We have had a great week back in P3a.  In maths we have been working hard using numberlines as a subtraction strategy and have made great progress. In art we were learning about tints and shades.  We began practising being able to make these and then used our skills to create a piece of art.  You will see the finished artwork next week.

On Tuesday we learned some new games during our active play.

We also began our lessons on Diwali, learning about Rama and Sita and why it is called the festival of lights.

On Friday we had lots of fun outdoors learning about Halloween animals with Donald from Wildside Nature.  He gave us lots of interesting facts and the children got the chance to move around like the animals.  They especially loved learning about bats and how they use echo location to find their food.  Both Mrs Potter and Donald were very impressed at their enthusiasm and how much the children could remember from his last visit.
