Hello P3A families,
Here are this week’s highlights from the Yellow table:
Hasika has enjoyed learning about the Ancient Romans’ toilets and baths. We learned that poor people who lived in the city would go to the toilet in a bucket that was then emptied from the windows to the ground below. Anyone who was walking under the window at that time got a nasty surprise! It then became the law that it could only happen at night. The children were shocked to hear that this very thing happened in Edinburgh in the past! We also looked at pictures of a bench with holes that was built over a stream. The water washed the waste away.
Angel also liked learning about the Ancient Romans. His favourite learning was about under floor heating in villas that belonged to the rich. Hot air from a fire was pumped through tunnels under the villas. We can thank the Ancient Romans for their contributions to early plumbing.
Aadya liked revising the ‘ar’ sound and opted to complete a follow up worksheet of matching sentences to pictures.
Olivia said she enjoyed handwriting.
Diana and Laura joined the other St Ninan House winners today to celebrate them earning the most house points. They enjoyed a movie and snacks in the PE hall.
Vivien also enjoyed learning about the ‘ar’ sound and made some stars with playdoh.
My favourite part of the week was our discussion on what to turn our role-play area into. The majority voted for a cinema. Those that were involved researched the price online and decided to reduce it to attract people to their cinema. They got busy making tickets and popcorn and laying out the chairs. They were very creative with their ideas and did super teamwork.
Congratulations to Jiade, our hot chocolate award winner this week!
I hope you all enjoy the October break and will see you back on Tuesday 17th October.
Regards
Mrs Brown
