Hello P3M learners and parents,
I hope you have a great week; we have had a fun week in P3M.
I can’t believe we have arrived at the October holiday! Thanks to you all for your support this term. It has been greatly appreciated.
We have been continuing with addition, learning about number bonds to 30, 100 and 1000
We used our addition skills to solve a code, this revealed a mystery message
We learned about right angles and created shapes with right angles during outdoor learning
The children all gave wonderful Book Talks, their preparation and effort was evident and they enjoyed listening to each other’s presentations
We have been continuing to use wrap around spelling programme to learn soft /a/ words this week
Reading groups continued as normal this week
For writing we worked on summarising learning from our science lesson
We were learning about mindfulness. We practiced this throughout the week by doing colouring, breathing exercises and yoga
Science: the children have been requesting to learn about volcanoes and lava. This was a highlight of the week and linked to our writing lesson
Art: we created autumn wreaths using leaves the children collected from the playground, we also designed our class Christmas card
PE: we continued to work on fitness and outdoor games
I am so proud of all of the learners in P3M. They have been amazing so far this term, have learned lots and definitely deserve a break. I have loved getting to know each of them, what a wonderful bunch! I hope you all have a restful, fun and memorable holiday. All of your plans sound fabulous. I cannot wait to hear all about them when we are back at school.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any stage with any queries. Mrs McSporran 🙂
We have had another great week in P3M with lots of fun and learning.
Here is some of what we have been up to:
– Friday 15th October: information about give racism the red card in Homelink
– Next week we have our book talks. Each child will be encouraged to present to the class, posters can be made if they would find this helpful. I know some children have already started these! There is no expectation that the presentations are a certain length. We have discussed this in school, but children could start by considering;
– What is your favourite book?
– Why do you like it?
– Do you have a favourite part or character from the book?
Next week spelling: We will be learning about short /a/ words.
Our Words: act, pat, happy, snap, star
Tricky Words: said, there
Hope you all have a brilliant weekend.
Mrs McSporran 🙂

I hope you all have a fun filled weekend.
