P3 Rm6 mrs salmond
In Primary 3, we enjoy a soft start each morning to help us settle into school, play with friends, and get ourselves ready for the day. During this time, we may read as a group with Mrs Salmond or take part in an independent task using our time management skills to ensure it is completed before the end of soft start. Before we start our lessons, we take time to go through the daily timetable and discuss the learning that we are going to take part in that day. There is also an opportunity for the class to ask questions about their week.
We work hard every day to read and write common words, learn new sounds and apply our knowledge of our sounds to our reading and writing. We also enjoy exploring numbers, apply our core learning in topic lessons and reflecting on our learning each week. We work hard to demonstrate our listening targets and work our way up the listening ladder. We enjoy sharing our achievements and work hard to win Table of the Week. Our buddies in primary 5 spend time with us once a week helping us read or play numeracy games with us.
We have been learning about our rights and how important these are to us. We have created our class charter and have chosen to focus on the following articles in our class:
- Article 12 – we have the right to have an opinion,
- Article 28 – we have the right to learn,
- Article 15 – we have the right to join groups
We are working hard to earn table points in order to be in for a chance of winning table of the week! Points are earned for lots of different reasons e.g., by showing good listening, using manners, being kind and respectful to others and showing good focus during learning. We can also earn House Points for being Ready, Respectful and Safe around the school and playground. Each of us has a classroom job that we change weekly, and we enjoy having the responsibility that comes with this.
In Term 2, Primary 3 Room 6 will explore a wide range of exciting learning experiences across the curriculum.
Pupils will retell and write events using time-sequence vocabulary, identify facts and opinions, and express and justify their views. They will continue to build phonics skills and enhance their writing using VCOP strategies.
In numeracy, learners will estimate capacity, create charts and diagrams, explore symmetry, and describe journeys using directional language.
Health and wellbeing lessons will focus on celebrating differences, managing risks, and building an inclusive school community. Through religious and moral education, pupils will learn about Christian beliefs and celebrations.
As part of our climate change context, pupils will use digital tools, design solutions, and think creatively about environmental impact. PE will continue to take place on Mondays and Fridays, and pupils will benefit from a variety of teaching inputs throughout the week.
