Good Morning Primary 3. I hope you had a lovely day yesterday. How are you getting on with your weekly grid? I have posted the link below for easy access.

Core Grid Week 9 P3 COMPLETE

Literacy

As part of your Literacy tasks this week you were asked to write a description of what you see, hear and smell when you were out a walk. Here is a short description of a walk I had to a waterfall beside my house. Hopefully it will give you some ideas for your story.

I see bubbling, rippling water and fluffy sheep. I hear rushing, cascading water over the rocks. I smell beautiful, colourful flowers.

See if you can think of 3 or 4 things for each sense and remember to use capital letters, full stops, exciting adjectives, conjunctions and challenge yourself to try and write in paragraphs. Good Luck!

Numeracy

We are looking at multiplication and division this week. Why don’t you play this game outside. Multiplication hopscotch. Challenge yourself to a game of hopscotch, multiplication hopscotch that is. Draw hopscotch squares number them 2 to 24 then get someone to ask you a multiplication sum from the 2 times table and see if you can hop to the answer. You can then change the numbers for another times table. Get some fresh air while skip counting and hopping!

Spanish Art

Click on the link below to hear some Spanish words and see how to make a Picasso mask.

Non- Screen Task

Get Building! You could build a lego model or a tower out of playing cards or anything else you may have in the house. You could take a picture of this and post it on your one note profiles.

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan.

Mrs Docherty Positive Song for the Week 1.6.20: Happy

Good morning everyone. I cannot believe we are in June already. You have all come a long way since the start of lockdown and adjusted remarkably to the whole new way of life we have been living.

June is a lovely month in school as it is a time when we reflect on the year gone by and we look forward to the coming year getting ready for new experiences and new challenges. It is always a happy time in school and so I have made our theme of positivity about Happiness this week both in our positive song and indeed our positive thought for the week.

There was only one song I could choose this week, the one that the children sing and dance to in school at Assemblies and during our Funky Fridays. It is a song that sums up our time in school when we are all together. It is of course the one and only Happy by Pharrell Williams.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM

Have a listen to it and please singalong and dance with your children to rouse that happiness feeling and positivity for the week. So come on everyone:

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

I hope this has made you smile and has been an upbeat start to your week ahead. Know that as a staff this will be our theme tune too for the week and please also know we are here for you at all times.

Have a happy, fun filled week and as always stay safe everyone,

Mrs Docherty Positive Thought For The Week: 29.5.20

Good morning as we approach another weekend and look back at what has gone we think of the word Friendship and realise that it has never meant so much as it means just now. As our Positive Song of the Week was I’ll be There for You we think about all of those whio have been there for us during th past 10 weeks and those who have supported us and each other in many different ways. The meaning of a true friend is summed up beautifully below:

A true friend is a friend who is always there for you. They standby you consistently both when you are present and when you are not.

Friendship can mean so many things to so many people but for us as a School, Friendship is one of our core values and one that is at the heart of everything we do and say. It is about support and kindness and this has not changed because we are not together. Indeed we have formed a stronger friendship as we all realise how important it is to be there for each other and how the smallest of things and the simplest of words can brighten up someone’s day or week. Just knowing that we are supporting each other and that we are always just a phone call or email away has meant we have been able to sustain and strengthen the bonds we have in our school community. As we continue to move forward and plan for the next stage please know that we are grateful to you and to your children for all you do to continue to make our school a special place to be in with special people to work with. Thank you.

Have a great weekend everyone and as always stay safe and look after each other.

Mrs Docherty

Mrs Wassell’s P3 Daily update 29.5.20

Good morning Primary 3! We hope that you have had a great week of learning and managed to enjoy the beautiful weather too. Can you believe that it is almost the end of May?

Below are some tasks to help you review your learning this week. Remember to keep trying if you meet a challenge. As the song says ‘It’s going to be a fantastic day!’

Of course, it wouldn’t be Friday without Free Writing!

What makes Free Writing Friday special is that no-one is allowed to correct your writing. Your spelling and handwriting don’t matter on Free Writing Friday. What matters is that it’s FUN. Spend up to 15 minutes writing or drawing. You can write stories, or notes from any exciting facts that you’ve found, or drawings, or comic strips, or ideas for films or little pictures of characters. You can write about books you’ve read or films that you’ve watched. This is YOUR writing.

Literacy

This week we would like you to self-assess your handwriting task. Use a pink pencil/ crayon to highlight words that you are especially proud of and a green pencil/ crayon to highlight words that you would like to improve. Remember to look out for:

finger spaces between words
writing on the line
tall and small letters
lead in lines and joins

Maths

This week we have been learning about division. Use the answer sheet below to traffic light your work.

spring division by grouping ANSWERS

Non-Screen Task Barefoot Safari

Some people believe that walking barefoot can help your well being. Create a sensory walk over 4 or 5 different surfaces. Outdoor surfaces could include long grass, bark, stones, leaf litter, fir cones or sticks. Indoors surfaces could include a blanket, icy water, bubble wrap, shredded paper. Focus on how it feels! Send us a picture via email if you’d like to share your safari.

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine.
