This week P3/4 have been writing a story set on Mars. We were inspired by a story on Newsround. We had to describe the setting and our characters. We have been working on including connectives, openers and descriptive language. Some children have also been working on adding paragraphs. We are all editing our work to check for missing full stops or capital letters. We use coloured pencils to underline where we have used the things we are looking for in our steps to success.
In Numeracy, we have been completing some mini tests to check what we have learnt this term!
In PE, we learnt to move with a hockey stick and ball. We had to dribble around cones.
In Outdoor Learning, we used natural materials to create shapes, lines and patterns.
We have been thinking about how we can share facts with a partner and how we can show good listening when our partner is sharing with us. Half the class took notes about oystercatchers and the other half about puffins. Then we shared what we had found out with our partner. We used peer assessment to record how well we had done.
We are going to do a ‘reusing’ project to help the planet. We are going to make pencil pots using the milk cartons in school. We made posters to ask other classes to collect them for us. We have been washing them and cutting the tops off. We tried sanding them to see if the paint would stick better. Ut didn’t work all that well so we will have to think off another option!
Have a brilliant holiday, everyone!
