This week in P3 and P3/2 we have been very busy.

• We have been learning about St Nicholas.  The feast day of St Nicholas is on Sunday 6th December.  We know St Nicholas was a kind man who left gifts to help other people.  We drew pictures of St Nicholas.
• We learning about Advent and the advent wreath.  We know there are 3 purple candles, one rose coloured candle and a white candle.  The white candle is lit on Christmas Day.  We know advent is a time of preparation.
• We have been learning about fractions on a number and counting up in halves and quarters.  We know a half is less than a one.  We were counting apples and lemons and trying to work out how many parts we had. We found quarters quite challenging.
• During outdoor learning we had a scavenger hunt for things around the playground.  We then made pictures of owls using things we found in the playground.
• We have continued to learn cursive script and have been practising the letters we find most tricky.
• We have also been continuing to learn more about writing a detailed description and this week we were writing a description of our mum or dad.
• We have been reading our books and answering questions in our jotters and on the laptops this week.  We are getting good at answering in sentences and remembering to answer the full question.
• This week we looked at riddles about nocturnal animals and tried to guess which animal the riddle was about.
• We started to create winter scenes in art using chalk and collage materials.
• In Health and Wellbeing we were thinking more about the green cog and we tried to show our emotions with our behaviour. We are very good at using our faces to show our emotions.
