We rounded off our class talks this week with talks on everyone from Tim Peake to Gene Simmons! The standard has been so high, every child spoke confidently, made eye contact with the audience and showed great enthusiasm for their chosen hero. A big well done to all!
In Maths this week we started work on measure, focusing on length. We began by comparing the length of natural resources outside. Then we went on to measure with a metre stick and ruler. We found estimating tricky but we showed resilience and kept on trying. Some of us had a go at converting between cm and mm.
In Literacy we have been working on magic e and past tense verbs. We can identify verbs in a sentence and change a present tense verb to a past tense verb. For example; I am riding my bike. I rode my bike.
In Science we began work on the senses. This week we learnt about taste, we learnt about the parts of the mouth we use to taste. We enjoyed tasting a variety of flavours…some more than others!
During our laptop time we worked on our typing skills. We played on Dance Mat Typing. The class really enjoyed this and whizzed through level one. This is a great free resource you can play at home too!

We have brought back the Daily Mile this term, running for an increased amount of time each day. Next week we will be working towards running for a full 15 minutes without stopping! We are learning to pace ourselves, not doing the ‘caveman’ run (the children will explain!) In Futsal we worked on our shooting skills. We are getting better at controlling the ball.
This week we have had the pleasure of having Peggy Bear. We won Peggy Bear by walking quietly around school.
Thank you for reading our blog, have a great weekend!
Love P2/3 and Miss Prince x
