What a wonderful first week back P3a have had. It was so lovely to see all the children together again. This week the children have really enjoyed P.E where we played games and completed different fitness stations.

For HWB we discussed the importance of team work, then created freeze frames of different scenarios where team work and collaborating are very important.

The children worked together on a STEM project to build towers with Miss McNeill, I was very impressed with the finished products.

We also started reading ‘Flat Stanley’ as a class. Prior to reading the children used their learned reading strategies to make predictions about the text. They wrote their predictions on post-it notes then visualised their idea and drew beautiful pictures which will be used to create a new reading display in our classroom.

We rounded off the week with some ICT learning. The children were very engaged working in pairs learning to code with ‘Angry Birds’. They worked so well together and demonstrated their collaborating skills which we had talked about at the beginning of the week.

What a way to start the year, well done P3a!
