The Olympics
This term P3 are learning about the Olympics in Brazil. With a partner we researched some information about Brazil using the internet. We have looked at Vinicius and Tom, the Olympic and Paralympic mascots. Vinicius is a mix of all the animals in the Amazon so we designed our own Brazilian mascots using the animals too. We are going to write stories about our mascot’s adventures.
We have used oil pastels to illustrate the Olympic torch and we made Olympic ring paper chains.
Now Lewis is looking forward to writing about his mascot’s adventures around the world. A.J. would like to make a paper Olympic torch. Jack is looking forward to finding out more about the Olympic rings and what they mean. Katelyn is looking forward to meeting Liam Davie, the champion gymnast and Darcy would like to learn more about all of the Olympic sports. Everyone is excited about our new topic.

Coca-Cola and Mentos Experiment
Our Prediction: the cola would explode
We carried out the experiment which proved our predictions to be correct. The whole class had lots of fun and I heard words such as ‘awesome’, ‘cool’, ‘fun’ and ‘amazing’ to describe their feelings about the experiment.

Lily who has been trying really hard in class, taking part in class discussions and producing lovely work.
Class Dojo Champions

P2/3 Weekly Highlights
Last week some of the boys and girls impressed me with ordering their lunch tray in French as well as saying ‘hello’ in Mandarin.
We enjoyed the Robin Hood panto and here are some photographs which show some of our favourite parts.
Samantha – My favourite part was when Dani chased the Sheriff of Nottingham’.
Ella – My favourite part was when Maid Marian hit the Sheriff of Nottingham with his hand.
Lily – My favourite part was when the Sheriff of Nottingham locked Maid Marian in the dungeon.
Halloween Activities
We had lots of fun designing ‘Our Frankly Scary Frankenstein Posters’ based on the style of Pablo Picasso.
We had lots of fun dooking for apples and Mrs Sinclair was pleasantly surprised to see that we have a new class member who seemed to be a little too old for P2/3.
Our Star of the Week was Joseph for not getting upset when a friend accidentally bumped into him. Joseph’s reply brought a tear to my eye when he said ‘It’s okay Aaran, you’re still my friend’.
Class Dojo champion to be announced tomorrow. Watch this space!
