P3 learners have been busy researchers this week 📚✨ Using non-fiction books from the library as well as iPads, they gathered facts and brought them to life in their own explanatory reports. So proud of their curiosity, effort, and growing confidence as young writers! 📝🌟

P3’s home leaning is non-fiction books borrowed from Denny Library📚 Please take extra time to explore key features together—headings, subheadings, contents page & facts. This will really support their understanding. Could books be brought to school each day to support Talk 4 Writing tasks.

P3 are excited to start picking their non-fiction books @mrf-stp.bsky.social

P3 enjoyed participating in a Building Thinking Classroom routine to support their application of multiplication and division to solve a problem.

This weeks spelling words. We are on week two of reading books.

Super work Mollie! You have really impressed me with your numeracy work done at home ⭐️

Walk to School Week next week. Please see flyer below for details.

🧠✏️ We’re learning to organise our thoughts by taking notes on key ideas from what we have watched in Newsround. Using mind maps is helping us make connections and deepen our understanding! 📚✨

🍪✨ Another look at our P3 rainbow biscuit creations—each one topped with a colourful pot of “gold” and bursting with sweetie-filled fun! 🌈

🌈🍀 P3 got creative in the kitchen, making delicious rainbow biscuits topped with pots of multicoloured “gold” using all sorts of sweeties—fun, colour, and a little magic in every bite! ✨

🍀 Our classroom turned into a mini art studio this week as we painted vibrant shamrocks inspired by Kandinsky to celebrate St Patrick’s Day!

The screening of Toy Story 4 is well underway, tickets have been collected, popcorn opened, all viewers settled and enjoying their movie experience 🎞️🎥

This week’s spelling words. New reading books will be sent home today.

Last week, we practice note taking. We watched a video and used The 5 W’s as headings to help us organise our thoughts

Last week we used Colourful Semantics to help us create sentences using ’and’. Have a look at some of our work.

Here are some of our Leprechaun traps 🪤

We completed various tasks linked to St Patrick and Ireland.

More happy grandparents :)

A huge thank you to all the wonderful grandparents who joined us today for Grandparents Day! 💚 It was so special to celebrate together and share some St Patrick’s Day fun. The children loved having you in school! ☘️

New reading books and spelling words will be issued tomorrow 😃

During Area Exploring time, pupils engaged in creative building activities, using a range of materials to design and construct their own structures.

This week’s spelling words 🙂. We are beginning our second week of the current reading books.

P3 enjoyed #worldbookday2026

Non-fiction reading.

We leaned different features of non-fiction books.

We are moving into a non-fiction topic for T4W, where we will learn how to write a report. To help us identify the features of non-fiction, we explored a variety of non-fiction books.

We enjoyed Primary 6 pupils reading our favourite stories to us #worldbookday2026

Last week, we moved on to multiplication in Numeracy. We used concrete materials to help us make and explore equal groups of numbers. This helped us understand that multiplication is repeated addition. We focused on the 2, 4, 5 and 10 times tables.

Yorik, from Youth Music Initiative taught us a new song. Here is an example of two confident Individuals sharing it.

Last week, Primary 3 created their own pictograms. We learned that pictograms are a visual representation of data. We collected data about the pupils in our class and used this information to create our own pictograms.

To celebrate World Book Day, the Reading Ambassadors will be hosting a book swap across the school on Thursday. Children are invited to bring in a book they no longer want and swap it for a different one. 📚

This weeks spelling words. New reading books have been issued.

We celebrated our Reconciliation through art and shared times when we feel God’s love. Here are some examples of our work.

To build on our knowledge of Venn and Carroll diagrams, we learned about block diagrams and Bar graphs. We counted coloured cubes and used the totals to create our own block diagrams and Bar graphs, helping us to organise information clearly and compare quantities easily.

Last week, we revisited Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams as part of our data handling work. We learned that’s Venn diagrams help us sort and compare information by showing how different groups overlap, while Carroll diagrams allow us to organise data using two criteria in a table format.

More ukulele practise.

Last week, Primary 3 really enjoyed working with Yorik from the Youth Music Initiative, where they had great fun learning and playing the ukulele together. 🎶

In preparation for our Reconciliation, we practised The Promise Prayer with a prayer partner.

We explored historical timelines and practised our skills by mapping key events from the life of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Celebrating #ReadingSchoolsWeek by bringing our favourite books from home to read in class. @missmu-stp.bsky.social

No spelling words this week due to spelling assessments. Reading books will be sent home today. A gentle reminder to practise the Reconciliation Prayers sent home on Friday.

The key prayers for Reconciliation have been sent home. Please continue practising these at home until they are well known. Thank you for your support.

This week’s spelling words. We’re now in our 2nd week of reading books. Please continue to support your child by spending some time enjoying their reading together at home. We are also moving into week 7 of our Reconciliation learning and so week 7 in the home booklet should now be completed.
