P3C have had a super fun week!
Numeracy
In numeracy, pupils have been working very hard on multiplication. Pupils enjoyed different games of snakes and ladders, bingo and other activities to help practise their tables. Pupils worked on independently laying out their vertical multiplication calculations. Pupils worked on worded context questions to put their knowledge of their tables to the test. Pupils worked on finding the missing number or operator in a calculation – showing their excellent problem solving skills!
Literacy
Pupils have been working on their very hard on their spelling sound this week ‘wa saying wo’. Pupils created excellent silly sentences and stories using their spelling words. Pupils have been working hard on their reading books this week. Pupils had shown great understanding of their text through their comprehension. Pupils have been continuing working on their skill – skimming and scanning. Pupils began using dictionaries to help them correct their spelling and find definitions of tricky words.
P.E.
Pupils demonstrated excellent teamwork in PE this week. Pupils worked very hard on their relay races this week and encouraged each other by cheering their team on. Pupils then had the chance to create their own relay races to show the class.
Topic
Pupils have started their topic on the Olympics this week. Pupils will take charge on presenting the Olympics for next year. The class created a KWL grid on what they already know about the Olympics and what they would like to know. Pupils then used the Chromebooks to research the questions they had asked. Pupils had a look at different marketing strategies the Olympics have used in the past and what they would do to up level their own advertisement. Pupils then planned out their own Olympic medal and chose their favourite design.
