What a fantastic first (full) week we have had in P3!

The week began with some journaling about the summer holidays and numeracy games to help everybody feel settled and comfortable in their new classroom. We then ended with a great trip to the beach to reward the week’s work!

In our Literacy lessons we have been reading I’ll Take You to Mrs Cole by Michael Foreman. The students read the story with suspense and enjoyed how the story would evolve; they were all so eager to continue reading the story and, next week, we will complete our first book review! We will continue to focus on this story in the upcoming weeks, exploring different written techniques and grammar within the book and comparisons with other Michael Foreman books.

Place value has been the main focus in Numeracy this week. The students have been reviewing their understanding of hundreds, tens and ones by placing 3-digit numbers on number lines and comparing different amounts.

We introduced our first Science topic of Keeping Healthy, in which we started looking at how to categorise food into different food groups. Next week we will continue with how to eat a balanced diet.

Looking forward to another exciting week in P3! Well done to all so far for your hard work and effort!
