Hello P3A families,

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

Linda said that the best part of her week was the letter we wrote to the SSPCA.  In our class novel, The Twits, Mr and Mrs Twit treat animals cruelly!  We decided something had to be done about this!  So we wrote to the SSPCA in the hope that they would get arrested.  The children know that this is a fiction book and the letters are not actually being posted.  Examining letter writing is something we have looked at since we stared P3.

Grace loved looking up Egyptian keywords on the ipads.  This term, we are going to be studying The Ancient Egyptians, The Vikings and The Romans for 2 weeks each.  We started off by looking up The River Nile, the pyramids, hieroglyphics and desert on the ipads.  Grace enjoyed viewing the pyramids the best.

Tvisha enjoyed her music lesson with Mrs Morrison where the children sung a song about a treasure island.

Hafsah loved handwriting.  We joined i and g this week.

Jack, who eats and breaths football, has chosen playing a football game, similar to Subbuteo, as the best part of his week.  The children love this game so much, that we have had to introduce a timetable of when they can play it, to give those who want to, a turn.

Tadiwa absolutely loves being challenged in maths.  We have started a ‘Challenge of the Day’ maths sum.  He enjoys trying this.

Deveena loves our crafts table and this week made a dolls house.  She said this was the highlight of her week.

Jiade liked PE with me this week.  For out warm up, 4 children wore a coloured vest and had to catch the other children and put them in their corner which was marked with the same coloured cone.  The team with the most children won.  Jiade really enjoyed this game.

My highlight was our House Group activity on Friday.  The children went to different classes around the school where their House was.  Each House completed an activity of designing a super hero and giving it a super power that would help them to receive their rights.

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

Thank you to all parents who returned the reading book on Friday.  If you ever need more time with it, please let me know.  Just a reminder that new books will be issued on a Monday, to be returned on the Friday.   Keeping them in the homework pack provided, will keep them protected against spilled water bottles.  Literacy and Maths homework, issued through Seesaw, will go out on a Monday and due in for the following Monday (but can be submitted any time before then).

Regards

Mrs Brown
