P3A had special visitors today!

We earned a reward by collecting a whole bowl full of marbles.

We earn marbles for getting whole class compliments for walking through the corridors quietly, following instructions, and following the school rules.

We decided to have our teddies come to school for a day. They went to music with us, reviewed number bonds in maths, and even watched us play outside during break and lunch.

Mrs Dundas was surprised with how well behaved all the teddies were in class. Everyone had a lovely day.

P3B Fruit Skewers

Today we cut up pears, pineapple and banana. We prepared satsumas and grapes and we pushed them all onto skewers to make a tasty healthy snack.

Charlie H – Some people tried new fruits that they had never tried before.

Sam F – They were amazing.

Lots of children are planning to try them at home.

Millie – They were so yummy.

Junior – I really enjoyed these good fruits.

We learned about keeping our hands clean and the foods clean, eating healthy foods and we had to do lots of maths – 2 x 26 grapes, fractions – cutting fruits into pieces. And we learned that preparing and eating food is FUN!

Healthy Pumpkin Cakes recipe

Today we made these delicious pumpkin cakes. They are healthy and tasty. You can add sultanas to make them even more healthy.

Mrs. Thomson and Mrs Dundas were impressed by our turn taking and our helpfulness as well as our skill in grating pumpkin.

We learned Maths, Reading and Health – Maths – weighing in grams, Reading – what is the purpose of the recipe and reading it, Health – washing our hands thoroughly (again and again if needed)  and healthy eating.
