This week, we rounded off our Viking topic by creating amazing non-chronological reports. We also worked in pairs to complete a Viking quiz and made our own Viking artifacts out of clay. We have learned so much!
In PE, we had another fun football session, focusing on controlled dribbling and passing.
In maths, we explored tessellation and enjoyed taking part in active stations. We also did a maths-themed Easter egg hunt, which was a fun way to apply our learning!
The children have worked incredibly hard this term, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday. Miss Maclennan and P4a

We had a fun last week before the Easter holidays finishing our Vikings topic and getting outdoors to enjoy some of the sunny weather we have had. In writing we made a start at how to write an information report as that will be our writing focus next term.  We used our knowledge of the Vikings to produce some fantastic reports using book creator and then shared these with each other.  In maths we were working on estimating and weighing. Lots of fun was had using the scales and holding the different weights.  We also made a class Viking Longship using the STEM straws.  It was fabulous to see them all working together and they made a ship that the whole class was able to fit in to, complete with oars, a mast and a dragon head.  They have all worked extremely hard this term and hope everyone has a fantastic Easter and are looking forward to term 4.

Term 3 completed for P2a. It was a very long and busy term but the class worked extremely hard throughout.

The class learned all about money, they were working on their coin recognition, adding coins together and calculating change. They also done amazingly well during their data handling lessons, they used graphs and tally marks to help collate information. Most recently they learned about grid references which they done with great confidence.

P2a were incredible with their spelling this term, there was some excellent results in their spelling tests and it has helped improve their reading and writing. The class really enjoyed learning all the magic e sounds.

The pieces of writing produced this term were exceptional. After their hard work on setting writing the class completed a series of lessons on character writing. In these lessons the class planned and created their own monsters using amazing adjectives to describe them.

In the playroom the children loved learning about living things through the changes topic. They showed lots of great teamwork to create different art pieces and build magnificent structures.

This final week was full of Easter fun. The class created their own Easter bunnies and 3D Easter art.

Literacy – we continue to work hard on our reading. We have developed our skills in reciprocal reading and paired reading. We are becoming more confident when reading aloud. This week we have worked on our skimming and scanning skills as well as ensuring we answer questions in full sentences.

Maths – this week we took our learning outdoors for some orienteering fun! We answered place value questions that were hidden around the playground. This was a lot of fun and everyone worked well!

PE – this week we took advantage of the nice weather and went to the pitch for our PE lessons. Continuing with our team work, we played games of rounders. What great sportsmanship we have in p6a.

This week we finished off our decimals block in Maths, and news reports in Writing, all about a Tsumami. We have been finding out lots about the devastating Tsunami that hit Indonesia in 2004 and were able to report on this and the effects of it. We had our treat afternoon on Tuesday and have also been out planting seeds as we want to encourage nature in our grounds. Of course we also had some outdoor play in the sunshine too!
Happy Holidays!
