Welcome to P3SG! 😊
In Primary 3 we are learning to tell the time. Today we made clocks using hula hoops and added labels for o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to.
Our clocks have two hands - we are learning about how important it is to remember that the longer one shows the minutes and the shorter one shows the hour.
Miss Greene was very impressed that we worked so well as a team and made sure that everyone in the group had a chance to contribute.
The children have learned the following sounds so far in P3. They have been spotting them in their reading books and using them when spelling and writing: ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ir, air, oy
Check out the video of the children saying the sounds and the special rhymes they use to remember how to say them!
Below are the focus words that the children know for each sound. The children have these words on cards as they have been sent home as part of their homework each week throughout the first term.
