We flew to Honolulu on Monday! When we arrived at P3A we had to check in our luggage, then we were all given boarding passes which were checked before we boarded our flight. We listened to the onboard safety instructions and took off on our journey.
Mrs Kennedy had a suitcase filled with pictures and items to stimulate discussion on what we would like to learn about Hawaii. We all wrote three questions and our lessons will be planned to answer these as we explore the topic.
Some P7s came to teach us maths on Monday. They had planned some place value activities for us. They were good teachers and we enjoyed having them in our class.
In literacy this week, we were practising our questioning skills. We listened to and watched a story on the Oxford Owl website. The story was called Paris Adventure. After the story we worked in groups to come up with questions beginning with the words – who, what, where, when, why and how to check if our friends had been listening carefully. We came up with really interesting questions and they they were mostly answered correctly 🙂
The Oxford Owl website is free and the ‘e books’ section has some of our reading books. You can also search for books at the same level as the children are reading in class.
Some busy Play leaders this week. P1 had a lot of fun.
The school is taking part in the Aldi sticker challenge and P3A have been asked to collect the stickers for the whole school! We need to collect 300 to get some sports kit and to be entered into a competition to win £20,000 for the school. Please send in any stickers you get.
In PE, we begun to play full games of benchball – it was very fast and noisy and we were really good. Next time we will work on looking for spaces so our teammates can pass to us easily.
In art we created new front covers for James and the Giant peach using collage. They are all quite different and there are lots of super designs.
After that busy week, we are ready for a long weekend. Have fun 🙂
P3A and Mrs Kennedy
