word boost this week to help us learn new words and understand what they mean.

We started our Ancient Egypt topic and we wrote down what we know already. Most of us know they have pyramids there but we are not sure why. As a class we came up with three big questions that we want to find the answers to.

In Science we have been experimenting with magnets which was good fun!

On Thursday we had a great World Book Day. We looked at the books in our school library and we are trying to find out what the best book in the world is. We also found out about working in publishing. The jobs of editor and illustrator sound really interesting.

We love lots of different books. What is your favourite book?

Thank you P3!

As we get ready to return to school on Monday we would like to say a huge thank you to you all for your hard work over the last few weeks. We have been so impressed by how well you have engaged with remote learning and with the standard of your work. Lots of you have tried hard to extend your learning at home.

Also a massive thank you to all the mums and dads .. and some brothers and sisters, that have helped and supported you to do your best. It has not been easy at times.

We have managed to stay on track with our learning and we have covered work that we would be doing if we were in school. We hope you are feeling ready to continue in school and we know you will be excited to see your friends. It will all look and feel the same as before. There are now hand sanitiser dispensers on the wall at the door so this makes it very easy to remember to clean our hands. We will let you know next week which days we will be having PE this term.

Looking forward to seeing all of your smiley faces on Monday!

Have a lovely weekend!

From your very proud… and excited teachers!
