Primary 3 have had a fantastic week filled with lots of learning and fun. Here are some of our highlights
This week in numeracy we have been developing our knowledge of the 3 and 4 times table. We love playing games to help us learn the times tables. Some of our favourite games are Buzz and Multiplication bumps. We have been learning about arrays to help us with multiplication. We used our knowledge of arrays to create array art.
In maths we been learning how to convert analogue time into digital time.
We have been using a new writing scheme to help us to write a recount. This week we wrote our own recount about our morning routine. We have been learning about the structure of a recount and some time and sequence words to help us write our morning routine in order. (e.g. first, next, then, soon afterwards and finally.)
We enjoy learning about new spelling patterns in fun and creative ways. One of our favourites is tennis spelling.
We have been developing our reading skills and our understanding of texts by answering literal, inferential and evaluative questions about our reading books. We have also been enjoying reading for pleasure with our new reading books from the library and the books Adam and Esmee chose from Waterstones last week. As a class we have chosen to read David Walliams new book ‘Fing’. We think it is fantastic.
Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning all about the characteristics of living things. This week we explored our outdoor area to find as many living things as possible. We found some really interesting living things like centipedes, woodlouse, caterpillars, stick insects, beetles, daffodils and lavender. We couldn’t believe how many living things are all around us.
On Tuesday we really enjoyed welcoming our parents to our class for ‘Stay, Play and Be Well’. It was a lovely afternoon sharing lots of our learning with our parents. We did some role on the wall to explore some body sensations and behaviours, we designed a boat for skipper to help us on our river of life, we had discussions about the challenges that we have faced and might face when on our river of life, we wrote letters to Skipper to ask him some questions about how he manages his emotions during difficult times and we did some story massage with ‘The Gruffalo’.
This week we had a lovely surprise. We have a brand new playroom to help us develop our creativity and imagination. There are lots of different activities and resources for us to play with.
Ask us all about it at home!
Have a lovely weekend
Mrs Wassell, Mrs Conway and P3.
James enjoyed recounting his morning routine this week, he told us all about it at home. He’s enjoyed Mrs Scott’s reading challenge this week too, and has read both of the library books he borrowed last week. He was excited to tell us about the new playroom too, P3 are lucky to have this new resource 😊💚💛
