🎉 Welcome to Our Primary Three Class Page! 🎉

This year, Miss White will be guiding our amazing Primary Three class through a fun-filled and exciting journey of learning and discovery! Supporting us every step of the way will be our fabulous classroom assistants, Mrs Bailie and Mrs Connor.

Keep your eyes peeled for snippets of the incredible work we’ll be doing throughout the year! We’ll be exploring engaging topics like Food, Dinosaurs, Houses and Homes, Celebrations, and Forces and Magnets — and we’ll be taking our learning outdoors as often as we can to make it even more memorable. We’ll even be heading off on some brilliant trips, including Pizza Express in September and the Ulster Museum in March, to bring our learning to life!

In Numeracy, we’ll be working hard and having fun with Numicon, Izak 9, and our wonderful outdoor area. We’ll be counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s, and 10s, confidently using different operations within the 100 array, and challenging ourselves with Mathletics — aiming for at least 1000 points a week! We’ll be sharpening our problem-solving skills using RUCSAC, investigating maths puzzles, identifying 2D and 3D shapes in our environment, and learning to represent data using charts and tables.

In Literacy, we’ll be developing our writing skills across a range of genres including recount, persuasive, report, procedural, and narrative writing. We’ll continue to build our phonics knowledge through the Jolly Phonics programme and enjoy daily guided and shared reading sessions. We’re starting the year with a class novel — ‘The Twits’ — and we can’t wait to dive into the story together!

Some of our favourite times of the week will be our PE lessons. On Tuesdays, Miss White will lead us through Gymnastics and Dance, and later in the year we’ll be trying out Athletics. On Thursdays, we’ll be joining Graham from Actisport for energetic and exciting sessions that we always look forward to.

We’re also super excited for our Music sessions with Mr McVeigh, where we’ll be developing our listening and performance skills. Some of us will even be learning musical instruments with our talented tutors — and we’ll be showing off our skills during assemblies and plays! We’ll also be exploring different elements of ICT, using a variety of apps to build our digital skills.
