Here are this week\u2019s highlights from the Blue and Red tables:<\/p>\n
Alicja liked PE this week where we continued to practise the 3 passes needed for bench ball.\u00a0 We also practised having the ball travel from one side of the hall to another, with our partner, using these passes and not moving our feet when we held the ball.<\/p>\n
Caleb and Caiden both report that playing football with Miss White was the highlight of their week.\u00a0 The children could not get outside for football the last number of Thursdays due to the weather.<\/p>\n
Ethan loved litter picking this week.\u00a0 We walked around the local community picking up litter.\u00a0 We co-operated well with our partner as one person had the picker and one had the bag.\u00a0 They swapped regularly especially as the bag continued to get heavier.\u00a0 Great job P3A!<\/p>\n
Chahiti has been enjoying learning about boats from the past, present and having a think about boats in the future.\u00a0 We saw one design online we were impressed with.\u00a0 We thought it looked like a fish and thought the design allowed for it to go underwater and above the water too!\u00a0 We then used tinfoil to make our own boat.\u00a0 We manipulated the foil.\u00a0 It had to hold the weight of 5 cubes and float for 10 seconds. We had a few that sunk.\u00a0 We then thought about why it might of sunk and how we could of designed it differently.<\/p>\n
Zion liked learning about germs with Mrs Callaghan.\u00a0 We know to sneeze and cough into our elbow if a tissue is not available.\u00a0 The children then practised washing their hands for 20 seconds (the length of time it takes to sing \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019).\u00a0 We then rubbed bread onto different surfaces in our classroom to investigate which one had the most germs.\u00a0 We choose: clean hands, a table surface, the carpet, a device and a pencil.\u00a0 We will watch with interest over the coming weeks!\u00a0 Watch this space!<\/p>\n
Jiade enjoyed going to the Book Fair.\u00a0 The children took home a slip with 3 titles of books they wanted.\u00a0 They hoped Santa might bring them or indeed, as a treat, they might get 1 ordered.<\/p>\n
Tadwia and Deveena both said the learning highlight of this week was listening to the Parable of \u2018The Lost Son\u2019.\u00a0 We learned that Jesus used stories with a message.\u00a0 We listened to \u2018The Lost Coin\u2019, \u2018The Lost Sheep\u2019 and \u2018The Lost Son\u2019.\u00a0 The children were overjoyed to hear that the angels rejoice in Heaven when one sinner returns to God and repents.<\/p>\n
Jack loved sharing his maths jotter with his family last night during Parent Consultations.\u00a0 He was very proud of how he managed to put each digit in the small squares.\u00a0 Well done Jack!<\/p>\n
My highlight was our RE lesson on November being a month when we especially pray for those who have died.\u00a0 The children went around in a circle and shared who they would like to pray for.\u00a0 We had a lovely flickering candle on the Smartboard and music playing.\u00a0 It was a reverent, special time.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Riley, our hot chocolate award winner this week!<\/p>\n
