P3A 2022-23

The class has been learning about the five senses as part of our topic on the human body.  We went on a walk around the school and listed what we could see, hear, feel and smell.  The pupils worked with a partner and recorded their observations on a worksheet.  We didn’t taste anything on our walk but the pupils wrote down what they had eaten during the school day.

The pupils have enjoyed working alongside each other while developing their creative and problem solving skills.

Here we are on our alphabet scavenge hunt around the classroom. We also did a matching task where we had to find the lower case letter and match it to the upper case letter.

This term we are learning about our skeleton and we have discovered that if we didn’t have a skeleton, we would be like a puddle of jelly on the floor! We also need our skeleton to help us move and it protects the major organs in our bodies. We had lots of fun working in groups to make this child-size skeleton jigsaw. We also labelled some of the bones that we have learnt about so far.

At the start of the term we did lots of activities based on our rights and responsibilities. In these photos you can see us working in pairs to discuss what kinds of behaviour are acceptable and unacceptable. We had a good class discussion about what behaviour we expect to see at school and what we can do to help each other to achieve our goals and make sure that everyone has the right to learn in a safe and happy environment. All our hard work led to the creation of our Class Charter which shows which rights we think are important to us at Sound School.

• We have the right to be safe.
• We have the right to be healthy.
• We have the right to be heard.
• We have the right to be ourselves.
