We have had a busy last week in P3 and P3/2. Here is what we have been up to:
Budgeting : In maths we have been learning about budgeting, which means that we need to try and keep our spending to the limit. We were also learning about cheap and expensive. We know that cheap means something that costs a little money and expensive means it costs a lot.
Mixed up sentences: This week we were practising our mixed up sentences. Our teachers wrote sentences on the board that were wrong and we had to find and fix the mistakes. We were looking for spelling mistakes, missing full stops and capital letters!
Handwriting: This week we have done lots of handwriting, we have been practising our cursive k, l, m, n, o & p. We thought that n and o were the easiest and that k was a bit trickier!
Autumn walk, writing and matching artwork: On the Autumn walk we found signs of Autumn. We found leaves that were falling from trees and changing colour. Our walk was cold and we needed our jackets. We used our senses to write about our walk and used cotton buds and paint to create an Autumn picture to match!
Tropical climate zone: We know that the tropical climate zone is in the rainforest. It is warm there and there is lots of rain. We know that monkeys, parrots, slow loris, sloths, elephants and tigers like this climate zone. We used oil pastels and watercolour paints to create some fabulous parrot artwork.
We are now ready for the October holidays! 😀
You are warmly invited to another of our curriculum cafes on Friday 5th of May (drop in from 10.45am until 12 noon). The purpose of this cafe is to encourage children to talk with parents – in an informal way over tea and a biscuit – about their school work. This gives our children the opportunity to talk about their learning and achievements so that they can be challenged, motivated and supported. Research shows that children being able to talk about their learning – and identify their next steps – is one of the biggest factors in educational success.
