P3P – Mrs Penman/Miss McKinnon

Welcome to P3P!

Term 2

Week 2

This week we have continued to work on developing our confidence with mental addition. We have been working on adding 10 and 100 to 1, 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers. We continued to work on connectives in grammar and our reading comprehension focus this week was understanding the meaning of new words in the texts we have read. In PE we enjoyed starting Scottish dancing with Mrs Windsor and fitness circuits. We have also shown resilience and patience during ICT this week when using Laptops for the first time this school year. They took a very long time to log on for some of us! As part of our puppets topic we have started designing our own finger puppets.

We had a lovely first week back in school last week. We started looking at addition in maths and have been working on our double facts. We also started looking at money and identifying different coins/notes. We have been continuing our work on using connectives in grammar this week and started focussing on our comprehension skills in reading. We enjoyed taking part in some Halloween activities including telling our own jokes, writing instructions for carving a pumpkin and making up stories with our Halloween Finger puppets. We enjoyed putting on our first puppet shows on Friday!

We have had a fun and hardworking first term in P3P. Please see below some of the things we have been doing.

Sponsored Walk

We enjoyed our Sponsored walk with P3DW! We had lots of fun and enjoyed having a play at the park after completing our walk!

Numeracy and Maths

This term we have been learning about place value, ordering numbers, rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100 as well as 2D and 3D shape. We have also been working on our mental addition and subtraction skills.
