We are all looking forward to the new term in Primary three!  This week we enjoyed sharing our Easter Holiday news and getting settled back into class!

This term, our PE days are on a Tuesday and Thursday.  We are really excited that our Thursday lessons are with Mr Muldoon!

We are also having music with Miss MacDonald this term and are looking forward to learning all about African Drumming.

P3b will also have time with Mrs Thomson on a Thursday – we will be exploring Health and Wellbeing through drama activities and P3a will be with Mrs Logan every second Friday.

Our Library day is still a Thursday, so we need to remember to bring our book that day, if we want to exchange it for a new one.

On Monday, we will be coming home with a homework grid, like we used in Term 2.  Please can we keep this safe at home, and tick off the work as we complete it over the next five weeks.  Starred activities are to be completed once a week, and other activities can be completed in any order and at any time over the five week period.  We will also now be bringing home regular Maths homework to help us revise and consolidate our learning from Primary 3.  These will be issued on a Monday and are to be completed for the following Monday.

In Maths this term, we are continuing to explore and make multiplication arrays and will link this to division when we are ready.  We are also still exploring numbers, thinking about number order and largest and smallest numbers in a given group.  In Topic Maths we are learning how to estimate and measure length and will be using metres and centimetres.

We are continuing with our Romans topic for the next couple of weeks, where we will be working in groups to research an aspect of Roman life.  We will then be moving on to our Wedding topic – how exciting!

Please ask us to share our learning at home as we move through our final term in Primary 3.
