Last week we told you that we were going to collect plastic bottles in order to raise money to help save an endangered animal. This week we can tell you that we have overwhelmingly decided that that animal is the LION. We learned that there are a number of reasons why the lion is becoming endangered. Some of these include the illegal fur trade and poaching, the loss of habitat as humans start taking over the land the lions live on. They are also being affected by climate change and disease. The regulation of the legal trade in wildlife is poor and therefore not everyone is abiding by the rules.
This week we have begun our collection of plastic bottles. We have also been  making posters to raise awareness of our campaign.

This week we have been having emotional check-ins to ensure that everyone is being supported with their feelings and emotions.

We have been designing our own superheroes with their own super powers and costumes. This will lead into some writing next week.

We have been learning how to write a report. We made a plan and then wrote a report about starfish. We found out some interesting things about starfish. Did you know that they catch their prey with their arms and then their stomach comes out of their mouth and digests the prey before retuning back through the mouth again? We didn’t but we do now! They also have hundreds of legs on each arm.

We have been learning about endangered animals and thinking of ways we can help them. We are going to collect single use water bottles and then take them to Lidl for recycling. The money we earn from that we are going to put towards sponsoring an endangered animal. We can let you know which one, next week. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
If you have any bottles at home, please do not throw them out. Send them in to help the animals!

We are also going to be picking litter from our playground. We ask you not to throw litter on the ground because the little animals might eat it. Then they would choke and maybe die.

We have been enjoying a book called Amazing Grace. This week we have been making predictions in a crystal ball and then  looking at the character’s traits from the book. We have been writing sentences and adding capital letters and full stops in the correct places. Some of us found this a bit challenging, We have also been looking at how to use a calendar and reading and writing dates in different ways. We are learning how to use Elkonin boxes for our spelling. We were learning to code like a pirate and writing directions to find objects on a map.
On Thursday we  watched a show called Alice in Wonderland. We enjoyed it very much.

Welcome to Primary 3b. We are looking forward to sharing our learning journey with you.
