Hello P3A families,

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

Jack enjoyed football with Miss White and scored a penalty!  Well done Jack!

Tvisha and Caiden both said the best part of their week was learning about the 4 Times Tables.  The children are improving at counting by 4s from memory and have especially enjoyed the song with the tune from ‘I’m Still Standing’ found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QU_E0u-tP4

Hafsah has liked the start of our new ‘Conservation of Wildlife’ topic.  We learned that some animals are in danger of becoming extinct and that means they are ‘endangered’.  Through the WWF website, we discovered the top ten endangered animals.  This week we researched two, mountain gorillas and African forest elephants and wrote information reports about them.  Hafsah enjoyed the videos we watched were we took notes to inform our reports.   These can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHhSCO5-3Pg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk3VdpuFx0Q

Grace loved listening to a story called ‘The Singing Mermaid’ as we cooled down with our water bottle after PE.

Tadwia has continued to enjoy the heroes of Troy lessons during music with Mrs Morrison.

Deveena loves our new ‘Word of the Day’ resource.  We practise saying the word and discuss its meaning during our snack.  She loved Friday’s word,  ‘impeccable’.

Zion continues to enjoy lessons about Lent.  The children were reminded what their Lenten promise was and are working hard to sacrifice this as they remembered Jesus’ time in the desert.

Jiade loved benchball.  For the remainder of the term, P3A will be developing their bat and ball skills during PE.

My highlight was our visit to St Peter’s Church on Friday.  The children were very respectful and were amazing ambassadors for our school.  Mrs McLaughlin was very impressed that the children knew the words to the Our Father so well and could say the prayer reverently, conveying the meaning in their slow pace.

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

Lead Learners were Ollie and Caleb.  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:

Caleb: “I liked learning about mountain gorillas.”

Ollie: “Me too!

Regards

Mrs Brown
