Literacy
This week we have been learning all about road safety as it’s Road Safety Week. We have been creating posters with our own catchy slogans to promote road safety. We have also been developing our reading skills by reading a passage all about road safety and answering some questions about what we read. We talked about why it is important to develop our reading skills and why we need to be able to read for our future. We discussed lots of jobs that require reading skills and also talked about day to day activities that also require us to read e.g. driving a car. The children were very excited about the thought of driving in the future. Yasmin cannot wait to get her Lamborghini. We have been working on writing procedures over the last few weeks. We have been exploring the structure and language features of different procedures. This week we were writing a recipe for delicious coconut truffles that we made. We enjoyed Mrs Smiths visit during our writing lesson.
Numeracy
This week we have been further developing our understanding of addition with carrying. We can now add 3 digit numbers with carrying. We have also been working on fact families and recognise relationships between addition and subtraction.
Health and Wellbeing
We have enjoyed PE this week preparing for our Christmas Party with our Scottish Dancing. We are really enjoying spreading kindness in our class with our ‘Special Person of the Day’. Check out Mrs Wassell’s twitter to see all the lovely comments from our friends about us!
Pupil Voice
Hi everyone, it’s Dawid and Kerr here with our weekly highlights! We loved PE this week learning new Scottish dances. We really enjoyed food technology making chocolate and coconut truffles and then writing our recipe for how to make them. We liked our big Topic afternoon where we get to do different activities. We learned all about melting, boiling and freezing in Science. We used our knowledge of melting to make Krispie cakes. In the Enterprise activity each group has to create a company name and logo for their products to sell at the Christmas fayre. We also love spending time with our friends in the playroom. We like playing twister and using the Lego to create different things.
Home Learning
We have been learning how to write a recipe this week. Look at some recipe books or some recipes online. Do they all have the same structure? Can you use one of the recipes to make something? Make sure you ask an adult to help. Take some pics and put them on your glow?
We have talked lots about skills this week. Think about a job you would like to do in the future. What skills would you need to do this job? Here are some examples; reading, writing, problem solving, creativity, communication, digital technology, numeracy, teamwork
Have a great weekend
Mrs Wassell and P3/4
What a great week P3/4. It sounds like you have been on a mini version of The Apprentice with your Enterprise activities — I just hope Mrs Wassell hasn’t told anyone “you’re fired!”
I’m hoping James will be able to remember the recipe for coconut truffles, they sound delicious – I’d love to try them!
