We came back to P2M refreshed after our Easter holidays and ready for more exciting learning. There have been a few changes to our learning, one of which is our personalised tricky words. The children were really excited about this challenge in class and were keen to practise their tricky words. We spend 10 minutes every day Monday-Thursday practising reading these words with our partner. Have you enjoyed practising this at home too?
We started our new PE topic of athletics on Wednesday, each different event is a competition with all points going towards our interhouse championship. On Monday in PE, we finished off our ball games topic in PE by having a benchball tournament. It was lots of fun and all teams were very competitive.
Our number topic of multiplication is coming to an end but not before working on some really tricky sums! We were using our multiplication sums to find the missing number in a multiplication sum. Miss Meechan was very impressed with how quickly we all managed to find the missing number.
Have you heard about our ‘Creative Industries’ week? We have participated in a range of activities for this week. On Tuesday we were lucky to join in with a music workshop. It was lots of fun! We learned a new song to sing; kept the beat of the song by clapping and played lots of different instruments.
We also finished our ‘mod rock’ cars. What do you think? We have really enjoyed making these and love the finished results.
On Thursday we created a comic strip with a partner. We had to choose 2 different characters and think about an adventure that these 2 characters could be involved with. After making our comic strip we used our ideas to out on a puppet show to the rest of the class using our new puppet theatre.
We are still learning to tell the time in our maths topic. This week we were learning how to tell the time on ‘half past’ the hour. We then worked out the difference between o’clock and half past.
The game for our maths homework next week is based on this school. Please use this link below for next week’s homework:

Finally, we would like to show you everything that we have bought using the money we made from our bake sale. Thank you to everyone who bought some goodies from our bake sale. 
Sophie was delighted when the arrival of the new toys and games arrived, she can’t wait to try them all out!
What a great start to the new term! It’s great to read about your new challenges in spelling and how hard you have been working on multiplication.
You are such a lucky class to be able to use all those new toys I will pop in next week and you can tell me all about them.
Miss S😀
Michael and Richard would like to learn more about the emergency services as part of their topic. They would like to learn how to make a 999 call.
What a great idea boys, I shall include that in our topic plan.
Sophie would like to learn about nurses and midwives (she likes babies!), she wants to help people when she is older.
Sophie enjoyed playing this week’s maths game and confidently made the o’clock and half past times.
This is a great idea, Sophie. We don’t have that on our plan so I shall add that. Sophie was telling us on Tuesday that she would like to be a midwife when she is older.
Emily would like to know more about Paramedics. How do you call them and how they help people in an emergency. Emily wants to be a Paramedic when she is older.
Emily is very excited with the new topic and very excited about the new toys.

I’m glad you are enjoying our new topic!
