#outdoorlearningstnics | St Nicholas Primary School

In Maths we were practicing place value again and also odd and even numbers
We were estimating who is taller and who is smaller and we were checking the exact height of a few of us using a meter tape. We know that 1m = 100cm
We were upskilling our maths knowledge by using the Rekenrek and it was good fun.
We did some coding using exact instructions. We are able to reach the destination e. g. 5 steps forward, turn left etc.
In literacy we were practising handwriting with the letters Aa and Bb also we were reviewing our knowledge about Vowels and Consonants.
Our new sound for this week was ‘sh’ now we know how to write words like: shop, shed, shut, dish etc.
We were making ‘Staying Safe’ posters, where we told everyone what to do to avoid Covid 19 as best as we can.
Picasso was an artist who inspired us to draw irregular funny faces. We also know that Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga in Spain.
We spent lots of time doing outdoor learning, especially when the weather was really nice. We were practicing maths, literacy, coding and science outside.
In science we were learning about forces. We were developing our knowledge about pushing and pulling.
On Tuesday we were celebrating Mary’s Birthday so we were praying to Mary more than usual as well as being nicer to each other.
We were also learning about our Solar System (we will be learning more about this in P3), we know now that we have 8 planets and that the Sun is a star.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Mrs Koziel

This week in P3 we have been working very hard, keep reading to find out more!

In Maths, we have been continuing to learn about Place Value. We can read, write and count 3 digit numbers. We have even began to learn about expanded form. We know that this is when you break a number into its parts.
In Literacy, we are continuing to practice our prediction skills, we know a prediction is a guess about what is going to happen in a story. This week we watched a clip called ‘The Clock Tower’ to help us with our reading skills.
In Art, we have been learning about the Spanish artist Picasso. We know that he used shapes and angles in his artwork. We enjoyed looking at his art and guessing what they could be. We enjoyed doing art outside by collecting outdoor materials (leaves, stones and sticks) to create faces.
In Health and Wellbeing, we designed dreamcatchers. We learned that the web catches bad dreams and the feathers at the bottom give us good dreams. We talked about how our emotions can be linked to our dreams.
In PE, we were using hula hoops to practise throwing and catching. We had fun playing lots of games to practise our skills.
In RERC, we learned about Mary and we celebrated her birthday. We have also been revising our school values, we drew a picture linked to our school values and wrote a sentence about a time when we followed our St Nicholas values.

Have a look at P2’s hard work.
