The third visitor to our class today was Mr Troupe.  Mr Troupe is a manager of a garden centre and he knows a lot about planting and growing things. He helped us a lot today by telling us what plants, flowers, fruit and veg we could grow in our school plant pots. In the pictures below we are writing them all down so that we don’t forget them.

Another visitor to our class today was our very own lollipop man, who keeps us safe everyday, both on our way to school and back home again. He told us how long he had been doing the job and why he wears bright colours and carries a lollipop stick. An interesting piece of information that we found out was that the black line on the lollipop stick is for recording registration numbers of drivers that are behaving irresponsibly. Some of us got to try on the yellow jacket and hold the lollipop stick, which was a little heavy to hold in one hand.

Today has been a very interesting day for P3a.  We had three visitors in our class, one being Dr Millan.  He talked to us about his work and showed us some of the instruments that he uses in his surgery, we even got to try them out.  The Skeleton was awesome, but I don’t think he uses it in his surgery.  We asked lots of questions and found out that to be a doctor you have to study really hard in order to get good grades at school, then you go to university for 5 years!

Roy came to visit our class today to tell us about comic strip writing. He told us about the history of comic strips and showed us examples of some of the first types of comics, on a PowerPoint. He also brought in some comic books for us to look at, as well as giving us our very own comic book that he made.

We loved having Roy in the class and couldn’t wait to try out our own comic strip writing. When we had finished it we got the opportunity to read it to the class.

 

 

Over the past few weeks the children in P3a have been developing the skills needed to play tennis.

To start with we are using a bean bag as it is easier to control. We have been serving our bean bag to our partner and catching it with our racket.

In our pictures you will see one of the boys in the class taking us through our warm up exercises.

Lots of fun activities taking place as we learn about fractions.

Here we are all working hard on our spelling this morning. Our new class photographer took these images. She is getting very good at doing this difficult job.

We had a wonderful afternoon today. Great friends, amazing games and fabulous food. All you need for a Christmas party!

We had a wonderful time at Amazonia! We saw lots of animals that live in all the layers of the rainforest and even got to hold some of them.

In the afternoon we went on an adventure into the woods. We did a winter nature hunt and also picked up different materials that we found lying around the forest floor. We took them back to school where we had more fun making scary skeletons.

Over the past few weeks the children have been making fruit skewers as one of their golden time choice activities.   Some of the children ate them in class and others took them home.  As they were allowed to make more than one, they also shared them with their friends and staff in the school!!
