Good morning all,

Please find attached a copy of the latest Home Learning words.  The children were also given a selection of spelling activities that you can try at home to help the children with their words.

The children were also given a numeracy worksheet that should be returned to school on Wednesday 30th January.  They are working on their multiplication facts so their task is to practise these at home.  I suggested they could rainbow write their times tables on the back to show they have been practising.

Thanks

Miss MacKenzie and the P3 Team

Happy New Year everyone.  P3M would like to update you with our learning since we returned from the holidays.

Maxim has enjoyed playing the game, Around the World, to help us with remembering our times tables facts.  Baili has enjoyed working on his times tables and division and he doesn’t think they are scary anymore.  Ana knows that you can work out division facts if you know your times tables by switching it round.  Here is an example…2×6=12 so 12/2=6 (we don’t have a division sign on the laptop!)

Eden was building electric circuits and we have been exploring how energy is produced in wind turbines.  Ethan enjoyed making our own wind turbines out of paper and straw.  Jake enjoyed taking these outside so we could test which way the wind was blowing to make our turbines spin.

Lauren has been learning how to say our favourite colours in French and colours which we dislike.

Carmen has been enjoying Jigsaw time and working on her dreams and goals.  We had a warm up game which involved passing the keys round.  Our goal was to get them round our circle without making a sound.  Then our goal was made harder when we had to do the same thing in less than a minute.  We know that reaching our goals may be hard but we have to persevere.

In PE, we have started a gymnastic block and we have put ourselves into teams.  William knows we are working together to win points and we will be making a group gymnastic routine.

Jaksen has been enjoying working on his handwriting and thinks he is getting better.

Aiden has enjoyed maths where we have been looking at 3D shapes.  Ana knows that a 3D shape has length, breadth and height.  Gracie knows that 3D shapes have faces, Maxim knows that some shapes have vertices and Erika knows that they have edges.

Thank you,

P3

Good afternoon everyone,

P3M wanted to give you a quick update about our learning over the past few weeks.

Jaksen was making friendship tokens through our health and wellbeing Jigsaw lessons.  We give them to people who might be lonely.

Maxim has enjoyed doing some reading comprehension based on a Christmas text.

Erika enjoyed making Christmas wrapping paper where we were using pattern and symmetry.

Jak has enjoyed making up his own snakes and ladder board game.

Jessica D had a fab time at the Christmas party yesterday and she enjoyed making some party place mats.

Lucy worked as part of a team to create a fact sheet about Scotland.  She learned some facts such as the largest city in Scotland is Glasgow.  Lauren enjoyed this too and her favourite fact was that Ben Nevis is the biggest mountain in Scotland.

Jake enjoyed making Grinch cards using oil pastels as part of our vertical learning day.  Evan enjoyed this too!

Sophie has been doing music with Mr Paul and has learned some Christmas music and Christmas songs.

This term, Gracie enjoyed all the learning that we did about bonfire night.  It seems so long ago now!

Today in writing, Allegra enjoyed creating a character study based around the characters from our class novel, the Christmasaurus.

Ruaridh has enjoyed reading the Christmasaurus.

Ana enjoyed being a miner when we experienced what it would be like working in a mine and she had to mine chocolate chips out of chocolate chip cookies.

Baili, in numeracy, has been learning to segment numbers into place value to help him with addition and subtraction mentally.

Jessica M enjoyed made some Christmas cards using French vocabulary.  Callum R enjoyed this too!

Carmen made some paper chains which had her spelling words and common words on them.  Oakley thought this was a fun way to work on his spelling words.  Cara thought it was nice and Christmassy.

Ethan has enjoyed number of the week and has lots of ways he can practise his numbers.

Lewis would like to tell you about our elf Holly who has joined out class.  She even turned up in a disco ball suit so she could come to our Christmas Party!

William had fun working with a partner on Christmas Numeracy and Maths puzzle.

Alana has enjoyed learning French with our specialist, Messieur Perrard.

Aiden likes playing loop cards to help him with his understanding of place value.

Eden has been enjoying her handwriting this term and enjoyed the fine motor skills practise the class did when writing, Away in a Manger.

Thank you for your continued support.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes.
