Primary 3 Homework – 29th May to 4th June
On 5th June we are celebrating the 10th birthday of Ramsay Campus. A note about this went home on Friday, but in the happy rush of the Summer Fair some were left behind. If you would like another copy then please let me know.
I look forward to seeing many of you on Wednesday or Thursday. As mentioned in Mrs Donnelly’s letter a few weeks back, please let me know if you would like to have a look at the Living and Growing materials we will be using in June.
Best wishes,
Mr Buchan
Numeracy
Pupils have got to grips with reading measurements from different equipment, but quite a few are still shaky on remembering the different units.
Below is a link to a super game which revises everything we have looked at regarding mass, capacity and length.

Confusions to watch out for:
- The game talks about “mass” and “capacity” which are strictly the correct terms, but we have also talked in class about “weight” and “volume”.
- The game requires you to spell the whole words for units (e.g. “kilograms” rather than just “kg”) and we have not practised this very much (see spelling below).
Reading
Reading grids will come home as usual, along with unfinished quizzes on Thursday.
Spelling
As mentioned above, we have not much chance to practise writing out the full names of all our units.
gram kilogram
litre millilitre
metre centimetre
millimetre kilometre
Please could everyone look, say cover, write and check (twice through the list) and then write sentences using as many of the words as possible.
