P3/2 have had another busy week. We have been learning more about Fairtrade and celebrating Fairtrade fortnight by writing our own poems and taking part in a big Fairtrade breakfast. We enjoyed taking part in the Fairtrade quiz- Do you know how many bananas are eaten in the UK each year?

.

We have also been learning about measuring the area of shapes and objects and have used counters and squares to calculate, investigate and draw areas.

We worked with a partner to measure the area of our hands and feet and sorted them from greatest to smallest.

On Thursday, we were set a challenge from a special fairy visitor to our classroom. We measured the correct area to create a fairy and elf picnic, including a picnic blanket, cup, plate, apple, cake and sandwich. The faries loved our work and left us a special thank you beside our fairy door! How exciting!

We are looking forward to sharing our i journals and showing our new classroom to our parents next week! We are sure that you will love looking at all of our hard work.
