Well, here we are at our final full week of learning for this term.
I have attached the outline of our weekly timetable here:
One of my greatest regrets about the way this school year has ended is that the children have not been on a school trip – always one of the highlights of the year for the whole class, including the teacher! This week I have added a daily ‘Virtual Visit’ to a website which I think the children might enjoy exploring. I have added the web address for the whole site, but also picked out specific links for fun activities each day.
You will see that there are no new spelling words this week. In class we would be using this last couple of weeks to review our spelling from the term, so it might be an idea to revisit some of the spelling patterns we have worked on over the course of this term.
The Maths Mystery resources seemed to go down a storm with the children and so I have kept them going for this week. There are also instructions for the children to create their own numeracy board game, if they would like. Our Google Meet group playscript also proved popular, and so this week we will be performing ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’!
There is also a range of transition activities which the children can access. On the whole, the feedback from those children completing the activities last week was that many of them felt ‘ready’ and were excited about starting Primary 4, which was really encouraging for me as their teacher. While these activities are no substitute for the supportive discussions we would be having in class around this time, I am hopeful that they will open up conversations at home with your child around any worries or concerns they might have. There is also an opportunity for them on Monday’s activity to record their ideas for how we can make the end of Primary 3 memorable, and I would really appreciate their input on this. I have included a whole class drop in Google Meet on Friday so that the children can share their ideas – it’s bound to be noisy, but it will be lovely to see as many of them as possible in the one place at one time.
Finally, thanks to Penny’s mum for this link https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/ . The Summer Reading Challenge would normally be run through the local library, but the children can participate online this year. This is great way to keep reading going over the holidays!
Here’s to another great week of learning! Thanks, as always, for your continued support from home – it is very much appreciated.
