P3 Weekly Round Up!

Wow! This week has gone by in a flash!

Some highlights of our week have included…

Our Achievement assembly! Mr McCurdy presented this very special whole school assembly on Wednesday to tell us all about our schools fantastic achievement of our School Sports GOLD award! Our very own Sophie was included in this assembly too for a fantastic swimming achievement! Please remember to send in any of your child’s achievements from outside of school.. these can be for anything your child has learned to do or anything they have taken part in that has made you proud of them!

We are VERY proud of P3 for their enthusiasm for our Enterprise stall – the lollipop tombola! We spent the week getting organised for the Christmas fair on Thursday night – with everyone in the class having a part of the creation of our lollipop stall! We did everything from scratch – and our stall was run completely on donations from our parents and carers! A huge THANK YOU from us to you 🙂

We started by making posters to entice people over to our stall – bright colours, only a few words and phrases – we hope you were impressed when you seen them! Next job was painting the donated shoe boxes – they looked fab by the time they were finished! We counted the prizes, then split them across our four table groups. Two children from each group were responsible for colouring the ends of 31 lollies for their table – to correspond with their 31 prizes! The prizes were added to boxes of shredded paper for the special lucky dip factor. Two helpers from each table took responsibility for making holes in their tables box by using a hammer and a nail! This was very exciting and the safety conscious pupils made sure they were wearing safety specs and high vis vests! Once this was all done it was time to fill the holes with lollies and get the boxes ready for the fair! A fantastic enterprising experience for our children and one which made around £58 on the night! Well done P3!

Unfortunately as the weather has taken a turn for the worse (thanks Storm Diana!) we have had to adapt our daily mile routine! We enjoyed following a Body Coach schools workout on Wednesday – raising our heart rate and boosting our fitness… And on Friday we enjoyed a Go Noodle workout, finishing with a great breathing exercise to calm us into being ready for Number Talks!

Our usual timetable had to alter slightly this week due to preparation for the Christmas fair and the completion of our Oral Book Review solo talks – we are looking forward to business as usual next week… especially quality time with our reading groups! 🙂

Thank you for your continued support! 24 sleeps until Santa 🙂
