Good Morning Primary 3. I wonder what you will get up to today? As the school is closed today I have attached some activities you can complete at home. In addition, can those children preparing for the Reconciliation Service please practice their prayers, particularly the Act of Sorrow.

We summarised the end of our reading books and wrote a story about ‘The Enormous Turnip’.

We have been learning rule for adding ‘dge’ to make the j sound after a short vowel.  In French we were learning how to say ‘my name is..’ and we played the French game ‘La Marelle’ to practise our numbers to 10.
