Hello, another packed week in P3B.
In literacy, the children had reading on Monday, they began to read the books they were taking home, we have been reading these together throughout the week too. The children also wrote descriptions of themselves using fantastic adjectives, making word banks first to allow them to think carefully about the words they could use. The descriptions are very good. They also did some work on punctuation; how to use question marks correctly.
In numeracy, we have been learning about place value and partitioning numbers. We have played different games to help our understanding and have started to use our new maths jotters with squared paper – learning how to lay out our number work correctly. They are looking great!
On Thursday the children got the chance to be ‘Play Leaders.’ In small groups, they visited the P1 classrooms, assisting them with their activities and modelling good play. The P3 children helped with turn taking and sharing, gave them ideas and helped them to really engage in the play. They showed all 5 of our school values and really enjoyed themselves too!
We have been looking a little more at trees – the trunk and branches this week. In art we looked at the shapes and forms of the branches and used bright colours to create eye catching pictures. The colouring was quite restful too, a good bit of mindfulness 🙂
Our Superhero Class Charter is really coming on, just needing a title now!
At Assembly on Friday we were presented with ‘Peggy Bear.’ She will stay with us in P3 for the week. We won her for walking quietly and sensibly through the school. We have been working hard at being good role models for the younger children and it is being noticed! Great work P3B 🙂
Have a great weekend.
P3B and Mrs Kennedy
