This week we have been very busy!

We have been able to write letters to our P3 teacher to introduce ourselves. We included lots of interesting questions, a fact about us and our goals for next session.

We had a little time reminder. We worked on our mental maths and were really fast and solving some problems.

We had a wet but fun sports day! Well done to everyone who took part.

P3 had created some games using magnets and we were very lucky to get to play some of them and learn the rules.

We have some special cards in our bags.

Have a lovely weekend!

We had lots of fun preparing for Sport’s Day this week. We practised for the different races and completed the trim trail water challenge. We also played football matches for house points. There was lots of good learning about good sportsmanship and working as a team.
Our class trip on Wednesday was an adventure. We learned about fire safety and cooked pancakes on an open fire. We also went on a long walk to explore a new area in the local community. There were opportunities for free play, arts and crafts and team challenges.

Today we celebrated the new celebrity in our class! Well done to Zara who came 2nd for her joke in the Voice Box competition. We are all so proud.

We wrote a letter to Mr Mouse, to warn him about the big bad things he might come across in the woods.

We began making some beautiful cards.

We have been focusing on how we can edit our own and other people’s sentences. We have been able to act like teachers and remind everyone of the correct punctuation!

The whole school came together with Miss Donaldson to share their reflections on this school year.

Have a lovely weekend!

Have a lovely long weekend everyone!
