Just a Drop

Finn's Mum Caroline came into P3B to share her experience of recent visit to a Just a Drop safe water project in Uganda. The Just a Drop charity aims to provide local, clean water supplies and sanitation to communities all over the world. Finn was an excellent assistant and helped his mum to deliver her presentation. We hope you enjoy looking at the photos. 

Musical Maths in p3c

In p3c we like to learn in different ways and are always trying out new games and activities to help us learn. Today we played musical maths. Everyone was asked to write a number, dance around to music (our current favourite, Uptown Funk) then when the music stopped find a parter. We had to work together to make a subtraction sum using these numbers. 

World Book Day

Thursday is World Book Day so remember to come to school dressed as a book character and also to bring in your favourite book. We will be doing lots of fun activities and sharing our favourite books with our friends. 

Exploring Moving Toys

In p3c most of us learn best through doing. Being hands on and active helps us to explore and understand. On Thursday we brought in toys with moving parts. 

First we played with our toys. 

Then we shared them with our friends. We discussed which parts move and how. 

Then we worked as a team to sort the toys into categories. 

Wind up toys.

Spring toys.

Battery and remote control toys.

Push and pul toys.

We all achieved our learning intention and learned lots about how toys move.

Peer assessment in p3c

We are getting rather good at peer assessment. We have been writing targets for our elbow partner so they know what to work on. We have also started using coloured dots to show which of the 4 capacities the activity is helping us develop.

Chinese New Year

P3A celebrate Chinese New Year with the help of Manow and his mum and dad. They had their traditional Korean costumes on! We heard a traditional Korean story about where the sun and the moon came from, we learnt how to say Happy New Year, bow and we were given a treat! What a lovely thing for P3A! Thank you to Manow and family!

Golden, Golden Time

Golden time was great fun this morning in P3A. Many had brought in 'board games' and card games and played happily with their friends. Twister, chess, uno and yatzy were all popular! Miss P, enjoyed her beginners luck!! What a lovely way to finish just before the holidays! 

Grateful & Happy P3A

We have been talking a lot about what we are grateful for and happy about in P3A.  There are some great reasons and we all captured this in our reflection diary. Here are just some of the examples.

And on that note happy holidays to everyone!
