Good afternoon Primary 3,

We hope you have had another busy day, learning all about synonyms and exploring the number 30 (Mrs Welsh’s age 😉

It has been a great day for getting outside and working on some of the fitness tasks you have been set as part of our Fitness Fortnight.

Mrs Welsh tried to have a go at today’s Daily Challenge.  She did not do very well at all!  Did you manage any better?

Don’t forget to take part in this year’s Digital Ready Steady Cook. Use the Form posted on the general blog this morning to have a look at the entries and cast your vote.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Good afternoon Primary 3!

It was lovely to catch up with some of you again today on the telephone and to hear how well you are all getting on.  I hope the rest of you have all had a wonderful day too, doing some school work but mostly outside, enjoying the nice weather.  It has been perfect for working on some of those Health Fortnight and Sports Day challenges.  Have any of you managed to do today’s Daily Challenge, set by Mrs Messenger? It was quite tricky and I needed a few practice shots to get my aim right.

We also asked you to write a letter to your new teacher today and can’t wait to see what some of you have written!

Well done to those who managed to log on to Study Ladder today and have a go at the the data handling tasks: AC, EB, HG, AA, TE and JR in P3SW and MS, TG, NB, SK, MW, MA and EF in P3FW.

Finally, a little reminder that there will be a farewell event on Monday 22nd, if any of the you would like to say goodbye to your class teacher and to collect old jotters and work from your trays – bring a big bag, there’s lots!

Good afternoon Primary 3 – I hope you have all had a good day?

For literacy, you were asked to investigate antonyms, to practise spelling and to read independently. What books are you reading at home – we’d love to see some pictures of the front covers.

Some of you may have taken part in the Summer Reading Challenge in the past.  With the disruption caused by Covid-19 and the impact of social distancing on schools and public libraries, the 2020 Challenge will launch in a new digital format designed to keep children engaged and interested in reading. The Challenge will run from 5 June to mid-September.  Here is the link if you would like to participate.

Thank you to SK (P3FW) who sent in her Primary 3 reflection;

“I liked Gymnastics because I learned lots of new moves.  I enjoyed learning about the environment and recycling. I got to make sculptures out of rubbish. I also enjoyed art because I made lots of creations.”

One of your tasks in numeracy today was to log on to Sumdog and try the Tables Challenge.  Well done to those of you who had a go but don’t worry if you haven’t had a chance as the challenge will be available until Sunday night.

Thank you to LB (P3FW) who sent in some fantastic photographs of the amazing walking adventures he has been on over the past few weeks.  Look at the tadpoles he found whilst out and about!

Finally, remember to log on to the blog at 10 am tomorrow for the launch of our Health and Fitness fortnight!!
