 Welcome to Primary 3 
Have a peek below to see what we will be learning in term
three.
LITERACY
NUMERACY
We are continuing to learn our letters and sounds
in our Literacy teams, where we use a range of
resources including Bug Club and Phonics Play. We
are going to have a big focus on writing
instructions, writing a recounts, understanding
their purpose and using sequencing language. We
will be using our VCOP skills in our writing, and
remembering their importance. We will continue to
develop our phonics skills, recapping on previous
learning and finding out about new sounds. The
children will complete work in class focusing on
reading comprehension and then at home the book
should be read for enjoyment.
In Numeracy this term Primary 3 will continue to
develop their mental agility skills everyday in class.
We will also be revising our times tables facts and
learning new ones.
We are currently learning all about multiplication:
recognising patterns, displaying large and small
equal groups, and calculating 2 and 3 digit numbers
multiplied by 1 digit number. We will also be
learning all about information handling; collating
and displaying information in various ways. We are
looking forward to learning all about 2D & 3D
shape too.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
We will be developing our classroom community
throughout term three. With Mrs Clark we will be
learning about and participating in large and small
ball games. Using our co-ordination and tactics
skills. Recognising the different skills needed for
different games.
In class we are learning all about the human body,
applying particular attention to the major organs
of the body and their purpose.
R.M.E
This term we will learn about the Christian
celebration of Easter.
I.C.T
Primary 3 will be using I.C.T. to research our
personal interests. We will use games and word
documents to practice our mouse and keyboard
skills.
SOCIAL STUDIES
EXPRESSIVE ARTS
SCIENCE
We will be looking at our
lovely town, Kilwinning
and the landmarks within
it, which make it famous.
We are so excited about
learning our Burns poem
Mrs Nae Offence. It is so
funny!
We will transform the
Learning Zone into a
Pirates paradise;
showcasing everything we
will be learning about our
big topic…Pirates! Shiver
me timbers!
We are looking forward to
spending time with Mrs
Greir developing our art
skills, creating our very
own art gallery, which will
be displayed at parent’s
night. We will be focusing
on the work of Paul Klee.
Our wonderful artwork
will be displayed in the hall
on parent’s night for
parents, carers and
friends to purchase.
In science we are going
to be learning to explore
properties and sources
of materials. We will be
organising them into
different groups and
investigating materials
that will dissolve.
 HOW CAN YOU HELP AT HOME? 
On the class website there are lots of links to games for children to play to develop their math and literacy
skills. Try to encourage your child to read their books and have fun! We will have a big push this term to learn
all of our times tables facts so please practice this at home if you have a free minute. If you would like any
more information please feel free to ask. We are always on the lookout for volunteers to help with different
learning stations and games. If you are interested then please let a member of staff know.
