Week beginning 03.09.18

We have had another busy week in P3D!

Unfortunately there are not many photos to show for it.. (must get better at taking the ipad out!)

 

Maths

We have spent the last 2 weeks of ICT logging onto Sumdog which is a website that offers lots of numeracy games. Once you have completed a few games, it gives you games that are suited to your exact level.

As a class we have been practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s and linking this to the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We have been joining in with some Youtube videos which we have loved as they are very funny with things like dogs in spacesuits and characters with shoes on their heads?! Here are the links in case you want to keep practising and improving at home too..

Writing: character descriptions

In writing this week we were doing another character description. We could choose from 6 characters to write about including Sonic the Hedgehog and Ash from Pokemon. We had to write about their voice, what they looked like and their size. Our challenge was to try and include a SIMILE. We have been learning about similes and how they compare one thing to another.

 

Gym: ball skills

In gym with Miss Macrae we have been improving our ball skills and throwing and catching games. She has been very impressed with our behaviour and listening skills in the gym hall.

 

Circle Time: Targets

In Circle Time this week we have been discussing our targets for term 1. We then  completed a target worksheet to go into our learning journeys to share our targets with parents and adults at home. These will be coming home next Friday.

 

Topic: Our Caring World

We have been thinking about WANTS and NEEDS. We drew around a child from the class and then were given post-its. On one post-it we had to think of something that we need to SURVIVE and stick it inside the outline of the child. On the other post-it we had to think of something we WANT but don’t need to survive. This was stuck on the outside of the child.

 

Well done everyone for your hard work this week. Have a lovely weekend. Miss Dow 🙂

  1. My word busy Beavers you have been in 3D…..
    Conor enjoyed the “Our caring world” topic and told me all about it. This is a good link with Miss McKay’s teaching in assembly ….. we have had some interesting chats around this!
    I am keen to see what the targets for the term are..I do like the leatrning journey’s they are great to help parent see what he children are doing.
    Not being very techy I am struggling to figure out how to save the number videos… catchy wee tunes are great for our learning so will keep trying! We have all our sums up on the wall and are practising the learn it’s..think Conor is getting faster at them👍🏻
