From everyone in P3; Happy New Year!  We all hope you had a wonderful holiday and a great start to 2020.

It was lovely to see everyone back, raring to go!  This week we talked about our hopes and ambition for the next year.  We set ourselves targets to try and achieve at school and at home.  Our 2020 Vision will help us to assess our progress for the rest of the year.

We were introduced to a new strategy from Glasgow Counts.  We used “Compensation” to work out addition of 2 digit numbers.  It’s great to see how different strategies can be used to get the answers.

In reading this week we had a different for text to look at.  We used a magazine to think about different ways to find out information and think about what our preferences are.  We made an information poster with our favourite parts of the magazine and explained why we made our choices.

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we worked really hard to create a procedural text.  We made a poster with instructions on how to make an Apple Bird Feeder.  It’s important to try and find new ways of making our writing interesting.  It also helps others to see what we can do to make our writing accessible for everyone, even if English isn’t their first language.  That’s why we used pictures to show how to do each step.  Also, during the winter  it’s important we help out garden birds with food.  Why don’t you try to make one at home?
