Respect, responsibility, kindness,
fairness and unity are Newton Primary Schools values. Children are expected to uphold these values at all times.
Efforts and high standards are expected
in Primary 3. Children are encouraged to always try their best and to take pride in their learning.
Children will experience a variety of
learning contexts in Primary 3. In term 1, our context is Amazing Atlantic Journeys.
Parents are important in supporting
learning. If you have a skill or knowledge to share, please let us know. We would also appreciate parent support for excursions taking place throughout the year. Thank you for your support,
Mrs Sharp and Mrs Clokie
