Literacy
Writing
This term we have been learning all about what makes a Super Sentence! We have been learning how we can use COPS to make our writing the best that it can be.
Reading
We love Shared Reading time in Primary 3. We have been loving hearing all about different stories including The Colour Monster Goes to School, Seren’s Seasons, Little Acorns and Don’t Hog the Hedge!
Language & Grammar
In Language & Grammar we have been revising all of our knowledge from Primary 2. We have been busy doing lots of work on capital letters, alphabetical order and using a picture dictionary.
Phonics
We love learning our new sound every week. We spent some time revising our diagraphs from Primary 2 before moving on to learn some brand new ones.
