During Friday Reward Time, P3B enjoyed face-painting and dressing up in Halloween costumes!

Happy Hallowe’en

At the beginning of the week we decide what we would like to do for our Friday Reward Time. This week we could choose construction, art, sand, house/kitchen, smart board games or reading in the cosy corner. Here are some of us enjoying our reward for great effort all week!

Money week !
Last week was money week and we were learning about budgets. We did lots of activities. In one of our tasks we focussed on budgeting for the making of a movie .We interviewed Arianne and Scarlett and Abi and Josh

Arianne:    Myself and Alisha were doing a maths sum for money week we were under the budget (the budget was 50 pounds)  and we remembered the decimal point!

Scarlett: Myself and Alexandra  were learning about budgets and totals. We were purchasing clothes and making up outfits for a budget. We picked two outfits and when we added the totals up they came within our budget.

Abi and Sophie :  We were learning about totals and budgets, we also used taking away and adding to help people with  their  budgets.

Josh:  I was learning about budgets and I was also learning that the decimal point always falls down when adding and you only need the pound sign or the pence sign at the total of my sums.

This term the children will be focusing on decimals, fractions and percentages in their maths and have made a great start to the term with this.  This week the children have been sequencing and ordering decimals, adding and subtracting mentally and adding and subtracting with the standard written method using tenths and hundredths.  For their Japan topic the children have been set a research project and have been making Kimono bookmarks for themselves and for their P1 buddies.

The children enjoyed taking part in our Nursery Wellie walk even although it was a windy day. We walked round the school playground in our wellies. We would like to thank the chidren, parents and carers and appreciate their support helping us to raise money to improve the nursery garden.
