Science – Last week, P3 had to decide what they wanted to learn about skeletons. Mrs Scott wrote their questions in the class Talking Book. There is a photo below that shows you all the different questions they have! Ask your child to tell you what they know about the ‘strings’ on their hand!
P3 have been learning why we have skeletons as well as the names of some of the bones and the special jobs some of them do. Ask your child if they can tell you the special job that the rib cage does or one of the reasons a skeleton is important!
Sophie YM – I liked learning about the jobs of a skeleton.
Cameron – I enjoyed it when Kate and Emma drew an outline around Lennon and then we all took turns to cut out the bones and place them where they belonged.
Why don’t you sing and dance to this Skeleton song?

Writing – P3 were learning the very tricky writing technique of using similes this week. Their writing was super!
Here is a Simile Song we watched and listened to on Thursday.

Maliha – I had to imagine I was a firework and I used similes to help describe myself…
Jack – If I were a beautiful, shiny firework….. Richard – I would be as high as the moon…..
Maths – In Maths, looking at digital time and matching digital times with the analogue clock times has been a little tricky! These matching pairs are helpful.

Numeracy – we are learning the importance of being able to think about our own strategies for doubling big numbers and talk about them.
Art – this week we were painting a picture of the rainforest and later on this term part of our topic is going to look at animals in the rainforest!
Have a lovely weekend everyone! Mrs Scott and P3
Sophie enjoyed the skeleton outline task with Lennon’s body shape. She was able to tell us about the task.
Great to hear – the children had lots of fun with it. They are so interested in skeletons!
Sophie said the skelton was her favorite and she was able to tell us all about.
Michael and Richard have been asking lots of questions about telling the time and trying hard to do this as much as they can at home.
Emily has been counting a lot in double digits this week and we have to take turns asking the questions and answering. I think Emily is doing better than me.
