This week we have been learning about skin and why it is a very important organ in our bodies. We learnt about what it does to protect us. We learnt how to use Book Creator on the iPad to make a book showing all of the things we had learnt. We had to include a title page, introduction, headings, facts, images and an ending. Book Creator is great because we can change the background, change the size, font and colour of the writing and add lots of images.

In Numeracy, we have learnt how to use Split Strategy to add 2 and 3 digit numbers. It involves splitting the numbers into hundreds, tens and ones or just tens and ones, and then adding these together before putting all the answers together to get the final answer. With bigger numbers it can be helpful to write out each stage.

In Art, we have learnt about Fair Isle patterns and then used this style to decorate a Christmas stocking. They look great and we have put them up in the hall to decorate it for Christmas.

In Health and Wellbeing, we thought about our needs and wants. We discussed certain things like money, food, medical care, clean air and education. We discussed that needs aren’t always available to everyone in the world. We thought about how our needs link to the Rights of the Child and how these aren’t being met for every child in the world. We thought about some of the small things that we could do to help like giving food to a food bank, donating to charity, walking to school or recycling.

In PE, we did a Minecraft yoga session.

Today, the P3s shared an assembly about Childline and the importance of asking for help if they need it. They learnt the phone number and wrote the names of trusted adults that they could talk to. The P4s will be doing this next Friday.
