Hello P3A families,

Here are this week’s highlights from the Yellow table:

Riley said he enjoyed learning our long i vowel sound.  We know this can be made up of the spelling patterns: ‘igh’, i_e (magic e), ie and _y.  Look out for this sound in next week’s Literacy homework.

Hasika recounts how the best part of her week was learning about the ‘Ten Commandments’.  The children know that all the Commandments can be divided into loving God and loving our neighbour.

Aadya liked learning about hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptian way of recording numbers and letters.  The children made their own papyrus looking paper by tea staining paper and when it dried they chose their own number and wrote it using this ancient way of recording.  They also wrote their name using their symbols.

Zion liked learning about the Great Pyramids.  The children made their own pyramid using a square based net.  Some P6s were on hand to help.

Alicjia loved our lessons about tiling 2D shape.  After an unsuccessful attempt at tiling random sized shapes, the children came to the realisation that tiling can only be done if the shapes are the same size.  We demonstrated this using shapes printed on paper and also through duplicating shapes on Seesaw.

Diana loved a PE co-operative game called ‘Crossing the River’.  Ask your child to explain to you how to play it.  Why not try it as a family and see if you can cross the river!  If possible, it was be great to see a photo or video on Seesaw for the class to enjoy!

My highlight was seeing the enthusiasm of two pupils who were very focused on mixing paints together to find out what other colours could be made.  They have started a discovery book and hope to share their findings with the class!

Congratulations to Jack, our Hot Chocolate award winner this week!

Mrs Brown
