In P3 we have been learning a little bit about our five senses as well as autumn and the signs of Autumn.  We have used our Outdoor Learning session to go and look for the signs of Autumn in our school environment.  From this we are hoping to write an Autumn Senses poem.

In Numeracy we have continued our work on Developing Number Knowledge and partitioning numbers (up to 4 digits!!!) and recognising their digit values. This was tricky to begin with. We also have been using our knowledge of numbers to compare and order a range of numbers from smallest to biggest. We enjoyed it when Miss Anderson wrote different numbers on the balls and threw them around the class. It was fun!

In Maths, we have started to look at 2D shapes and their properties. There are some with very funny names like a parallelogram and trapezium! We have been counting how many sides and corners each shape has. We also went into the playground to hunt for the shapes. Squares, rectangles and circles were the most common. We couldn’t find a single pentagon!

In literacy we’ve been reading – we like sharing our book with a partner in class. We have also started to look at comprehension. Did you know – comprehension is showing that you understand what you read.  We are also practising to write in proper sentences with a capital letter and a full stop, knowing when we need to begin a new sentence.

In Health and Well Being Mr Ross has been teaching us about having a Healthy Lifestyle and we made posters to remind us of this. To have a healthy lifestyle we need to; get enough sleep, eat a balanced diet, have a shower/bath, drink water, etc.  We also began looking at the five main food groups and identified foods which came from each group.

We are really excited to get started PE with Mr Sharp today and fingers crossed we can carry it on after the October holidays J
