Every Friday we work on our handwriting. We practice our letters lots of different ways – white boards, smart board, jotters and wipe clean boards. We work on our letter formation so that we do it correctly in all of our work. Later on this year we will start to join letters so really need to be writing them the correct way.

P3a Book Week
During book week we took part in lots of great activities. We received visits from several secret readers. We went to the library and got our Read, Write, Count bags and a book from the Queen. We also listened to stories and read with each other. We took part in the Book Week bookmark competition by drawing our favourite animals character from a book. It has been a brilliant week.
P3 Literacy
Something strange was in our mystery box this morning. A few of us tried to guess. Some said a number 2, which was quite a good guess. Others couldn’t find anything. After lots of discussion round what sort of shape it was, Harris worked out it was a question mark. We looked at the shape then tried to draw a few ourselves. We were allowed to draw it on our desks!! Then we thought about words that could be used at the start of a question. We wrote them on our desks too and then discussed them as a class. Next we had to think of questions we could ask, using these words.
P4 Lego Club
We finished our models today in Lego Club. Great fun!
P4 Lego Club
Yesterday the Lego Club met for the first time. We enjoyed working in small groups to build our model. We had to use our concentration skills to work out the instructions and find the correct pieces. Only one build was finished so the other completed models will be photographed next week. Then we get to start on a different build.
P3a Numeracy
Each week we take part in lots of different Numeracy activities to help us develop our skills. We share our strategies and help each other try them out. This week in our Number of the Day task we had to work out sums with the answer 39. We came up with addition subtraction, multiplication and someone even came up with a sum involving division.
P3a Creativity
This week we were given a black dot on paper and had to use our creativity to draw a picture using it. We came up with lots of different ways.
P6/5 & 3a Library Buddies
We went to the school library to meet and read with our buddies. There are lots of brothers and sisters in the classes and it was lovely seeing them reading together. The new library has lots of space so we could all chill in our own area.
P3a Money
This week we have been trying hard to improve our work with money. We used games on the iPad, coins in class, a class shop and challenge cards.
I am learning the value of coins.
We are playing shops to check we can lay out the correct coins to buy something.
We are playing games on the iPad to show we know how to use coins to pay for things.
P3a Maths Week Activities
A mysterious box was left in our classroom this morning. We tried to think what might be. When we opened it, it was filled with triangles. We looked at them and discussed what was the same and what was different. Then we heard a story about triangles. Next we split into groups and took part in different activities.
At Base 1 we were using 2d shapes to create a picture and then tried to name all the shapes we had used.
At Base 2 we were using construction to build 3d shapes. We then thought where we might see them in the world.
At Base 3 we were working on our money by setting up a shop and buying different items.
At Base 4 we logged onto our Sumdog accounts and worked on our Maths online.
