Another very busy week for Primary 3!
SHELTER BUILDING – OUTDOOR LEARNING & TEAMWORK
The whole class showed their resilience and ability to cope well with change on Tuesday when our Shelter Building Activity was postponed at the very last minute. This was unavoidable due to the weather but we are delighted to announce that it will now be taking place on Tuesday 20 June in the afternoon (P1-P3 Sports Day in the morning)…..so watch this space!
RE/HWB
Primary 3 also discussed the importance of having enough sleep, rest and exercise each day. They were very good at explaining how they feel when they are tired and how this can impact on how well they concentrate in school.
In Maths, we were consolidating our understanding of Measure as well as looking at timetables and durations of time then combining this with some interpretation of diagrams. The boys and girls enjoyed using Mr McCurdy’s Health Week timetable to do this where they had to interpret the information to find out which day P3 were doing a particular activity, where the activity was being held, the time the activity started/finished then working out how long it lasted.
GLOBAL GOALS – Clean Water and Sanitation
Primary 3 have been really thinking hard this week about the availability of clean water in school (or at home) and clean toilets which flush – things we all take for granted. They saw images of poor toilets in some African countries for schoolchildren and had to imagine what they would do if they didn’t have access to either taps or toilets – not pleasant but the children were really engrossed and engaged in considering these situations. In writing they had to suggest reasons as to what might happen if there were not taps or toilets in St Ninian’s – ask your child to explain what they wrote about!
READING – Primary 3 have continued to develop their independence at making sense of what they read by accessing non-fiction texts and finding information from the texts to answer questions.

BIG TALK homework next week
Would you rather be the Three Little Pigs or the Wolf? Give your reasons!
Have a lovely weekend from Mrs Scott and Primary 3!
Thank you very much for reorganising shelter building! It isn’t easy to find time at this time in the term but Orla was so excited about it 🙂 love the talk Homework! Great job P3!
All credit to Mrs McMullen and Mrs Howley for the reorganising! I’m sure it will be a fabulous experience for all of the children! Glad the Talk Homework is going well – so simple but fun! Mrs Scott
What another busy week! I am delighted that the shelter building trip will be rescheduled. All the kids were so excited, but good decision to cancel due to the weather, the rain was terrible. Emily is really enjoying all the Maths work at the moment. When I am cooking in the kitchen, she is now questioning the measurements I am using. She is also asking a lot about fractions too, which is great.
Keep having fun. Cheryl.
