Hello P3A families,

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

Chahiti has been enjoying making her tote bag.  She is making it out of an old pink t-shirt.  Thank you to all who donated items for this Earth Day project!  Each day a few children will make it with Mrs Brown’s help during ‘Choosing our own Learning’ time in the afternoons.  Hopefully it won’t be long until all who has made one has finished.  We have had some super ideas as to how these tote bags will be used.  They will be some children’s swimming bags, gymnastics bags, Judo bags and some are making it for their parents to use!

Ethan has enjoyed listening to the personal talks this week.  Those who opted for this activity have delivered most interesting talks.  The children have been working hard on making eye contact and projecting their voice when speaking in front of an audience.  If your child still wishes to deliver a personal talk then it is not too late!  They only need to let me know.

Rory said the highlight of his week was football with Miss Whyte who very generously bought trophies for the children!  They were awarded to those who demonstrated good teamwork and passes in the game.

Alicaj enjoyed observing some white roses each day to see if they changed colour!  The children have been learning about the role of the stem.  We set up some water containing coloured food dye and have watched as the petals received this water and turned it a different colour!  The stem acted a bit like a straw!

My highlight was our lessons on how we can reduce our carbon footprint!  The children were very passionate about this subject and are hoping to educate their parents on how we can all take better care of God’s beautiful world for future generations by acting now!

Congratulations to Jiade, our hot chocolate award winner this week!

Lead Learners were Alicaj and Grace.  They had the important role of looking out for people who were demonstrating our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe.  They also get to say something extra for the blog:

Alicaj – “I liked playing Rounders in the PE hall.”

Grace – “I liked writing the Earth Day poems.”

Maths homework next week will be sent home on paper.  It links a health lesson on the importance of sleep with our learning about Time.  The following week it will be National Screen Free Week.  All homework for P3A will be paper versions that week in light of this.

 

Regards

Mrs Brown
