P3b have been practicing the 3 steps to calm down in class this week. This will help them be able to feel more in control when they have strong feelings, such as being angry or upset.
In Numeracy and Mathematics, they have been calculating multiplication using arrays and using rulers to measure objects they found in the classroom.
They have been using senses to describe a setting and have been thinking about the human body, particularly the skeleton. They have been thinking about the functions of different bones found within the skeleton.
P1c Playroom

We’ve also researched and prepared non-ficton reports, learned about remembrance and created some art in the style of Yayoi Kusama.
Poppies and Electricity P2b
This week P 2b got involved with some art and science. In art we created poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Using paper plates and green card everyone made their own poppy. In science we learned what an electric circuit is and we had a go at making our own simple circuits using wires, batteries and lightbulbs. We also learned how a switch works within a circuit by creating a continuous path for the electricity to flow.
