Another very busy week in P3.  There was a focus on the 10 times table in Numeracy. We also had loads of fun activities in the lead up to Bonfire Night.  The children learned a lot about the importance of staying safe during this time of year.  On the 5th of November we learned about the science behind fire and what is needed to keep a fire going.  Understanding what happens with fire is vital when it comes to fire safety.

 

We made sure everyone was a safe distance away.

 

After we collected wood (fuel), we then had a go at starting the fire without matches or a lighter.  Instead we used flint and steel to make a spark to light cotton wool and petroleum jelly.

 

As the fire got bigger we decided to add our very own Guy to symbolise the history behind the festival.

 

 

 

Also this week, we were learning about Remembrance Day.  We focused on how we thought people involved in wars would feel.  In groups we thought about what questions we might ask or what we saw in photos from World War 2.
