Welcome back to our final term of Primary 3.
Term 2 was a very busy term as we prepared for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The children were a credit to the Parish, school and yourselves as they received this Sacrament. Thank you for your support and attendance at all masses and at the Retreat evening.
This term our Interdisciplinary learning theme was ‘The Romans’. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about different aspects of Roman life and relating their learning about the past to their own lives. We were able to attend a Romans Workshop delivered by West Dunbartonshire Creative Learning Team, the children participated well in all activities and were very motivated and engaged. We even got to dress as a Roman Soldier and discovered how uncomfortable the armour was! The children were delighted to be able to share their learning with you and complete a technology challenge at the Open Afternoon and we thank you again for coming along.
During British Science Week we enjoyed a number of Science activities. We particularly enjoyed our visit from Mrs Keenan who taught us all about the body. It was very interesting and we learned lots of facts!
As we move into the summer term we will be embarking on our new interdisciplinary learning theme with a focus on Science. We have been looking at ways to improve our school grounds and have been learning about planting.
In numeracy we will be focusing on using money. Please support your child’s learning by encouraging them to use coins at home and in the shops. We will also be learning how to weigh items and would encourage your child to be looking at food packaging at home.
This term we will have sports day and we hope you can come along!
Please ensure your child has PE kit with them every day to allow us to take advantage of the sunny days by having PE outside; you may wish to send suitable outdoor shoes for this. We would also ask you to provide your child with a water bottle every day.
Primary 3 has been a great year so far and we are very much looking forward to this term. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and support in making this a successful year for your children.
