Lots of work in P3/2

May 21, 2021 Mrs Canning Leave a comment

P3/2 have been working hard this week. Keep reading to find out what we have been learning this week.

In Literacy, we have been learning about the features of an information report. We know that an information report needs a title, general statement, a description and an evaluative statement at the end. In Grammar, we have been learning about irregular past tense verbs. We know that you cannot just add ‘ed’ to the end of these verbs. An example would be swim and swam. We are continuing to learn how to form our cursive script.

In Maths, we finished our money topic this week, rounding off by learning to use an empty number line to calculate change. We also created some money posters to show what we have learned about coins and change. We have started to learn about rounding to the nearest 10. We know that if the number has a 1,2,3,4 in the ones column we round down to the ten before the number and if there is a 5,6,7,8,9 in the ones column we round up to the next tens number. We enjoyed playing lots of rounding games such as bingo.

In Health and Wellbeing, we have continued to learn about regulation strategies which is the yellow cog. We thought about our worries (triggers – the blue cog) this week and chose a regulation strategy that we could use when we feel these worries. We know that we can have big and small worries and we can think of different strategies to help us with these worries.

In RERC, we have learned about Pentecost. We know this is when the Holy Spirit came to the Disciples and blessed them with the gift of speaking all languages to share the good news of Jesus. We know that the disciples then spread the good news around the world.

In PE, we were playing team games to try to earn points.

In Social Studies, we have continued our learning on climate zones, focusing on the Mediterranean climate. We know about the countries, weather, food and languages that are spoken in this climate. We made tourism posters to advertise holidays in this climate. We also look at animals that live in the temperate zone and we tried to draw a picture of a hawk.

In Science, we have started a new topic about Energy. This week we have created a mindmap to show our understanding of the different types of energy we have in our world. We know energy makes things happen.

P3/2’s week

Here is some of the things we have been about learning about this week:

We have started a new topic – Sun, Moon and Stars. We started to read the story of ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’. We learned about Plop the baby barn owl who is afraid of the dark. We looked a description of him and how the author used adjectives to describe him.
With rekenreks we have been learning about doubles and near doubles.
We have been continuing to practise our handwriting. We have been revising the letters p, h, u and r.
We created our own characters in writing. We had to use describing words (adjectives) to describe our characters appearance and how they behave.
In numeracy we have been learning about adding 1 , 10 and 100 to a number. We know that adding one changes the ones number, adding ten changes the tens number and adding 100 changes the hundreds number.
As this October we were saying a decade of the rosary. We know October is one of the months of Mary.
We were using the bee bots and the ipads to do some coding this week with Miss Gibson.
We used oil pastels to create an owl image on black card.
We had some PE outside and were playing listening games. We are trying hard to improve our listening.
In P3 science we thought about sounds we liked and disliked.
In P2 science we were learning more about forces and building ramps for toys.

We are looking forward to our October holiday.

Fun in P3/2

September 4, 2020 Mrs Canning Leave a comment

We have had another busy and fun week. Keep reading to find out more.

We have read more of Matilda. We know that she had magical super powers. We thought about what we would do with Matilda’s powers when we were feeling different emotion. For example, if we were angry we might use her powers to break something. We talked lots about different emotions and why they are important.
We thought about Matilda’s parents and how they were quite mean to her. We think Matilda should be nurtured by a kind parent. We labelled and drew pictures of Mrs Wormwood.
We were learning about place value. We know that hundreds, tens and ones are. We played different games to practise making the numbers. We used the deans material and played a matching ice cream game.
We played a game to see how many words we could make from another word. It was tricky.
With Ms Gilmore we created a collage using different types of paper and shapes.
We have been practising the Hail Mary Prayer prayer this week.
We looked at some tricky words and tried different techniques to spell them. We tried rainbow writing, bubble writing and dotted writing.
We thought about making good and bad choices and why it is important to make good choices.
We made predictions this week in Literacy. We watched a clip of a boat sailing and where we thought about who we thought was in the boat and where we thought it was going. Then we watched the end to see if we were correct. We know that when we make a prediction we might not always be correct.

What a busy week!
