This week we have been:

  • Taking part in walking activities
  • Visiting the Post Office to post letters to the Queen and Dubai
  • Receiving postcards from Toronto and Bulgaria!
  • Walking our wigs off!

P3T Our week- 18.9.15

We have been:

  • Finding the number of tens and units in numbers to 100 using cubes and money
  • Looking at letters to find the common features to make our success criteria
  • Using our success criteria to write a number of letters- one for Miss Keay to send to Dubai and the other for our famous person
  • Our famous person with the most votes was Her Majesty the Queen! The children listed some questions we would ask her and we wrote her a letter. The children used their best handwriting and writing skills to write to the Queen and we will post these letters on Wednesday when we are going to the Post Office

P3T Recent News

We are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as our class novel and there has been great excitement as we have reached the part where Charlie has found his Golden ticket!

We won the best class with the most points for the school challenge and enjoyed an extra playtime and some time on the trim trail! Well done boys and girls!

Kyle really enjoyed the Verges project on Tuesday 12th September with Mr Benyon and told us all about planting the plants with Murron, Kenzie, Makayla and Teresa.  He said ‘We had to gently lift the plants out of the pots and we had to dig a hole and put the plants inside them. It was good fun!’

We are learning about numbers to 100 in Numeracy and have been finding the numbers before , after and between. Our maths focus has been weight which links to out Post Office theme and we have been finding the heaviest and lightest parcels and weighing a range of everyday objects using our balance scales.

Our First Week in Primary 3T

We have all been settling back into school and getting to know our classmates.

We have already been writing about the best day of our holidays and learning lots of cool new maths games.

Our topic this term is the Post Office and we have watched a short film about where a letter goes when it’s posted. We talked about what we know already about post offices and decided what we would like to find out. Working with our elbow partners we drew a plan of our post office area in the class and designed a postage stamp.

We have had a busy week!

Off We Go!

We have had a great week in Primary 1B.

In Number work we are learning to add two numbers together. This week we have been practising writing our sums down and we are trying very hard to remember to use careful counting!! Mrs Bowman was pulling funny faces because lots of people were writing their numbers down backwards so we decided to use our number lines to check our work. It worked! Now our work looks much better!

In language we are very excited. We get our new reading books on a Monday still but our reading with confidence day is changing to a Friday. Great, an extra day to practise.

Our new sounds this week were all the tunnel sounds in the vowel house and Mrs Bowman told us the story.
