This week P3 wrote fantastic stories about a puffin rescue. They used our Call the Puffins class novel as inspiration. We worked on including an introduction which told readers who the story was about and where it was set. We tried to include some description about what our characters looked like and how they were feeling.

In Numeracy, we have been sequencing numbers to 1000 in 10s and numbers to 10,000 in 10s, 100s and 1000s. In Maths, we made bar graphs outside on the playground using chalk and natural materials.

In Health and Wellbeing, we brainstormed ideas on how we can cope with challenges. We came up with lots. We also discussed big problems and little problems and how we can solve them. Big problems need an adult to help sort them out but little problems we can sort out ourselves by using some of the strategies we came up with. We acted out scenarios of big and little problems and how we can solve them.

In Art, we have made beautiful mixed media images of harvest fields with corns. We used crayons to design a ‘patchwork’ background of fields. We used bubble wrap to make our corn. We cut out the shapes and then painted the bubble wrap yellow and orange. We have stuck our corn with leaves onto our backgrounds. They look great!

Today we had our first Committee meetings. Each Committee got together and made a plan for the year.

In Outdoor Learning with P2/3, we had a tallest tower building competition. We had to work well in our teams and be resilient to try and build the tallest tower out of natural materials. Everyone was very creative and teams did work well together.

In PE on Tuesday, we played mini netball in just a third of the court. Today we learnt about how to hold a rugby ball and how to throw it backwards.
