Welcome to Primary Three. Our teachers are Miss Hearty and Mrs Gould.

After reading some of the things we do in P3 you'll wish you were in our class! 

Literacy: In Primary Three we read, read, read - we love big books, we love to read together and listen to our teachers read. We learn how to become independent writers and ‘sound out’ tricky works. We can write reports, recounts and procedural pieces and we even create and write our own stories. Handwriting and letter formation is very important in Primary Three.

Numeracy: When learning Math we always do it in a fun way using practical activities and mental math games. We love using our white boards and when we show them to our teachers they can immediately see if we understand the work we are doing and give us help, if we need it.

ICT: In Primary Three we use ICT throughout the Curriculum to help us with our learning and make it fun. We have a CleverTouch board in our classroom and we really love using iPads to explore different learning apps.

The Arts: We are brilliant music makers in Primary Three! We enjoy making sound stories and using our percussion instruments. During Art lessons, we learn about different artists and styles. We make lots of different things out of junk art and recyclable materials. We have been developing our drama skills this year and love to take part in Conscience Alley, Freeze Frames and Tableau activities related to our topics!

World Around Us: In 'The World Around Us' we learn all about Ourselves, Weather, Toys, Materials and Animals. We plan our own investigations to find things out and we design and make our own models. We visit the Linen Centre often for fun learning workshops. We enjoy science and technology and learning all about toys from the past. We have lots of fun during Activity Based Learning - the practical activities help us to learn more about our topics.

Religion: We learn about the life of Jesus through the Grow in Love Programme. Primary 3 is a very special year for us because we will make our First Confession. Our class takes part in Shared Education and we enjoy fun days out with friends from Harmony Hill, as we explore different themes through PDMU.
