Month: April 2020
This week, we are looking at the element of Shape as part of our Art topic.
Geometric shapes are usually simple and have a special name, such as square or circle. they don’t often appear in nature.
An organic shape is irregular and often curvy. They appear often in nature.
Here are some organic shapes we saw either in the garden or as part of our daily walk/exercise. Can you notice the different shapes we found?
Remember, to keep an eye out when you are outside to look for organic shapes.
Hi P3,
For some reason, the link in our grid for maths is requesting you to register so you can play-if you are having this problem here are other alternatives to help with time.
This game can be set at different levels to practise telling the time:

This looks at telling the time in words ‘o’clock’, ‘half past’ etc.

Topmarks has a selection of activities:

Your rainbow writing task this week based on ‘La Luna’ introduces a new colour; orange for openers. The document below will give you examples of different openers you can use in your writing. Maybe you can think of some more of your own…
Good morning Primary 3,
We hope that you and your families had a lovely weekend and managed to enjoy some sunshine during your daily exercise.
We have got lots of exciting activities planned this week and we hope that you enjoy them.
Last week we asked you to send pictures, stories and letters to Aaron House Care Home and we are thrilled to know that they were greatly received and cherished by all the residents and staff at the home. We spoke to Sharron from the care home who wanted us to pass on a thank you from everyone at Aaron House. You can read her email below:
Hello,
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank each one of your lovely primary 3 pupils at Sciennes Primary School for all their wonderful e-mails.
The Carers & Activities/Memory Makers Team have sat with the Residents and showed each of them, all the wonderful pictures & read out all the stories which even we the staff and carers have enjoyed.
We are very fortunate that we have had no little bugs at Aaron House and everyone is safe and well. The Residents however are missing seeing their loved ones, but your letters and pictures have really cheered them up.
Thank you once again from all the Residents & Staff at Aaron House.
Kindest Regards
Sharron Aitchison

Give yourselves a round of applause P3!! Well done and thank you for sending all your emails on, your kindness has made a big difference and we ask you to write about how this email has made you feel in this week’s learning grid. Please do not worry if you did not manage to send them an email last week, you can still do this if you would like or perhaps you might want to send an email on to a friend or loved one to brighten up their day.
We also hope that you have managed to watch the Toilet Roll Challenge, if you haven’t already, go and give it a watch. We are missing you all very much and wanted to say a big hello to all the children at Sciennes.
Have a good week everyone.
From all the P3 Teachers.
Hello Families,
I have received an email to say that the links did not work when trying to access them. Apologies for this. When we try and open them on our laptops they work.
If you are having trouble with them please search for BBC Audio Maths Rainbow Quiz and it should be the first result that appears. This is the link that we put on the grid for it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/audio-maths-rainbow-quiz/zhdvpg8
Then for this one https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000h2st/bitesize-scotland-primary-1-maths-1 please search Bitesize Scotland primary 1 maths 1 Snoot and Fin (the primary 1 is just the episode not the year group).
Again, apologies for any trouble you may have accessing the links and hope that this helps.
Thank you.
The P3 Team.
Some examples of the types of things you can include in a number of the day poster. Hopefully you can all do better than me with making it eye-catching and colourful though!
Hi P3!
One of your tasks this week for our Elements of Art topic is to investigate lines and complimentary colours. I had a go at it myself and have some pictures of each step you can follow:
You can use this song to help you find out about types of lines
2. If you have paint it works really well for the background but don’t worry, you can use pencils/markers instead.
When we created colour wheels in class we used the primary colours red, blue and yellow to mix secondary colours green, orange and violet. I painted each section of my page using a primary or secondary colour of my choice.
There’s a colour wheel below to help you.
3. Complimentary colours are colours that look nice when used together. If you look at the colour wheel, you can find complimentary colours directly opposite each other.
Blue is opposite orange; so blue and orange are complimentary colours that look nice together.
Complimentary colours are:
When the paint had dried I used pencil to trace over the lines using complimentary colours. If the background of a section was blue, I used orange to trace over the lines in that section. Here’s how it turned out:
Hope you enjoy making your own art using lines and complimentary colours. This is quite a big project that you can spend a while on. Remember, you can try out your own ideas too.
-BE CREATIVE!
Welcome back Primary 3!
We hope that you and your families had a nice relaxing Easter break and that you are getting some fresh air each day during your daily exercise.
Please see above for this week’s learning grid with lots of fun learning for you to do at home. Please don’t worry if you don’t manage to complete it all.
We hope that you enjoy this week’s learning activities.
From the P3 Team 🙂
Hi P3!
If you are looking for some art activities to keep you occupied, National Galleries of Scotland will be sharing a range of activities for all ages and interests every day.
They will be presenting live talks, quizzes to test your art knowledge, trips through their archives with their curators, plus challenges and projects to keep everyone entertained and busy.
It should link in nicely to our Elements of Art topic if you find yourself in a creative mood.
