Primary 3

Hi everyone

Another very busy week in Primary 3!

During Catholic Education Week which continues next week too,  Primary 3 showed great insight and maturity in their understanding of what poverty means – in terms of what you really need to survive.

We have been celebrating Book Week Scotland this week.  On Thursday we were able to ‘Bring a Book to Lunch’ on Thursday which was fun! Along with Primary 4, we were also lucky enough to attend an Author Visit event at the Lanthorn Library. We actually got to meet Badger the Mystical Muff – wow! Here are some comments:

“We love reading…” and “This was the best day ever!”

This morning it was the gifting session of our Primary 3 Bookbags as part of the Read, Write, Count nationwide initiative. Thanks so much to the parents who were able to manage along to our event. We hope it was informative as well as enjoyable for you too! The presentation powerpoint and other documents will be available via the app for you to access.

In Number, Primary 3 have begun to look at Subtraction and have really been focusing on the thinking process they use individually. To support this they have been recording their thinking on a number line – this has proven a little tricky as Primary 3 have also been challenged to create their own number lines. We have been using maths language such as to the decade, crossing the decade, multiples of ten, single digits etc. We will be continuing to build on this next week and use the context of our Enterprise topic to add/subtract money.

Next week, Primary 3 will be busy preparing for our Lollipop stall…. They will be working in teams to create the lollipop bases and make posters etc. A huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to donate lollipops, shoe boxes and prizes – it is much appreciated!

We hope you all have a lovely weekend!

From Mrs Scott and Primary 3.
