Good morning P3!

As it is a short week there are some changes with home learning this week.          Everyone is going to be working on the the same theme – Water.  That is very lucky for P3’s because we are learning about water experiments this term!  I wonder which activities you will choose from the grid?

If you are looking for some other things to do then why not try some of these:

1. Drop a single drop of food colouring into a glass of water. Don’t stir or shake. Just watch what happens. (It’s called diffusion.)
2. Use a medicine/eye dropper to drop water onto a coin, one drop at a time. How many drops will the penny hold before the water spills? (The answer may surprise you!)
3. Try the same water experiments as No 2 with water that has a little detergent in it.  Did you notice anything different?
4. Try the same thing again comparing the heads and tails sides of the coin.  What happened?
5. A lump of clay. Can you change its shape to make it float?

There will be no new spelling words this week but I have still posted the “Guess my ingredients” challenge so I hope lots of you will have a go at that.

Good morning P3!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the “ guess my ingredients” challenge this week. The 8 ingredients in my savoury muffins were flour, baking powder, butter, milk, bacon, egg, parsley and cheese. Lots of you managed to correctly guess some of the ingredients and it was great to see/ hear that some of you had been making something similar at home! If you would like to see my recipe you find it under a separate post on P3 page.

If you are looking for something to do today then why not try some handwriting.        Last week I used an Ipad to do the handwriting but it didn’t work very well so this week I am trying a whiteboard. ( you see, teachers are learning lots during lock down too!) Even though the whiteboard is not in very good condition, I think the writing looks better and is hopefully easier for you to see but let me know what you think.

Have a great weekend,

Miss Fraser 🙂

Good morning P3!

It was great to see so many of you trying out the Maths activity yesterday. I have  received some lovely emails this week from some P3’s and their families. It was fantastic to hear all the things you have been doing at home……den building, camping, baking, drawing, writing and lots more! 

If you are looking for something to do today they why not have a look at your HL grid and try the activity  “Something extra”? It might be hard to see the photo on the grid so I have posted it here. Can you think of any everyday things (like feeding the ducks) that could be adapted to a funny lockdown version? I’d love to see your ideas.

And if you are wanting to hear the next 2 chapters of the 52 Storey Treehouse I will be emailing it this afternoon.

Have a good day!
