Wow, what busy busy week we have had in P3b. We are really enjoying listening to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and this week demonstrated our creative side by inventing our own sweets. Some of our sweets can turn your nose blue, make you turn invisible, cause you to always smell coconut and lots of our sweets last forever! We discussed textures and scents and gave our sweets really creative names.

Numeracy and Maths

Some of us have continued our work with subtraction. We completed lots of work with the tens and units materials to support our understanding and are beginning to learn how to borrow and exchange. Others have been looking at multiplying and dividing by 3 and have been looking at different strategies we can use to complete calculations.

   

Literacy

We have been looking at characterisation this week. At the beginning of the week we completed character studies based on one of the four children from Charlie and the Chocolate factory. We discussed what the character does in the story and chose adjectives to describe that character based on this information. We also discussed if we would like that child to be our friend.

For writing, in groups we worked on one of the four children including Charlie and created giant posters which detailed as much information as we have learned about that character. We then used this information to complete a table based on that character to show our understanding of the five points of characterisation.

   

   

Health and Wellbeing

After completing our experiment last week about handwashing, we know how important it is to wash your hands. This week we created posters which we will put up around the school to promote handwashing. We had to include the different steps you need to take and also included some interesting facts about handwashing and germs.

Outdoor Learning

This week we started minibeast hunting and had a lovely time searching underneath stones, leaves and in amongst the grass and trees. We loved showing out minibeasts off and were very careful when handling them ensuring we put them back in a safe place. This has got us thinking about their habitats and next week we will be learning more about this!
