In Literacy, we did some imaginary writing about a picture of a flying house and tried to include adjectives and openers. We continued our dictionary work and have learned how to search for words in the dictionary and put words in alphabetical order.

While learning about the Vikings, we looked at pictures of artifacts and guessed what colour they would be and what they were used for. Last week we thought that their helmets had horns but we now know that this was made up. We also looked at maps and explored the routes that the Vikings took to different countries.

In Numeracy, we have been learning about how to split numbers into tens and units and then practised addition using columns. We have also continued doing missing number calculations and tested ourselves with the Daily 10.

Hello Everyone,  welcome to P3a’s blog! We will be posting updates about all our learning alongside some pictures.

This week we have decided on our topic to learn about the Vikings. We have discussed what we already know and what we would like to know. Then we drew what we think a Viking might look like and included a background with what we think they might eat and where they might live etc.

In Numeracy, we have done a lot of addition and subtraction within and above 20. We have also done a lot of missing number calculations and some games to practise our number work.

In Literacy, we have been practising our spelling sounds and read our new books. We did some ‘All About Me’ writing as well as learning about how to use dictionaries.

With Mrs Dougel, we made dragons and tried to get them to fly. We also learned about the feeling meta-skill and made a kindness tree. We also loved our music lesson with Mrs Lyle where we practised singing and playing music games.

Another important update we wanted to include was that we said our goodbyes to Sylvia, the Head Cook, and wished her good luck and gave her a clap on her way out.

Below are some pictures of our Maths and Literacy activities as well as our Class Charter which we worked together to create:)
