Welcome to P3

Mr Melville and his Superstars

Our first topic this year is Houses and Homes. Have a look at our shape houses inspired by the artist Paul Klee.

In maths we collected data about the type of homes we live in then recorded our results as tally charts and block graphs. We also came up with our own criteria to sort houses using Venn diagrams.

As part of our Houses and Homes topics we became estate agents and wrote advertisements for our own homes.

We have been having lots of fun this week for maths week. We have taken our learning outdoors, made symmetrical pictures and thought of our own criteria for Carroll diagrams.

We have loved making our own homes using junk materials. Everyone is unique.

It was such fun to get to explore our Houses and Homes topic outside when we got to go big!

Our new topic is Pirates. We can’t wait to find out all about them.
“Ahar me hearties”

P3 researched facts about pirates and then typed them up in ICT. Which one is your favourite?

We have loved learning about pirate ships. So we followed instructions to draw our own ships both on paper and on iPads.

 This term’s topic is weather.
We have been finding out about different types of weather and trying to find out answers to the questions we asked Mr Melville.

In World Around Us we carried out a science experiment to demonstrate how clouds are formed. We used shaving foam to be the cloud, water to act as the air and blue food colouring to show how it rains.

In maths we carried out a survey of our class’s favourite weather then created a pictogram and drew our own block graphs.

We love our winter trees,we created them using tape for the trees then painting over the top and finally removing the tape.

In maths we have been doing lots of measuring using different materials to measure length. We used cotton wool, lolly sticks, paper clips and cubes. We decided cubes were best as they were a good size and all the same shape.

As we have been learning about the seasons, months of the year and days of the week we decided to make some clouds and suns to help us remember.
