Learning Overview
Literacy
This week we wrote descriptions of our school bags, with a focus on adjectives and action verbs. In spelling we consolidated our learning by using our newly-found typing skills to type our words then change size and font. In Word Boost, our boost words were sink, wreck, consult, rattle, havoc and advice. We have continued to listen to The Bolds To The Rescue, read by the author Julian Clary, with lots of giggles throughout. The hardest part of listening to this book, we all agree, is switching off the audio book at the end of each chapter.
Maths
In maths we have learnt about fractions – making and naming equal parts and then identifying equal parts. Our next step is to name fractions then to count fractions. Everyone had a great time making fractions, cutting them out then checking their work.
HWB
Our focus this week has been on wider achievements when all the children shared the amazing things that they have achieved outside school – ranging from baking a cake to swimming lengths of the pool!
IDL
Learning on the Vikings continues to engage everyone and we used Mighty Writer to create fabulous imaginative stories about our character, Sam The Viking. After researching artefacts and discussing sources of evidence everyone designed their own Viking shield. We were surprised to learn that a Viking shield could be a metre wide!

From Mrs Caskie, Mrs Keegan and P3
I always enjoy reading your blog posts, learning in P3 sounds like so much fun!
It’s great to see how you use digital technology to enhance your learning in different areas of the curriculum.
I have read Julian Clary’s book too – it is very funny!
