Sorry I did not put the homework last week. All homework jotters have grid stuck in. Homework is due Friday 5th May.
I have updated the primary three homepage. You can find this by clicking p3 along the top of the home page. Here you will find a brief overview of what we are covering in class until summer.
I would be very grateful if you could support your child with learning timetables, number bonds and doubles and halves throughout this term.
Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break. We have a jam packed summer term ahead of us.
As we have a short week this week, with the Monday holiday and our trip. We will have less homework. Homework will resume as normal next Monday.
Numeracy-Please continue to learn 2, 5 and 10 times tables. If your child is secure with these then move on to 3 and so on. You can do this any way you like.
Lot’s of games available on this link if you wish to use them http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/5-7-years/times-tables.

*NEW* Numeracy- Keep going with your Learnits. If there are any people who need new learnits can you write a note and let me know.
Learnits- The Rules…
The children are asked the question on the learnits card on several occasions and if they answer correctly, within about two seconds, they can have a tick. Once they have ten ticks they can throw the learnit away. Once the envelope is empty they can have some new learnits. You can keep the envelope at home until it needs refilled.
Don’t feel you have to do all of them at once. A few at a time is sufficient.

Homework 07/03/17
I must apologise for the lack of homework on the website last week- I totally forgot to put it on!
This Week
The Children have some assessment to undertake in class this week and have been bust revising Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday will be very tiring days for them and I expect they will be extra tired after school. Therefore, I have opted not to give any spelling homework out this week and reading to only a few of the groups. I am aware that most of the children don’t get to their homework till later in the week and I would like to take this extra burden from them this week and let them enjoy their clubs and daytrips etc.

Write words out 3 times each, in neat columns.
Write 3 sentences with a different spelling word in each. As we have been working on commas, try to use a comma in each sentence.
Maths
We have been working on Money and Finance in maths over the past few weeks. This week’s task is to help gain an understanding of budgeting and an awareness of costs.
Design your ideal Bedroom
You have an imaginary £800 to spend to design your ideal bedroom. Write a list of all the items you would buy with your £800. Write the price of each item beside it. You should use the Internet or shopping catalogues(e.g Next, Argos) to find actual costs. At the end, work out the total amount you have spent and how much you have left from your initial budget.
Optional – You may wish to draw a picture of your dream bedroom showing the items you purchased.
