Celebrations in P3
Our school celebrated it’s 50th birthday today. Classes had been given a decade to focus on for the birthday celebrations. We have been learning all about the 1990’s. We learned about the channel tunnel which opened in 1994. We had a team working challenge – to create a map to help us recognise where the channel tunnel is.
On Tuesday, we were learning about keeping safe on bonfire night. We made posters to remind us, and we had a visit from firefighter Steel. He talked to us about how to keep ourselves and others safe. We even had a chance to try on his helmet – it was very heavy. Thank you Mr Steel for coming into our class to see us.
Today we had a very busy classroom with lots visitors joining in our activities. As the first Harry Potter book was published in 1997, we were making magical Harry Potter wands.
We also made our own versions of Mr Potato Head from the original Toy Story film which was also released in 1996.
We used some cardboard tubes, some fabric and a train set for problem solving. Our aim was to set up the train tracks through the ‘tunnel’.
We also set up a mini class museum with some items from the 1990’s.
We all enjoyed our visit to the ice-cream van after break time – it was great!
Thank you to everyone who came along to support us today. We had a lovely time.
Deans Den update!!
It has been another busy week in Deans Den. We continue to work on improving our listening skills as this is a very important skill to master . When you listen well, learning can take place!! One area of learning that has been a success this week is developing our pencil control. Andrew was proud of his detailed colouring of the number 4 and said ” I’m not scribbling.” Well done Andrew!!
The boys are girls are excited to have snack time together and we made a shopping list of the different foods we would like to enjoy. Some suggestions included apples, bananas and crackers.
As it was bonfire night this week we talked about the different ways of keeping safe but still enjoying the fireworks. We were lucky to have a visit from Fire Officer Steel who talked to us about his job and we enjoyed asking him questions too.
Friday is a special day for Deans Primary School as we celebrate it’s 50th birthday. We look forward to sharing our learning with you, hope to see you all tomorrow!!
Busy times in Deans Den!!
It has been another busy week in Deans Den. We continue to work hard on improving our listening skills, which we know will help us with our learning. We also got together around the snack table to decide how best to behave when enjoying snack. Here are some of the suggestions:
“We all wait and behave at the snack table” Charlie- Mae
“Close your mouth when you are eating” Andrew
“Help to tidy up after snack” Maddison
“Use quiet voices at the snack table” Max
“Always use your manners” Mrs Morrison
Snack menus will be sent home next week. Please have a look in your child’s bag and if there are any dietary concerns, please talk to Mrs Morrison as soon as possible.

P3 learn to take notes
This week we have started to learn how to take notes. We have been listening to a story on BBC Newsround and then we pause it and try to write a few notes to remind us what the story is about. It is quite challenging at the moment.
P3/4 Learning Breakfast
Thank you to all who attended our learning breakfast this week. We hope you all enjoyed our presentations on the number strategies we use on a daily basis in class. The children all worked hard in their groups to discuss the ideas and how they would present them as a class.
Next week we are looking forward to visiting Morrisons as part of our work with the community event. EE2 forms will be sent home with your child next week.
