A quick week it has been!
The boys in girls in P3 have packed in so much learning to three short days!
We are so excited to begin our science topics! Mrs Scott will be exploring the Skeleton with the class and Mrs Conway will lead the learning about the sun, moon and stars – with a focus on the patterns of night and day! We have started to think about both of these and the things we would like to learn about.
Wednesday saw a class vote for our new class novel! The choices were Fantastic Mr Fox, How to Train Your Dragon and Gangsta’ Granny. As How to Train your Dragon and Gangsta’ Granny got three votes each we asked those who chose Fantastic Mr Fox to vote again… which led to Gangsta’ Granny as the overall winner!!! We will read short parts of this novel as a class over the next few months at suitable times in the school day. We continue to promote reading for enjoyment in our class – if there’s a novel or book that your child enjoys at home, please allow them to bring it to school to read for enjoyment on Wednesdays/Thursdays 🙂
This week saw the end of our symmetry topic in maths – and a tricky topic it has been! Some of the boys and girls moved on to creating symmetrical block patterns, which we found quite tricky. Here is a great symmetry matching game which explores reflective symmetry, perhaps you could try it at home?

This morning we had our first pupil committees! The P1-3 committees are play based and range from outdoor learning to games to Mini Glee! This was a big hit with our boys and girls and we are already looking forward to the next meeting!
Keep an eye on your post over the coming days as today we popped some important mail in the post box 😉
At the end of the day today we reflected on our week and the things we enjoyed the most;
Ephraim ‘we were playing a game called poisonous ball in PE, I enjoyed that you got to throw your ball and if it hit the other teams bench their bench would be poisoned’
Amber ‘I liked doing my committee today – it was arts and crafts – I made one painting and one drawing’
Klaudia ‘I really enjoyed the committees. I did the mini glee – we are going to perform on the stage!’
Adam ‘ I liked when we were doing our textbook work in maths’
Sahara ‘I loved posting my letter’
Kerr ‘I liked doing the picture of the world in RE’
We are looking forward to distributing homework on Monday which reflects the changes in our home learning policy following feedback from pupils, parents and staff – stay tuned! 🙂
Have a fantastic weekend!
James said that his favourite part of the week was “fun 31”, he explained how “golden time” was renamed to reflect article 31- children have the right to have fun! Great title 😊 He is looking forward to his new Science topics ☠🌞🌚⭐
His mum is looking forward to receiving something in the post this week!
