P3 Weekly Reflection 30.11.18

This has been a very busy but enjoyable week.  Thanks to all the parents who attended our PATPAL session on Tuesday, the children were so excited to be able to share their learning with you.  The children will be sharing more of their learning during our assembly next Friday (7th December), we hope to see as many of you as possible.  Jarrad said he enjoyed talking to the parents about our Wellbeing Wheel and was pleased that the parents enjoyed their visit.  Mrs Mill complimented both Jarrad and Leo on how confidently they were able to talk about the Wellbeing Wheel – well done boys!

Tomorrow sees this year’s Christmas Fair and we look forward to seeing you all there between 10am and 12:30pm.  The children have been busy making some snowmen and penguin cards to sell, these will be on sale for £1 each.  Joe and Lakshya said creating their Christmas cards was the highlight of their week.

William said he was pleased to receive his flu vaccination this week.  Hopefully this will help to keep the children fighting fit during the winter months.  As we approach the season of colds and coughs, the children and I would very much appreciate donations of tissues to help keep the bugs at bay!

Finn said his highlight this week was watching the P4 assembly about Advent.  Emma M reminded us that advent is about counting down to something and we learned that Christians use advent wreaths and candles to count down to the birth of Jesus.  Some of the children found it hard to believe that we used to have advent calendars with only pictures in them!

In maths this week we have been developing our understanding of money.  We have been learning to recognise all coins and notes to £5 and have been working out combinations of coins that can be used to pay for different amounts.  We will continue to develop our understanding of money with various Christmas themed tasks in the coming weeks.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at the Christmas Fair.
