Hi Primary 3,
This week my story for you is ‘The Girl and the Dinosaur’. It is my last story for you and I chose it as a reminder of what your very first topic in P3 was. Doesn’t that seem a long time ago now!
Here are some files which will help you complete your tasks:

Handwriting Find out Copy out the following passage in your neatest handwriting. Remember to think about the letters sitting on the line, being the correct shape and size. Then add an illustration.
There’s a town beside the sea,
Not so very far from here,
With golden sands and rock pools,
And a tattered battered pier.
And there’s a girl upon the beach,
Her name is Marianne,
She’s digging for a dinosaur
Just beneath the sand.
