We have had a very ‘higgelty piggelty’ week in P3/2 as we have been without a classroom for most of it!  However, yesterday we moved back in to our newly painted classroom and we love our new lilac and purple theme!

Literacy: We have been developing our skills of ‘instructional/functional’ writing.  After our visit from Miss Alien from planet Zorg last week who simply could not understand our instructions of how to put a jacket on (silly alien!) we have been writing instructions for a variety of basic activities such as brushing your teeth, putting on shoes.  We then put our instructions to the test to see if we provided sufficient information.  The results varied and we are becoming more aware of the importance of not making assumptions when writing with an instructional/functional purpose.

Numeracy:  This week we continued with our number focus.  We had a ‘Mild, Spicy, Hot’ challenge on Thursday.  On reflection the majority of the class felt that they had not really challenged themselves.  This is something that we will work on as we progress into the term.  Now we are settled back into class and have no further Monday’s off we will be progressing our Measurement subject area.

PE:  We will be developing our athletic skills such as throwing, jumping, sprinting.  Mrs Logan is working with the children on gymnastic skills.

IDL: Now we are settled back into our class we will be picking up our topic work as of Monday.  We are looking at people within our community that help us.  We will be linking this into our French language and developing our French vocabulary.  We now have a specific ICT area within our class where the laptops will be set up for the children to use for literacy/numeracy/French interactive games, independent/collaborative research etc.

Celebrating Success

As everything has been mixed up this week we did not award a Star of the Week – we will have two next week to make up for this.

Skillionaires

This week our Skillionaire focus was Evaluating.  Our two class winners were Anton Lamb and Leighla Brookes.

Well done to both of you!

Murrayfield’s Got Talent!

I was an extremely proud teacher in today’s whole school final as I watched SIX of P3/2 pupils perform in Murrayfield’s Got Talent final!! Both acts from our class did amazingly well today.  It takes a lot of courage, confidence and self-belief to stand up and perform in front of such a large audience!  So a HUGE well done to all 6 finalists.

I am even more pleased to announce that Marti Muirhead and Neve McMillan were chosen to got to the Blackburn’s Got Talent Final!!!

WELL DONE GIRLS AND ALL THE VERY BEST OF LUCK!! 🙂 🙂

Hope you all have a great weekend!
