February Class Blog

P3a share a bit about what they have enjoyed and learned in February:

Sareen- We got to decorate Hiccup and Toothless using tissue paper. We also moved onto our next big questions ‘what different sea creatures are there?’

Grace- My group in maths are learning staircase division. We have been using the stations, maths, writing, creative station, topic station. We have been writing stories about our novel ‘How to train your dragon’ and wrote a story as if we were climbing into the dragons den.

Adam- We had our Eurovision song contest, we won and had a continental breakfast. We had croissants fruit and juice.

Nadine- We were learning about camouflage in science and my group are learning staircase division in maths. We also have new colouring pens.

Charlotte- Our group has been learning vertical multiplication. I feel like I am getting better at it.

Savyasachi- We went to the science centre on a white star bus. I saw different parts of bodies and at the end we watched a movie about under the sea and we wore 3D glasses. My favourite part was running in the hamster wheel.

Elisa- We have been learning about different sea creature: sea turtles, octopus, crab and jellyfish. Sea turtles don’t breath under water. We have also added new prises to the star of the week bag.

Parisa- Yesterday my group was chosen to do the Easter egg hunt. Inside the Easter eggs were our spelling words. Our sound is the ‘ou sound’.

Naomi- In the creative station we are to draw a space picture and I drew one with the planets and the sun and stars.

Matthew- We finished off our big questions about astronauts and the different planets in our solar system. I enjoyed creating a poem to remember the order of the planets.

Michael- I liked the science centre. There was a body parts sections, you had to take the organs out. There was also magnets and you had to put them in a weird shape. There was a soft play and there were sideways houses also a water bit to play in. My favourite part was the dance floor.

Francesca- We made portholes out of paper plates and paints. We stuck the two paper plates together and stickers and drawings inside.

Georgia- We designed some butterflies and then camouflaged them about the room.

Rory- In my maths we have been learning staircase division and using remainders. When we were at the science centre there were 3 floors, my favourite floor was the top floor the body floor.

Louise- We’ve made some space leaflets and used the chrome books to search facts to put in our leaflets. We then decorated them and drew some space pictures.

Mia- in my group we have been learning division and remainders. We have maths stations, we can do different activates at the maths stations. I enjoy the maths board games.

Carson- We made some crosses to put on our window and the sun has been shining through! At maths we’ve been doing staircase division with remainders. If you’ve done well Miss Hillhouse will give you challenge questions. I like the challenge questions.

Kye- We have been learning about sea creatures. The biggest octopus is 9 meters long, the same length as our classroom. Sea turtles can hold their breath for 5 hours and breathe the same air as humans.

Cillian- I enjoy doing the daily mile. We have been doing gymnastics, we have learned a barrel roll.
