This is what the children in P3A have enjoyed doing this week

Science – we did an experiment with an ice cube, water and salt.

We were challenged to lift the ice cube up with a piece of string without touching it!  Most groups manged to do it! WOW!! (sorry no pics as my camera not working).

French – we learned the alphabet in French with Mrs Millar

Early Intervention – we have been learning the magic e spelling pattern and one group learning when to use Capital Letters.

Numeracy – Circles – using ten rods and units to depict larger numbers. Also writing these in numbers and words.

Triangles – matching up words to numbers up to 100.

Squares – doing addition sums within 20 using a 10 frame and cubes

Reading – the Reds have enjoyed using different voices in their Play.

We have also been writing and drawing Character Studies and Comprehension tasks.

P.E – we learned the Grand Old Duke of York in dancing this week. It was good fun but tiring!

As it’s December and soon time for the big jolly man in red to come…we started a Santa Beard countdown to Christmas picture. Every day we glue on another part of his beard…..exciting times.

This week it was Scottish Book Week and p6 had a fabby day on Monday dressing up as their favourite book character. They also really enjoyed the parade in the hall which was great fun.

P6 designed a poster for the Christmas Fair which will be held this Wednesday 3rd December at 6pm. The posters have turned out really lovely. Well done P6. The children also created their Christmas enterprise to sell at the fair but that will be a surprise for the mums and dads to buy 🙂

On Wednesday this week p6 and p5 went to visit the library and had a great time looking through the books and listening to a short chapter of Charlie and the great Glass Elevator, read by Miss Moir. The children really enjoyed this experience and hope to visit the library again to take some books out on their own.

To finish this week, p6 helped to create a fantastic winter display for the gym hall. We will give you a clue to which one is ours….it is the one that looks like an edible house 🙂

We decorated our classroom door with a book cover we designed and made for the book ” Horace and the Haggis Hunter”.

We also had a Library Visit with the P3/2 class which was great.

In SPELLING some of us were learning when to add es for plurals. Some were learning ow and ar sounds.

In MATHS we were learning about Venn Diagrams.

We were busy making Enterprise things for the Christmas Fair next week. Look out for our Christmas trees, sparkly tealight holders and Reindeer Noses.

In ART we made Snow globes/snowmen for our class Winter Display in the hall.
