Good Morning Primary 3,

It was so lovely to speak to some of you and your families yesterday. You have all been working very hard. I am so proud at how well you managing with your home learning.

I hope you are all enjoying your tasks this week. How are you getting on with finding some examples of tiling? Maybe you could share some of them with us on the blog post or on your online profile.

Here are some additional tasks for you to try this week. Remember these are optional and you do not have to complete these. Make sure you are taking plenty of breaks and not having too much screen time.

Maths

You have been learning about tiling this week. You can make some beautiful tiling patterns. Can you create a card for someone to make them smile with a tiling pattern on the front? You could colour in the pattern using all the colours of the rainbow. This could be for someone at home, a neighbour or someone in your close family or friends.  Here are some examples of a tiling pattern.

Literacy

There is a Sumdog Spelling Challenge for you to complete.  It will help you to learn your weekly spelling pattern.

I have written some sentences about my weekend however I was very sleepy when doing them and I think I have made a few mistakes. Can you rewrite my sentences and correct my mistakes?

Good morning Primary 3!   We hope that you have had a great week and enjoyed your learning.  We have loved seeing all of your work on your OneNote profiles this week – we’re so proud of all the fantastic learning that you’re doing.

It is Free Writing Friday today so you may wish to spend 5 minutes writing about a topic of your choice.  I think I’m going to write about endangered sea creatures as I’ve learnt so much from reading your fact files!

Reviewing our Learning

Today we are going to review our learning for the week and do some self-assessment tasks.  How have you got on with your learning this week?  Record your two stars and a wish for this week’s learning  in your jotter or on your OneNote profile.

Literacy

Our writing task this week was to make up your own potion after reading the story of The Personality Potion.  Today we would like you to review your writing using the success criteria below:

• include a title
• use capital letters and full stops
• use an adjective
• include a  drawing of your potion

Read over your recount and self assess your work using the success criteria above.  If you can find a pink pen or pencil you can underline in pink where you have achieved your success criteria.  If you have a green pen or pencil you can underline in green an area that you would like to improve. Share your self assessment with a family member.

Maths

In Maths this week we have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes. How confident do you feel in your learning?  Draw a traffic light in your jotter or use your OneNote profile to review your learning. Use the picture below to help you.

Setting Targets

When we’re in school, we always set personal targets at the beginning of the term help us to reach our potential.  We always think about targets for maths, literacy and health and well-being.  Have a think about what you would like to achieve this term and make a note of your goals in your jotter or on your OneNote profile.  We’d love it if you could share your goals with us!

Have a great day learning and try to get outside to enjoy the sunshine too.

from Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan

Good morning Primary 3!  I’m really looking forward to sharing your learning today.  As always, do what you can and what suits your family circumstances.  Be kind, persevere and stay safe. Remember that we’re here if you need to ask any questions.

If you have time today, you might like to make a Sound Map. This is a lovely peaceful activity that you can do inside or outside.   First you find a spot you like and stay still for 5 minutes.    Mark on your paper all the sounds you hear.  How many sounds did you hear? Tell an adult what you heard and how it made you feel.

Home Learning Grid

I’ve posted the Core Grid here for you to make it easy for you to access.

Core-Grid-Week-3-Primary 3

How are you getting on with your fact file about an endangered sea creature?   Try to include  a title, key facts and a picture.

Literacy – Spelling

I have set up a Sumdog Spelling challenge for you to try this week, linked to the words which you have been learning.  Have fun playing the games.

Maths – 3D Shapes

Today you could go on a 3D Shape hunt in the house or when you are out for daily exercise.  See if you can find these shapes:

• cube
• cuboid
• sphere
• cylinder
• pyramid
• cone

You could always take a picture of your objects and pop it on your OneNote profile or draw a picture in your jotter.

I hope you have a great day.

Good Morning P3.

Core Grid Week 1 P3

It is  a bit grey and drizzly  this morning but I’m looking forward to seeing all of your amazing work.   Remember that you can record your learning on the home learning page in your OneNote profile or in your jotter.  Each day we check the OneNote profiles and will leave feedback there for you.

How are you getting on with writing your description?  Remember, you can write about a hedgehog, your favourite toy or a pencil case.  Try to include a  title, characteristics and an evaluation.  Don’t forget capital letters and full stops.

If you are having any difficulty with any of the home learning activities please remember to ask your question in the comments section below. We will try to answer your question as soon as we are able to.

Numeracy

Today we’re going to solve a challenge!  Visit the nrich website for details  – click here.

The problem is that all the numbers have fallen off our class number square and they’re lying in a pile on the floor!  There’s only five minutes to go before school starts and we need the number square.

Can you find a quick way of putting the numbers back in their right places on the grid? 

Where will you start? 

Use the comments box  below to share your strategy for putting the number square back together.

Literacy

To support your learning in spelling, we have set up a Sumdog Spelling Challenge which will help you to learn the spelling words for your group.  The P3 Spelling Challenge is open today.

Have a lovely day P3.
