This week in P3b we have loved sharing our presentations with each other.  The children have put so much effort into their presentations and really considered how they would share their research with the class. There has been lots of humour also which has helped to make the whole experience really enjoyable. Here are some photos of us sharing our hard work…

   

   

   

   

   

   

Numeracy and Maths

Across all groups we have been focusing on number. Some of us are multiplying by 2, 5 and 10 and using different strategies to answer a calculation. Have a look at our strategy mats below.  Others have been focusing on vertical calculations. We continued our short block on measurement by looking at weight and the different units of measurement. Next week, we will be estimating and weighing items with scales.

   

   

   

   

   

Literacy

We have had a big focus on sequencing this week and showing our understanding of a text by putting sentences in the correct order. Some of us also created storyboards to show our understanding of a story, our illustrations were amazing! We are starting to learn about ‘openers’ and ‘connectives’ and will be introducing these to our writing over the coming weeks. We also enjoyed planning our comic strips and look forward to creating these during our writing lesson next week.

Science

Alongside our presentations we completed our own research in pairs about the sun and were tasked with creating a fact sheet.  This also helped to develop our ICT and online research skills. Next week we look forward to learning about the moon, including the phases of the moon and star constellations.
