We have nearly reached the end of term! We have had an extremely eventful week with our Christmas Party and Christmas Crafts.

Our party was great fun! We played many party games (musical bumps, corners and pass the parcel), we danced and had an amazing time with one another.  Look at our smiles in the following pictures ☺️.

In between our party snacks, we completed some Christmas Mindfulness colouring.

We used an art technique called ‘resist’ to create a Christmas Tree using oil pastels. We created a strong focal point in our art work with the use of complementary colours.

We created our very own table mats for Christmas dinner.  Using our creativity we designed them independently.  We cannot wait to use our table place mats on Christmas day!

For our Christmas Craft, we were inspired from COP26 not to use anything that included plastic. We wanted to do something for  nature and the wildlife. Therefore, we decided to create bird feeders! Our instructional writing was based on this too!

We cannot believe we are reaching the end of Term 2. It has been an extremely eventful week but an unforgettable one too!

We will not have a blog next week. Instead, we will post a Christmas video of us performing Christmas songs on our Google Classroom. We cannot wait for you to see it!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend Primary 3a. See you next week Superstars ☺️ xxx

 

Hello everyone,

Welcome back to our weekly blog. We have been extremely busy reinforcing our numbers to 100. We have been sequencing, ordering and identifying numbers before and after.

We have been learning how to tell the time!

‘We have been learning about quarter past and quarter to.’ – Emelia

‘Quarter past is when the long hand points to 3 and the minutes is 15.’ – Oscar

‘Quarter to is when the long hand points to 9 and the minute is 45.’- Yahya

‘The time tells you the hour then the minutes.’ – Adam

At the end of each day , someone gets a chocolate from our advent calendar! We come into school each day, super excited to see what our naughty elf Snowflake has been up to!

During Literacy, we had a debate and discussed the following statement in groups. We had to justify our reasons too!

Non-Fiction texts are more interesting than Fiction books.

‘I prefer fiction texts because they are more imaginative and more exciting.’ – Thomas

‘I think non-fiction books are more interesting because they have facts and real information.’ – London 

It is very important to continue our letter formation to ensure we have the neatest handwriting possible. Look at how neat our letters are!

We have been using our knowledge of nouns, adjectives and verbs to describe Christmas images!

We have been working hard to improve our comprehension skills by answering in full sentences and using the text to help us.

Skimming and Scanning is extremely important to help us find the main ideas! We will continue working on this skill to ensure we are answering questions with a correct and accurate answer.

‘Skimming is when you search for the main idea in a whole text quickly. You can normally find this information in the first line of each paragraph.’ – Fara

‘Scanning is where you search for key words in a passage.’ – Harrison 

We were using our scanning skills to find common words!

On the last week of school, we will have a little surprise for you on Google Classroom! We will have a video of us performing  some Christmas songs! We can’t wait to show you our singing. dancing and actions!

Wow! What a week! Although it is the lead up to Christmas, we are continuing to work extremely hard every day.

I wonder what we will be doing next week…!

Have a wonderful week! Love, Mrs Amin ☺️ xx

 

This week has been filled with many different learning experiences! It has been extremely enjoyable and we can’t wait for you to read all about it!

This week has been Road Safety Week and we have been focusing on ‘Superheroes’.

‘A road safety superhero is someone that helps you be safe on the road from getting hurt.’ – Scarlett

‘Superheroes are lollipop ladies and men, policemen/woman, firemen/women, paramedics and road constructors and many more.’ – Gurleen, Thomas, Harrison

During circle time, we had interesting conversations about different situations regarding Road Safety. We had to establish if the sentence had a hero or not!

‘For example, if someone was eating or on their phone whilst they were driving, they are not a hero.’ – Hasan

We participated in a Road Safety quiz! We are still waiting on the result to see if we won or not!

To promote ourselves being road smart and safe, we created posters!

Primary 3a had a letter received into class by the ever so famous Willy Wonka! He needs new recruits and asked if any of us would be interested in applying for job. We were extremely excited by this opportunity and wrote convincing letters to Mr Wonka to explain why we were worthy of a job in his factory.

In Maths, we have been exploring estimating and rounding!

We have also been learning about directions and movements. We have learnt how to use directions such as left, right, up, down, half turn, quarter turns, clockwise and anti-clockwise.

We have been using programmable toys such as Bee-Bots to help us practise our directions!

Today, we had the opportunity to use digital technology to play Kodable. This allowed us to practise core programming concepts through engaging games.

As COP26 is finished, we rounded it off by making promises on what we wish to do to help make a difference in the world.

Thank you so much to everyone who brought in books for our Book Advent Calendar. It has been lovely reading a different book each day!

It has been a wonderful week and today we ended this week with a Dress as you Please day! You all work very hard and blow me away every day!

See you on Monday and have a lovely weekend superstars!
