Welcome to Primary 3 with Miss Mckenzie
We have had a fantastic start to P3 and have settled into our new class very well. The class have been working hard on their novel study "The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch" and are now starting a new topic which is "The Vikings". The children have really enjoyed all of the new fun maths games we have and also spending some time in our quiet classroom reading corner. As a class we created a fantastic class charter based on our rights and responsibilities which help remind us of the classroom rules. P3 want everyone to know about their new class pet "Sammy the Clammy who we have been taking very good care of. Sammy likes a quiet class so we are trying to work a little quieter for her. 
For our novel study "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch", P3 had a great time making sandwiches for Mr Grinling! We chose healthy fillings and talked lots about what kinds of foods are good for us. The children also had lots of discussion around halves and quarters when deciding how they would like to cut their sandwich.
This week was maths week where we have taken part in lots of exciting challenges. The children also challenged themselves with a new (and very tricky) maths game! This took lots of patience and team work. Well done P3! The class have really enjoyed Friday's "Big Maths Beat That's" and everyone improved their score this week from last!
