Good morning,

For the Read Write Inc. readers in the class, here are the sounds to practise at home. I would recommend every pupil in the class listens to these links, as we do practise these in class all together with flashcards.

Keep safe,

Good morning,

I have been passed on this wonderful information from the staff at the Antonine Wall in Falkirk:

‘I wanted to just flag some resources in case you want to highlight them to pupils studying at home.’

• Via the website, pupils/ parents can download a free app that gives a virtual tour of key sites along the Antonine Wall. They can use this at home or families can take a walk to the open air, free sites in line with current social distancing advice, and use it on site. It’s available for android or ios and link is here: https://www.antoninewall.org/visiting-the-wall/download-the-app
• There is also a free digital game designed specifically for primary pupils which explores a reconstructed Roman fort and is available here: https://www.antoninewall.org/learning-centre/primary/digital-game
• I’m sure you’ll also have seen all of our downloadable worksheets and activities but just to summarise all are here: https://www.antoninewall.org/learning-centre/primary/downloadable-resources
• We also have  a lot of objects from the Wall which we scanned and are available as 3D Sketchfab models here: https://sketchfab.com/HistoricEnvironmentScotland/collections/antonine-wall

Amazing resources for you to use at home to help support our Roman topic!

Kind regards,

Mrs Love

This week the Children were focusing on Scottish culture for the second week. We had been learning poems at home and three pupils were put to the final and Calum won today for P3. Congratulations Calum! I also want to give the children a big well done for singing the ‘Welly boot song’ in assembly today. You did a fantastic job and sang along so well. I am very proud of you.

In Literacy we looked at the verbs, nouns and adjectives in our procedural writing ‘How to make shortbread’ and then followed the recipe to make the shortbread in the afternoon on Tuesday.

In Maths we revised our 2 and 4 times tables and the strategies to support them.

In P.E. we performed our partnered mirroring of gymnastic shapes and jumps and teddy bear rolls. We had the privilege of attending the sports festival at Xcite Craigswood. The children had a taster of 7 dfferent clubs. Those seven were – Judo (Destination and Jidel 93), Tennis, Athletics, Basketball, Football and Rugby. They had a fantastic time on their outing.

Window-into-Learning, term 3

In Primary 3 this week, we learned how to tell the time in fifteen minute intervals in our maths (o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to). In literacy we focused on past, present and future tense sentences and wrote spelling words in our handwriting jotters, keeping to the correct lines and keeping our writing neat. In P.E. we worked on dribbling around cones and we played benchball on two courts now we understand the rules. We also created anti-bullying posters in the class and discussed what bullying is.

The children said –

John – I enjoyed maths this week. Learning quarter past, half past, quarter to and o’clock.

Andrew – I have enjoyed listening to our new class novel ‘The magic faraway tree’.
