We have worked incredibly hard this week practising for our show and we are becoming more and more excited as the day of our show draws closer!

We had a lovely time creating some back drops for our stage whilst singing along to the songs for our show. We were very much busy little bees and there was a wonderful atmosphere in the classroom. It helped that the sun was also shining!

There has also been lots of interest in learning about bees. Some of this has been planned learning and some of us have spent time reading non-fiction books in the library or completing their own learning at home. We loved it when we spotted a bee in the gym hall during one of our practices and we now know how important bees are!

   

   

Numeracy and Maths

We finished our learning on Data and Analysis by completing our own bar chart using Google Sheets (Excel). As you can see from the pictures we did an amazing job and were very proud to put our printed chart in our jotters. Just ask us about the features of a bar chart! We have moved onto learning about greater than and less than and will continue with this next week.

   

   

Literacy

Some of us worked hard creating a non-fiction report this week to show our understanding of a non-fiction text. Others have been working on reading a sentence then drawing an illustration to reflect our understanding. We have also practised our spelling words through Active Spelling and Roll and Read activities. We have been adding  more description to our writing so this week we learned about ‘powerful’ adjectives and the difference they can make to a sentence.

Thank you to everyone who has provided a costume for our show. We can’t wait to perform it to you next week!!!

We have had such a busy week of show practise and we are all doing an amazing job of learning our lines, practising standing in position on the stage and coming up with some wonderful actions for our songs. There is quite literally a ‘buzz’ in the air!

Numeracy and Maths

We have continued with Data and Analysis and worked extremely hard on our bar charts ensuring we had all the important features. We have learned to display data in a variety of ways along with completing our own questions for a survey.

Literacy

This week for writing we wrote an imaginative piece about a camping adventure. We focused on adding description along with adding sentence openers to make our writing more interesting and more exciting for our reader. Some of us have continued building our dictionary skills by finding the definition of words we are unsure of and we had another go ad visualisation where we listen to an extract from a story and draw what we think is happening…our illustrations are wonderful and we really use our imagination!

Science Week

We enjoyed a live show on Tuesday about Minibeasts. This was a wonderful introduction for us as we will be looking at Minibeasts next term. Here we are watching the show and then pretending to be different Minibeasts including a Dung Beetle and a Bee or Wasp.

We also discussed how we can eat in a more ‘planet friendly’ way and how we can be more sustainable. We looked at where different foods are grown and the ‘food miles’ it takes to make something simple such as a burger. We then created our own ‘planet friendly’ burgers.

   

   

   

Physical Education

On Friday, we enjoyed a lovely sunny game of Rounders. We are building our team-working skills along with our batting and running skills. We are learning a lot about communicating with our teams.

 

We have been very busy bees in P3b practising for our show. We are really enjoying the songs and lots of us can be heard singing or humming them to ourselves. We have also been learning about bees through our Literacy work and enjoyed creating our comic strips about the day in the life of a worker bee. We are sure you will agree our illustrations are amazing and our captions really showed off our knowledge of the worker bee.

   

   

   

Numeracy and Maths

Most of us have been working on Data and Analysis. We started off creating our own tally charts and pictograms and have progressed onto drawing a bar chart. We will also be creating and carrying out our own surveys and then displaying our data. We also plan to have a go at creating a bar chart using Excel.

Health and Wellbeing

This week we began a short topic around Healthy Eating, Personal Hygiene and Germs and Diseases. This week we learned about the different food groups which are important for our bodies to stay healthy. We sorted foods into two groups – Health and Unhealthy and then created our own healthy meal on a paper plate.

   

Physical Education

Mrs Agnew sneaked along to our PE lesson with Mr McMillan and took some photos of us. We are focusing on gymnastics which includes balancing, jumping and rolling.

   

   

   

We are so creative!

We have continued to really show our creative side in P3b.

Theo, Charlie and Zack created the Leaning Tower of Pillows.

   

Some more wonderful tiling designs. Mia made a design in the shape of a dogs head.

We have had a wonderful week in P3b celebrating World Book Day. We took part in ‘Stop, Drop and Read’ within class and also took part in the book swap with our peers, some of us were quite happy to continue reading our own book. During this time we enjoyed a lovely snack and  spent time either reading or sharing our book with others. It was a great opportunity to explore books we may not normally read. We do have lots of Harry Potter fans in P3b with a total of 8 Harry Potter books brought into class!!!

We also created some silly stories by passing sheets of paper around the classroom and everyone wrote part of the story. There were lots of giggles which could probably be heard throughout the school. Here are some pictures of us enjoying our stories…

   

   

   

   

Numeracy and Maths

Whilst we continued with our number work this week, we were very excited to start learning about 2D tiling. We are a very creative class and some of the designs we made are amazing!

   

   

   

Literacy

We continued with our dictionary work this week and absolutely loved a team game of ‘spot the word’. We were incredibly excited and it also helped us to work on our skimming skills too. We also finished off our comic strips and Mrs Agnew is absolutely delighted with our finished pieces. We have included amazing illustrations, fantastic speech bubbles and really interesting captions.

   

Sometimes in P3b we are given some free time to explore. Many of us are really interested in the peg boards at the moment. I am sure you will agree that our creations are lovely and some of us ideas really show how well we use our imaginations!

   

Magnus and Ibrahim created the flag of Pakistan.

   

Kayla created a unicorn.

P3b Show

Over the next few weeks we will be working really hard practising for our show. This week we began to learn the songs and were given our parts plus our scripts. We are very excited to share our show with you but have lots of work to do first!
