Good afternoon all Primary 3 families, it has been a short (but sweet) week in Primary 3.

This weeks numeracy and maths has been great fun, from exploring skip counting in 4s (and some even taking on the challenge of doing it in 8s!), to creating our own tiling pattern out of 2D shapes, there have been lots of opportunities for thinking, problem solving and challenges.

In our literacy this week, we revisited our ‘a’ sound spelling pattern, using a-e, ai and ay. The children used active strategies to consolidate their learning. We also re visited the story of ‘The Obvious Elephant’ and played a fun word boost game, where the teacher gave a clue to someone about a word, and they had to figure out what word it was related to. We also played a game where we threw a beanbag back and forth – this one was a hit!

In other areas of the curriculum, we celebrated Fairtrade fortnight by creating some beautiful artwork. We drew chalk drawings of Fairtrade symbols and Fairtrade products, and painted lovely pictures of the symbol.

For our RE this week, we learned about God creating us in his image and what this means. We also learned about the three things that make us up as people, our mind, body and soul. We now know that our soul is what makes us who we are, and this is what connects with God, and goes to be with him in heaven.

AbdulHameed’s highlight of the week this week has been painting the Fairtrade logo! He enjoyed using the paints and also loved the chalk drawings.

Victoria enjoyed doing Word boost this week, she loved the beanbag game we played to revise all of our words.

Rose and Aaron loved creating their 2D tiling and they both thought it was so fun!

Faye enjoyed painting and enjoyed getting creative when making Fairtrade symbols.

Well done to our hot chocolate winner today Aaron!

Well done to this weeks secret student Katie!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
