Good morning Primary 3, how are you feeling today?
This week was going to be Health Week at school and I hope you are having lots of exercise while you are at home, I am going for cycles and long walks. We also have to think about our emotional health and this song reminds us about paying attention to our feelings. You might remember this Fischy song, it has lots of lovely actions too so join in and enjoy it!
I have made a table to help me think about my emotions, maybe you could add some pictures to it? Let me know how you feel.
Another sunny day yesterday. Hope you all enjoyed it! Looking forward to hearing about what you’ve been getting up to.
Here’s another activity you could try with your family this week. Can be done indoors or outdoors! Get practising your adding! You could use any combination of numbers. Throw balls or rolled up socks. Please send a photo if you try it!
I hope you all had a great first day of June. Thanks to all those who sent me an email yesterday. Some great/awful jokes about pirates. Keep up the good work.
Pizza for Pirates got me inspired to make you a map to send you on a treasure hunt. Well actually its a spelling hunt. I have written with paving chalk all your spelling words around/near the school. You have to find them! And, because pirates use maps, below is the map which will help you find them.
The black circles are all ‘ea’ words and the black crosses are ‘sp/spr’ words. There are ten of each to find or twenty words in total. Write down the ones you find. Below is a word file you could download to help you.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I really enjoyed the warm weather and being able to go for a garden visit to family. My weekend BBQ was delicious! I think the best bit was toasting marshmallows for pudding!
Did anyone else have a BBQ in the nice weather? Or maybe have a play in a paddling pool or water fight?
This week I’ll be online today until Thursday. Looking forward to hearing from you. The Week 9 grid and resources are ready for you on the website. Plus there are new games and challenges on Sumdog and HA. Hope you have a good week!
This week my story for you is ‘Pizza for Pirates’.
And below are the follow on activities you can do. Try to do at least two over the week.

First a highlight from my past week: On Saturday we went for a long walk to Muiravonside and had a picnic. The weather fantastic and when we got home we had a barbecue. Then we watched NASA on TV to see the new rocket SpaceX Dragon launch. After that, I slept in the tent in the garden with Sofia and Charlotte. Unfortunately, my bed deflated and had to be pumped back up in the middle of the night!
Remember, I would love to hear about your highlights too.
Please, check out the school website for the P3 resources for home learning this week.
This week’s stories all have a fairy tale theme. If you have not already voted for next week’s theme you can still do so. Click on the link below to find out more.
I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather, it was a little too hot for me yesterday! Please remember to wear your suncream and a hat, it is very important.
Have you seen these wonderful chalk pictures? I really like them and think I am going to try and do one (if I can find some chalk). This could be an exciting activity for your family over the weekend. If you do one please send it to us, we would love to see them!
When we were out a walk last week someone had drawn instructions on the path similar to the ones below. It was great fun and another super idea for a family activity, especially in the nice weather.
I have enjoyed looking at everyones work this week, you have all been working so hard!
I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the weather.
I hope everyone has their sunglasses and hats ready for today. I think it’s going to be another lovely day. Maybe you could try some different activities outside today?
What about using water and paintbrushes to make fun pictures and patterns on slabs? Or you could try shadow drawing like this example?
This evening I’m going to visit my parents in their garden. It is so nice to hear we can now have outside visits starting today. I hope you are able to visit your families soon. I’m also planning to have a BBQ tomorrow with Mr Bell and our children. Fingers crossed it stays warm and sunny!
Would love to hear your news via email too. I miss our morning check ins and hearing about what you’re up to. Has anyone dropped off a rainbow picture outside school? Enjoy your weekend and I’ll be back on the blog on Monday.
This is my last day online for a week. I’m owed a week’s holiday. I had planned to go to Arran, but we’ve all had to change our plans recently. Instead I’m going to put up a new whirly gig , walk the dogs and if we’re allowed, visit family outdoors.
Mrs Bell will be online next week and we can catch up after that.
Just for fun – the dogs can be really naughty sometimes. This drives me nuts! I’m sure Hetzer and Katie Morag think they’re helping with the dishes…
Was anyone out in the sun yesterday? We went a lovely walk to a river near our house, we had never been before. It was beautiful even though we ended up on the wrong side of the river! We walked for ages through long uneven grass and bushes trying to find somewhere to cross the river as there was a path on the other side. If only I had worn my wellies!! We need to figure out how to get on the other side. We still had fun, here are a couple photos…
Rounding has been the focus in numeracy this week. Here is a rhyme to help you remember whether to round up or down. I have also included a link for ‘Rocket Rounding’ a game to help you practise.
Hope you are all well. Here is the link to Thursday’s Story Time From Home. This isn’t a story that I’ve read in school before so it might be a new one that you haven’t heard before.

During the week let us know how you are getting on by emailing myself and Miss Ross.
