It has been such a busy week in P3. We worked hard, we learned through play and we had lots of fun. These are some of the things we enjoyed learning about this week:

Mylie and Kenzi enjoyed learning about the properties of materials. This week we focused on hardness.

Harper, Liam and Euan really liked creating pictures of bats using chalk and cotton wool.

Archie’s favourite this week were the various Halloween activities which helped us develop some very useful skills such as measuring, cutting, and folding.

Eddie likes practising skip counting. He feels he is getting very good at skip counting by 3.

Ruaridh enjoyed creating a spooky comic strip. Everyone’s ideas and pictures were so impressive.

Mathew was excited to start his new Pupils Leadership Group. Ask us which Global Goal we are learning about.

Connor: I enjoyed when we logged on to Sumdog this week. I really enjoyed when we measured the circumference of the trees during outdoor learning with Ms Mendoza and Rob.

Sonny: I really enjoyed learning about area and perimeter. I also found it very beneficial to know how to work out the circumference of the trees in the playground to calculate their age.

Emma: I really enjoyed doing our Scratch graffiti names and photo editing on pixlr. The Halloween writing competition was also really fun and it was great to help out at parents night.

Ross N: I enjoyed our art work this week when we created a sketch of a skull. It looked really complicated but 10 minutes later we were done and really proud of the results.

Aiden: I loved doing the Halloween sketching especially the sketch of the skull.

Jemma: I did really well on my grid multiplication maths home learning this week and was pleased with how well I did.
