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.

This week we have been focussing on measure during our maths lessons this week. We have learned how to use a ruler correctly and to measure different items in centimetres.

We have been reading about a baby Barn Owl called Plop, in the book The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. We have visualised his home from the description and drawn what we think it looks like. We also created a piece of art from the story using two different types of mediums and two different art techniques. We used oil pastels and paint, to create a picture which had used both the skills of drawing and printing.

We have also looked at the  3 steps for calming down this week in our HWB lessons. We will be using this technique to improve how we deal with upsets.

We have continued our active play this week. The children have really enjoyed our active play sessions and they are becoming more and more creative in their play, as well as being more able to join in with staff led games.
