P3A are really enjoying our class novel – James and the Giant Peach. We answered some comprehension questions about the story on Monday, to show our understanding of the characters and the storyline.
On Tuesday, we had an adjectives lesson all about peaches. We listened to Roald Dahl’s excellent description of the peach and worked in pairs to highlight all the adjectives he used. We tasted peaches and peach juice and then worked in groups, using our senses to think of words to describe the peach – what is looks, smells, tastes and feels like. This gave us some great adjectives. Working on our own, we wrote interesting sentences about peaches using some of the adjectives we had come up with. We were trying to write even better than Roald Dahl.
As part of our Hawaiian topic, we had an art lesson on Green Turtles. We used oil pastels to draw turtles and create fantastic patterns on the shells. We then used paint for the sea. They look amazing! I can’t wait to get them up on the wall.
The response to our request for Aldi stickers has been amazing we now only need about 20 to reach the total of 300. P3A have worked hard emptying our post box each day and sticking them on the huge poster in the correct spaces. We’ll keep you updated on the sports kit that we receive and we’ll let you know if we win the £20,000!
There was great excitement this week as we started using maths jotters with squared paper pages. Going from a workbook where there are spaces to write the answer to using a text book where you have to write out the sum and the answer is quite a big step. We practised how to lay out the page first and we are now really getting the hang of it. We have begun addition and we are writing our sums and answers clearly. We finished our Symmetry topic by drawing our own symmetrical pictures or patterns on squared paper, this allowed Mrs Kennedy to see how well we have understood the topic. We all did a super job 🙂
In French we have been learning greetings and how to order our lunch. We had a really good Languages Assembly on Friday led by the school’s Language Ambassadors, we were singing in French, Spanish and German.
Have a good weekend 🙂 P3A and Mrs Kennedy
