WELCOME TO PRIMARY 3

SEPTEMBER 2024

Primary 3 have got off to a great start. We have had lots of fun settling into our new class and getting to know each other. 

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS DAY

Primary 3 enjoyed taking part in some mindfulness activities for Mental Health Awareness Day. We coloured in, went for a nice walk, made some buns and finally relaxed with some juice and biscuits.

AMBER

Primary 3 have an exciting visitor in their classroom. Amber is a special puppy who will be spending the year in Primary 3. We have already enjoyed giving Amber lots of snuggles. We are working with Fresh Minds Education to deliver ‘The Sunrise Programme’. This is a fun, interactive programme to help the children with emotional regulation, mental health and wellbeing. Amber will be well looked after in Primary 3!

ODD SOCKS DAY

Primary 3 enjoyed designing their own odd socks for Anti-Bullying week.

'BAARMY BETHLEHEM' PREPARATIONS

The P3s have been busy singing and preparing for their upcoming Christmas Show and can’t wait to perform for you all on Friday 13th at 1pm in the school hall.
Here is a sneak peek at some of the pre-show action. 

'BAARMY BETHLEHEM'

🎄Well done to our fabulous Primary 3 children who took us on an entertaining journey to ‘Baarmy Bethlehem’ today. We are so proud of you all ⭐️

P3 TRIP TO ARTHUR COTTAGE

The sun was shining for our Primary 3 children today as they enjoyed a trip to Arthur Cottage in Cullbackey. They discovered a lot of facts about homes in the past as part of their World Around Us topic ‘Houses and Homes’ before finishing off the day at the People’s Park in Ballymena.

OUTDOOR PLAY

Primary 3’s have been enjoying their brand new outdoor toys. We were able to buy these with the money raised from our Brewing Connections Coffee morning. Thank you to all the P3 parents for kindly donating the buns.

FRACTIONS

We are learning about fractions in P3. We counted sets of smarties and investigated how to find half of a number and a quarter of a number.

WORLD BOOK DAY

We came to school dressed in our comfy clothes. We found lots of comfy spots in our classroom for reading. We really enjoyed the book swap and everyone went home with a new book to read.

AMBER

Primary 3’s had a lovely morning at our Amber Graduation. They have been doing a super job looking after their class ‘puppy’ Amber who has helped them understand how to deal with tricky feelings and learn different ways to make their bodies and minds feel better.

PAIRED READING

We have been enjoying a paired reading programme with the P6’s. We went outside to enjoy the sunshine and read some books with our P6 reading partners.
