Week beginning 23/11/15

This week 3P's class blog is brought to you by Bethanie, Sam H and Miss Palmer.

Maths

What an exciting week in maths! We have been working in groups to solve problems, explain ideas, convince sceptics and develop our growth mindsets. This week was called inspirational maths week.
On day one we were working together in groups to see how many numbers we could make using the number 4. Then we looked at symbols that represent numbers and we also looked at Pascal's triangle and spotted lots of patterns . We liked doing this.





Next week will be moving on to our new topic of time and measure.

Literacy

In literacy we have been designing and planning our own version of the story Icky Doo Dah. We have been creating our own mischievous monsters. We have gathered all of our ideas, practised some skills and we are now all ready for our big write next week.
   
Music

In music we have been continuing to play the viola. But also this week we were very lucky to have Jeff Rich, an amazing drummer from States Quo, come to our school!
We learnt about the history of the drums and even had a quick jam session, playing percussion to his funky beats.



P.E

We had yet another special visitor came to our school. His name is Sean Rose an inspirational Paralympic medalist. We were amazed and inspired by his achievements and all that he has done before and after his accident.  

We enjoyed doing the activities even though we got a bit tired in the end!
 



We all came up with interesting questions to ask him and got the chance to see his medals.


In other news...
