Another busy week in P3A!
Literacy
This week we wrote a letter to Theresa Breslin and Kate Lepier about our visit to Dick Institute last week. We are going to type these up and send it to them. Katie was our star writer this week!
Katie: "It was fun writing the letter to the girls. I enjoyed telling them about how I loved sitting down and listening to their story."
We have started to read “Charlotte’s Web” in class. We are excited about this.
Numeracy
We took part in some bonfire code breaking activities. It was quite hard but fun. We were also doing some revision on our knowledge of number bonds.
Bobby: "We had all of these numbers and there were pictures you had to follow. Each picture had a value and we had to work out the calculation."
With Mr Hay, we have been continuing on with our Information Handling activities. We have been working on tally marks, bar graphs, pictographs and Venn Diagrams.
Alyia: "I was working on Venn Diagrams today. We had to sort information into different circles."
Health and Wellbeing
We have started to learn some of the techniques of Basketball in PE.
Neil: "We learnt how to keep the basketball under control. This is quite hard for some people!"
We have also been learning about medicine and how to ensure we keep safe when around medicine. We took part in a class quiz and got ALL the answers right!!
Tess: "Medicine can come in all different bottles and shapes. If you take too much medicine you can feel a lot worse than you did to start with."
Other Curricular Areas
We have set up out own one-drive folders on Glow. We can access this from home and save documents. Mr Hay can also see in our folders.
Oscar: "We went onto Glow into Microsoft One Drive. We made our own folder which Mr Hay can see into. I saved something in mine and it showed up on Mr Hay's computer! It was cool!"
We watch P5A’s assembly this morning about Ancient Egypt. Mr Hay quizzed us when we got back to class and we learned lots about Ancient Egypt.
Our new topic is all about Autumn and we have been enjoying collecting things for our autumn table – it’s nearly full!!
Harris: "I have brought in lots of chestnuts, leaves and acorns. I found them on my way to school and at the Mount!"
