Sharing Our Learning
P3/2 have enjoyed exploring shapes this week and have been learning to use different shapes to create tessellation patterns. We used our critical thinking skills to decided which shapes we could use to tile and what shapes would not be good as they would leave gaps. We then used our creativity to create different pictures.
P3/2 and P2/1 braved the cold and set off on an exciting bear hunt adventure! Using our story stepping stones, we carefully sequenced each part of the story, making sure the events were in the correct order. We searched high and low on a scavenger hunt, explored each part of the story using musical instruments to create music for our bear hunt chant. And after all out hard work… we finally found the bear!
P3/2 have been learning about 2D, 3D shapes and their properties. We went on a shape hunt around our classroom and discovered many different shapes. We spoke about the different shapes we see every day in our daily life and then participated in a range of activities to consolidate our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes.
Rain, mud and teamwork… P3/2 had a fantastic time at Kids Gone Wild despite the cold, rainy and muddy conditions. The children showed excellent team working skills to take turns on the zip line, they helped each other onto the zip line and bouncy net, and had so much fun searching for frogs. Despite getting muddy and wet, the class had so much fun and it was great to see them communicating, sharing ideas and supporting one another. A lot of fun was had!
P3/2 have had a busy first week back after October break. We have had a fun Halloween focused week! We started off the week with practicing our spelling words by writing them onto pumpkins and on spooky pictures.
In the afternoon we got creative out doors and collected leaves to create hedgehog leaf collage pictures.
We then investigated the cause of reactions by experimenting with different liquids. We made predictions what would happen when we combined water, soap, baking powder and vinegar together and then carried out the experiment. We then wrote up our observations.
Later in the week, we practiced using our core targets in literacy by writing spooky sentences. We then created spooky narrative stories.
After a busy week filled with lots of Halloween activities we are finishing the week off with a Halloween Party 🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN from P3/2 🎃
