This week we were sorting out sweets into a venn diagram.

You had to sort them into spotty and orange – if they were both they went in the middle – Mila

If they were not orange or spotty they went on the outside – Brooke

Happy Weekend! P3fw

We have been working very hard in all areas of the curriculum over the last couple of weeks. In numeracy we have been working on place value, in literacy we have been revising VCOP and how it can help to improve our writing. Here are some of our highlights:

“In French we have been learning some Harry Potter vocabulary. As part of the European Day of Languages we visited P3 and P4 to play a number game in French and we showed super leadership skills at this time,” Aaron.

“P6cs have enjoyed developing skills through Hockey in P.E,” Roslynn.

“We have been working hard on our show. We are managing to stick to our timings. It’s amazing,” Hannah.

“I can’t wait for the show. I hope everyone enjoys it when they come to see it. The songs are my favourite part,” Drew.

“I am so happy I got the part I was hoping for,” Parker.

Maths/Numeracy:

We have been doing percentages on a pie chart and using protractors. We have also been learning about different types of graphs such as line graphs, bar chart, pictograph and pie chart. At first we didn’t move our jotters and protractors effectively but after a while we were successful in using them effectively.

Writing:

We have been using persuassive language to write about key topics such as our Queen posters and world issues. We were also learning about dystopian writing and used adjectives to describe the setting. Dystopian writing is about a future where things do not go well for the human race. We analysed our class novel through this. We really enjoyed this type of writing and can’t wait to finish them!

Class novel:

Our class novel is The Hunger Games and Katniss is the main character (protagonist) and she lives in District 12. There is also a reaping which you have to go to between the ages of 12 and 18. We have been watching a clip and discussing the novel and did a literacy comprehension task on it. We also acted out a scene showing our visualisation skills.

Topic:

This week we have had a discussion based on a Newsround clip based on Brexit and democracy. We read news articles about current UK issues and were able to answer some of our questions we had about our topic that we created at the start of the term.

French:

This week we celebrated modern languages by teaching our buddies French words and phrases. We also created a board full of information and pictures all about Hungary, Nimi helped us lots!

Can’t wait for the next few weeks! 🙂
