P3 Homework for Week Beginning 18th December

Primary 3 Homework – Week from 19th December

Because this is a shorter homework week, I have only put down a couple of things to look at. Homework jotters won’t come home, and we won’t be having new reading books.

I hope you all have great holidays.

Numeracy

We’ve been finishing strongly in numeracy, getting the hang of empty number lines. This strategy will provide a strong basis both for written techniques (i.e. chimney sums) and mental calculation. It would be great to cement this before we all head off. (As before, please practise suitable sums based on the examples below.)

23 + 34 =

141 + 26 =

352 + 124 =

228 + 236 =

356 + 244 =

 

Spelling

Our final dictation (Thursday) will focus on the ‘oa’ sound.

boat                 coat                 road                 groan               loaf

toast                soap                 just                  float

Last week we struggled with the ‘ai’ sound, so a bit of practice on ‘oa’ would be good to help us all to finish on a high note.

Primary 1 – 18th December 2017

Well done to P1 and P2 for their amazing performance of Lights, Camel, Action! I am so proud of them all for learning their lines, learning when to come on, singing so well, remembering their dances and most of all performing in front of so many people! I think you will agree they did a fantastic job!

If you have any school library books at home please can they be returned this week.

Tuesday and Wednesday this week the children will be preparing for an inter-house sing-off. The competition is on Thursday – a great many house points at stake!

Wednesday afternoon – Christmas party for P1 and P2. Please send in party clothes for them to change into if they want to. If you haven’t paid your £1 yet please can you do so.

Thursday: the whole school are taking part in a fun Christmas sing-a-long.

Friday we are walking to church for a Christmas service.

NB SCHOOL FINISHES AT 12:00pm ON FRIDAY.

Children return on Tuesday 9th January.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2018.

Regards,

Lisa Cumming

The final week has arrived! Here is a reminder of things that are happening.

Church – Friday 22nd- Our school will walk up to the local church for the Christmas service.

There will be no homework as such, although I have put a little challenge on Sumdog which has 50 simple data handling questions. Children will also be able to access this in school.

P3 Homework from 12th December

Primary 3 Homework – Week from 12th December

Thanks for all your support with the amazing tombs. I have put a short video on the school website which shows these off a bit!

There are lots of exciting things going on this week with the pantomime and getting ready for our Christmas Concert. There will still be time for writing and maths amongst it all though!

Best wishes,

Mr Buchan

 

Numeracy

This week we are hoping to consolidate addition with two digit numbers. Please could you ask the children to show you solutions using our empty number line strategy? (There’s no need to do all of these. Please just pick three at a suitable level.)

20 + 17 =

34 + 25 =

38 + 44 =

132 + 24 =

247 + 36 =

173 + 237 =

 

Reading

Pages to read at home will be written down in the grids as usual.

 

Spelling

Spelling words to practice this week are:

boat                 coat

road                 groan

loaf                  float

toast                soap

just                  used

Please could everyone do the usual look, say cover, write and check (twice through the list) and then write sentences using as many of the words as possible.

 

Christmas Jokes

We thought it would be fun for everyone in P3 to find or make up a Christmas joke. The children can then practice telling their jokes to an audience.
