Hello families of P3!<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s update is brought to you by The Ferrets:<\/p>\n

Ellie enjoyed House groups activities today.\u00a0 The children separated into their different Houses and completed activities centred around the idea of \u2018relationships\u2019.<\/p>\n

Eliza reports how she liked our Daily Mile each day.\u00a0 After break time, the children in P3 walk around the playground 4 times.\u00a0 This health initiative is to help foster a healthy lifestyle from a young age.<\/p>\n

Izaan said the best part of his week has been learning about 2D shapes.\u00a0 New shapes we focused on were pentagons, hexagons and octagons.\u00a0 I gave the children little stories to help remember their names.\u00a0 Ask your child if they can remember these stories.\u00a0 Izaan thought the octagon was \u201creally cool\u201d as it had 8 sides like 8 legs of an octopus.\u00a0 We discovered that each of these shapes had the same number of sides as vertices (pointy parts).<\/p>\n

Sofia loved continuing to learn about Creation.\u00a0 If your child wishes to rewatch the beautiful little video clip about this, click (or paste the link) here: Bible Story Series: Genesis The Creation of World<\/a><\/p>\n

Matteo has continued to enjoy playing Benchball!\u00a0 Super co-operation P3!<\/p>\n

Vihaan has loved our learning so far about the Vikings.\u00a0 He liked it when we looked at a real one in a museum in Oslo: The Collection – Museum of the Viking Age<\/a><\/p>\n

Joseph\u2019s highlight of the week was listening to our class novel, The Twits. \u00a0His favourite part was when the boys escaped from being stuck to the branch of the big dead tree.\u00a0 They wiggled out of their trousers and ran away (Joseph was giggling at the pictures of their bums).<\/p>\n

Tyler liked revising common words (reading and writing of them) from P2.<\/p>\n

My highlight has been learning about the Viking longboats.\u00a0 It was fantastic for the children to visualise the length of an actual boat.\u00a0 The children have been eating up the facts about these boats and about the Viking burials.\u00a0 We discussed what we would be buried with if we had of been Vikings.\u00a0 The children said I would need to be buried with my laptop to be a teacher in the next life!\u00a0 I wonder if I would have had wifi!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Viaan, our hot chocolate award winner this week!<\/p>\n

I hope you all have a great weekend!<\/p>\n

Mrs Brown<\/p>\n
