It has been a busy week in P3b and we are very much enjoying getting back into the swing of things. We are continuing with a focus on Numeracy, Literacy and Health and Wellbeing and have begun introducing other curricular areas. The children are very excited to begin their topic about the Egyptians and came up with some fantastic ideas this week about what they would like to learn. I hope you enjoy reading the children’s comments below.

Please note we have outdoor PE on Wednesday this week and we will also be in the woodland on Wednesday afternoon. Wellies, waterproofs and a jacket are very much advised.

Our indoor PE day is Friday.

Numeracy & Maths

I like completing my workbook on Time. I have been learning about o’clock and half past and worked on the number of hours before and after. Ben

I really like doing maths because I find it easy but it can get trickier and trickier. I like giving my brain other things to do. Emma

We have been writing different times in our jotters. We have been telling the time on analogue clocks and digital clocks. Tia

I liked it when we used the maths books to learn about Time. You had to colour in the correct clock. Gaby

Literacy

On Thursday we read chapter 2 of The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark. Ruairidh

In writing, we had to guess what happened next to Plop and none of us got it right but some of us were close. Ruaridh

I really enjoyed doing the writing about Plop because I like writing stories. Myla

In writing we were focusing on beginning, middle and end and wrote a story about what would happen next to Plop. Tia

We really had fun drawing Plop after we had written our story. Ross H

We did a listening lesson and we had to listen to instructions read by Mrs Agnew who told us what to do on the picture. Emma

Health and Wellbeing

We have been talking about what makes us nervous and scared. Joey

I like when we did the expressions of what scared looks like. Ellis

I liked it when we stood up and Mrs Agnew shouted out an activity to do, like touch your head, if you have ever been scared of spider. Gaby

Mrs Agnew shouted out, ‘Show me a scared face’. Tia

Expressive Arts

This week we made pictures of Plop from our class novel, The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark.  Lewis

First we had to draw Plop by following some simple instructions. Then we got some tissue paper and scrunched it up and glued it on. We then glued our stick on and made claws, a beak and eyes from orange foam. We made the moon and the stars to finish off our picture. Ruairidh

I liked the part where we glued on the moon and when we drew on the stars with silver crayon. Emily

I really liked the part where we put tissue paper on our owls because I like scrunching it up and creating the detail and I liked drawing Plop. Tia

I liked it when we added the eyes and I liked it when we also drew Plop and stuck the tissue paper on. Gaby

I didn’t like the bit when we put tissue paper on our owl because it made me all  gluey and it took ages. Chloe

I liked when we drew the stars and stuck on the moon. Sophie

On Wednesday, with Miss Burdge, we voted to see which type of vehicle we were going to draw. We chose a fire truck and will keep working on this over the next week. Emily

Physical Education

This week we played Hula Hoop Showdown and you had to jump through the hoop until you got to the other person. When you met the other person you played rock, paper, scissors to see who could continue along the hula hoops. It was very easy. Kyler

If you met and you won rock, paper, scissors you could keep on going. If you made it through all the rounds you got to join the back of the line. It took a very long to get to the front once you were at the back. I really liked it. Lewis

I like when we played Tig as our warm-up. Japleen

With Miss Burdge we did lots of exercises in the Muga. Some of them where burpees, squats, jogging on the spot, star jumps and high knees. Kyler, Ruairidh, Lewis, Emily, Joey and Ross

I enjoy when I get tug in Disco Tig with Miss Burdge because I get to do a funny dance. Sophie

PE in the MUGA

In PE we played lots of team games. We also did some relay races and finished off PE with some circle games. Here are some photos below:

‘I really like the relay races’. -Sarah Mitchell

Active Spelling

In our active spelling this week we wrote our spelling words using, chalk pen, pebbles, chalk outside, rice trays, magnetic boards and playdough. ‘It was a bit tricky to find the letter ‘E’ in the pebbles!’ -Darcy.

Here are some photos:

 

Time Hunt

This week we have been working on time in our Maths lessons. We have been learning half pasts and o’clock. We took part in a time hunt.  ‘The time hunt was really fun’-Chenul.

Here are some photos:

Listening

This week in our listening lesson we had a picture of a girl blowing bubbles. We had to follow the instructions that Mrs Scoular read out. Here are some pictures below:

The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark

This week we read the next chapter of our book in class. ‘Plop met the old lady and told him that dark was kind’. – Zak.

We answered questions about the chapter we read.

Writing 

This week we had to predict the next part of our story, ‘The Owl who was afraid of the Dark’. We were so busy writing them that Mrs Nisbet forgot to take photos! Here are a few examples:

Mrs Scoular was so impressed and said we all worked super hard.

Art

In art this week we started to make our owl art. ‘We stuck our owl to a black piece of paper and then we scrunched up white tissue paper and covered our owl with the paper’. – Harris

We will upload the owls next week when we have finished them!

STEM

This week on Wednesday we made rafts. ‘We made them out of sticks, cellotape, rubber bands and a bin bag’. -Maira

‘I like testing out the boats on water’. -Millie

Health and Well Being

This week in health and well being we did a Bounce Back lesson. ‘It was fun to learn about health and talk about what we are scared of’. – Hadia
