P3 Adventures: Settled In, Van Gogh's Sunflowers, and More!

29th Sep 2023
The start of term has been filled with learning, fun, and exploration. Let's dive right into all the wonderful things we've been up to:

Our P3 students have done a fantastic job settling into their new routine. They've been getting to know their classmates again and building a warm and welcoming classroom environment.

In art class, we've embarked on a creative journey through the world of Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers." Our young artists have not only admired these beautiful masterpieces but have also tried their hands at creating their own sunflower-themed artworks. The results have been truly stunning, and we couldn't be prouder of their artistic talents!

Our maths lessons have been a blast as we dived into the world of numbers and counting. P3 students have been honing their skills by adding and subtracting within 100, and they've shown great enthusiasm for tackling mathematical challenges.

In literacy lessons, we've been focusing on improving our writing skills, with a particular emphasis on time connectives and we're excited to see their writing continue to flourish!

Our topic, "Never Eat Shredded Wheat," has taken us on a geographical adventure. We've been learning essential map skills, exploring different places on the map, and understanding how to read and interpret maps. It's been a fascinating journey through the world of geography!

PE is an integral and exciting part of our curriculum, and our P3 students have been enjoying their PE lessons. We've been working on various physical activities and exercises to keep our bodies healthy and active.

Other highlights have been our Forest School adventures! Our students have a fantastic time exploring nature, learning about the environment, and bonding with their peers amidst the beauty of the great outdoors.

Our P3 class continues to grow, explore, and have fun. We're looking forward to the coming months, where we'll continue to nurture their curiosity, creativity, and love for learning.

We're excited to continue this journey together and see all the amazing things our P3 class will achieve in the future. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to share your child's experiences with us. Here's to a fantastic school year ahead! 🌻📚🌳🎨🏃‍♂️🏫
