Mums are you even prouder of your child when you read your Mother’s Day story? With such lovely mothers it is not surprising we have such lovely children in p3/2. We had a busy week writing about and drawing our mums.
We entered an Edinburgh Fringe poster competiton. We looked at previous winning posters, identified what made them stand out then used this knowledge when designing our own poster. This strategy we try to use continually. Identify what works and improve.
We learned about division this week and because we could link it to what we knew about multiplication we were pleasantly surprised at how easy we found it. The previous knowledge that helps includes knowledge of: equal groups, arrays, numbers line, pattern, skip counting and multiplication tables. We spotted that similar to addition and subtraction facts having a link, multiplication and division facts are linked. We made number triangles and wrote out the number sentences we could make from them.
Busy week ahead
Shared start on Tuesday.
Roman trip to Callandar House on Wednesday.
Roman homelearning project are starting to arrive in class and the children have reported the fun they have had in doing them. Remember the learning intention was to have fun research and recording learning related to Roman Britian. The focus was the process not the product so don’t feel pressured to have a model, speech or object at the end. Focus on the fun in learning.
Hello p3/2! It was nice to see you all last week and to hear how you are getting on. I hope the sun shines for your trip this week and that you all have a great time. The Romans is such an exciting topic and your homework task sounds great. Have a good week in school!
Yes Mother’s Day cards and messages are lovely to receive..well done P3/2 !
Hi there, could we possibly have more frequent updates from P3/2. We have only had three this year, two in January and one in March. It’s helpful for me to see what interesting things the children are doing in class so I we can chat about it at home. Many thanks.
