P3 Literacy & Numeracy

We listened to a story and thought of all the positional language we heard. We then worked with a partner to write down all the words we could think of. We watched a short video and discussed where items were in a house using the vocabulary we had learned.

We started learning about writing a description. To do this we read a passage and had to find all the nouns in it. We learned that a noun is a naming word for a people, place or thing. Later in the week we then used the same passage and highlighted all the adjectives. We though of other describing words that could be used.

We have been using concrete materials to help us with our Numeracy. We have lots of different tools in our class to support our learning. We use them to help us solve calculations. This week we were given the problem 24 + 12 and worked with a partner to solve it. We then had to keep adding 12. Some of us saw a pattern to the numbers and managed to work the problem to over 100. They then shared their strategy with the rest of the class.

We are constantly discussing our work with other people but sometimes we need to remember our listening skills. This week we worked in small groups to discuss our emotions. We had to remember to take turns, look at the person who was talking and listen to all their words.

Science at ECPS

We have been very busy in our science lab since we returned to school! In our first week back we were growing  rainbows, creating crystal geodes, planting rainforest and desert biodomes and beginning to set up a wormery (no worms have been added yet!)

We have also started our topics for the term:

P1 & P2/1 are learning all about electricity and how to keep safe:

We have been working on our classification skills this week and sorting items into electrical and non-electrical groups.

P2, P3 & P4 are investigating forces and magnets:

This week we have been investigating the affect weight has on the speed of a ball rolling down a ramp, and testing out balanced forces.

P5, P6 & P7 are exploring light:

We have been exploring how to use reflection to control light and have been using this knowledge to build our own mirror mazes.
