Hello P3A families,
Here are this week’s highlights from the Blue table:
Angel has enjoyed our learning about 2D shapes. His favourite was a circle. The children learned a little trick to help them remember the name of a ‘pentagon’. They now visualise it as a hotel and see the penthouse suite at the top! We will continue to learn about shape next week.
Ollie said the best part of his week was adding within 100. The children have been using Dienes maths resources to support them with addition. We will be doing much addition and subtraction within 100 throughout the year. The children made a good start on their understanding of it this week.
Caleb also loved maths this week. The class has a counting teddy, which they named ‘Lila’. Lila helps us count to warm up our brains before our maths lesson. This week we have revised counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, forwards and backwards (revision from P2).
Laura loved the production of ‘The Jungle Book’. A big thank you to the PFA for this annual treat!
Vivien liked PE with Mr Pentland this week. They played some getting to know you activities. Vivien shared her love of gymnastics. Mr Pentland takes the class on a Monday for PE and I take the class on a Tuesday for PE.
My highlight was an activity we did as a follow up to our class novel, The Twits. The children had to work in pairs (one being Mr Twit and the other, Mrs Twit) and using a stimulus, had to play a trick on the other person (The Twits are always playing tricks on one another). We had some creative ideas from P3A! Ask your child what trick they played!
Congratulations to our Hot Chocolate award winner this week, Deveena!
Homework will begin next week and will be found on your child’s Seesaw account. I ask that homework packs remain in the school bags to protect the reading books and are brought to school everyday. Thank you. Can your child also take a water bottle and snack with them to school each day to help keep them hydrated and provide energy between meal times. Thank you.
Regards
Mrs Brown
