A big hello to all the families of P3!\u00a0 What fantastic children you have!\u00a0 We have had a lovely few days together, having fun and getting to know one another.\u00a0 As each day passes, we will incorporate more and more learning.\u00a0 This week we have been getting refamiliarized with school life; the routines and expectations of behaviour.\u00a0 The layout of the classroom means that your child is in one of 3 table groups.\u00a0 The names they chose for them are: The Red Pandas, The Polar Bears and The Ferrets.\u00a0 Each week one of the table groups will share what they have enjoyed most about their week.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs together and discussing what you see and read.\u00a0 This week we have The Red Pandas:<\/p>\n

Daniel enjoyed learning about \u2018The Feast of the Assumption\u2019.\u00a0 We learned that Mary ascended into Heaven and this is remembered each year on the 15th<\/sup> August.\u00a0 We learned about the meaning of the words of the Hail Mary prayer and next week we will learn actions to accompany the words.<\/p>\n

Alex said he really enjoyed playing with the blocks during \u2018Choosing our own Learning\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

Leighton liked the lesson with Skittles.\u00a0 Depending on what colour the children chose, they had to answer a question before eating it.\u00a0 The questions were either: What job would you like to do when you are older?\u00a0 \u00a0Who lives in your house\/s? or Would you like to be a tiny horse or an enormous chicken?\u00a0 Leighton thought she would like to be a tiny horse as she liked the idea of being really small.<\/p>\n

Laaibah has enjoyed playing with some LOL dolls with her friends.<\/p>\n

Viaan loved PE where the children have been practising the 3 different passes required for Benchball: chest pass, bounce pass and overhead pass.\u00a0 We had a little practise of playing the game after developing these ball skills but will properly learn next week.<\/p>\n

Danvith has loved listening to our class novel, The Twits. \u00a0So far, we have learned about one trick that Mrs Twit played on Mr Twit and afterwards we learned about the different parts of the eye and drew our eye.\u00a0 Ask your child if they can remember the trick involving an eyeball!<\/p>\n

Amelia liked colouring in and has been a frequent visitor to the craft area this week during \u2018Choosing our own Learning\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

Maja enjoyed drawing Mr and Mrs Twit.\u00a0 At first, the children listened to the character descriptions in the novel\u00a0and using their imagination, they had to draw them.\u00a0 Afterwards I revealed what they looked like to see if they were close.<\/p>\n

Tyler F has loved playing Connect 4 with friends.<\/p>\n

Nathan liked the feelings check-in each morning.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing you all at Meet the Teacher next Wednesday after school.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry if you cannot make it as I will send a copy of any slides home the following day.<\/p>\n

Just a little reminder about labelling your child\u2019s jumper and water bottle.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

I hope you have a lovely weekend and manage to enjoy some of the lovely weather.<\/p>\n

Mrs Brown<\/p>\n
