P3 Weekly News

Learning Overview

In literacy we have completed our work on writing procedures by writing instructions to cross the road.  Look out for our fabulous work in our jotters and see how we have included goals, materials and steps as well as using strong verbs, adjectives and punctuation.  We loved peer-assessing each other’s work as we took a learning walk around the classroom then had great fun stealing ideas from each other!  Handwriting has been another focus this week and we have begun to join easy words – ill, tilt, lit and it.  We used our success criteria to self assess this work – look out for the pink and green highlighted work in our jotters.  We all love a highlighter in P3!

In maths we have continued our work on addition and subtraction by using fact families and multiples of ten to help us add.  We’ve loved using counting beads to help us work and worked really well with our learning partners.

Our health and well-being focus has been road safety week and we’ve been busy writing procedures to cross the road and making safety posters.  Road safety was our outdoor learning focus as we designed roads in the playground then helped our friends to cross safely.

We loved sharing our Read, Write, Count bags with our families on Wednesday – it was great to have so many families join us to explore the contents of our lovely bags.

Drama was another highlight as we explored different ways of using our voices and had great fun trying to make our voices sound high and low, loud and quiet, slow and fast.

Pupil Voice 

Abigail’s highlight was the visit from the Five Sisters Zoo. The zookeeper told us all about endangered animals and her job.

Road safety week was Micah’s highlight because he learned how to stay safe near roads. He especially loved making a poster to keep others safe.

Riley loved creating pictures of how we look when we feel good, in Smart Start, as part of our work on Resilience

.Next Steps – Home Learning Opportunities

Maths – Work on fact families for numbers to 20.  You can use the counters in your maths pack to help you .  An example is 3 + 7 = 10, 7 + 3 = 10, 10 – 3 = 7 and 10 – 7 = 3.

Literacy –  Explore the contents of the Read, Write, Count bags.  You can record your learning on your One Note profile.

Health and Well-Being  This week our focus has been road safety. Remember to use your skills when you’re crossing the road with your family.  More activities and information are available on the Brake Road Safety website.

  1. Thank you for sharing your learning with us this week, I also enjoyed the visit from 5 Sisters Zoo, being a Zoo Keeper sounds like such an interesting job! I’ve tried some of the Drama Box activities with P2 and we are also loving them!
