We cannot believe Term 3 is nearly over! Time flies when you are having fun!
It has been a very busy week for Primary week. Here are some of the highlights;
In Maths this week we have been learning about division with remainders. We have learned how to work out division calculations using the standard method. This has been a big challenge for us but in Primary 3 we love a challenge! Here is a video to help us.
On Monday the SPL cup came to St Ninians with Lomond the Lion during our ‘Supermovers’ assembly. We loved learning to count and dance with Lomond.

We enjoyed playing football this week out in the playground for PE. We had a mini tournament allowing us to play different teams in our class. He have been developing our ball skills over the last few weeks and was great to see us apply these skills when playing a game.
We also got to take part in the Tennis festival at James Young on Thursday. It was a fantastic afternoon and we all enjoyed meeting boys and girls from different schools. We got to play some games using tennis rackets and balls to help develop our skills. We had a ball!
In writing this week we continued to develop our skills for writing a recount. We read the true story of Grace Darling and wrote a recount of the story. We know that a recount should have an orientation, sequence of events and a personal comment.
Tomorrow some of the children in Primary 3 will make the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They have been preparing very hard for this special day. Please keep all of the children in your thoughts and prayers as they embark on this journey.
Have a great weekend

James told us he was working on short division this week and found it to be fun. The video link is helpful for parents in understanding the way it is currently taught to the children – lots of the learning methods have changed since we were at school, but this is one that remains the same! 🙌
Outdoor PE and the tennis festival have been great for the children this week, lots of positive H&W benefits from all the fresh air! Pity about the trouser knees though 😬🤣
Good luck to all the children making their first Reconciliation this morning, they’ve all worked really hard preparing for it. It’s sure to be a special moment in their young lives 🙏
