World Book Day in P3R ⭐️ we had great fun reading with P6C!
Epic reading in P3R and some amazing costumes too ⭐️👸🏼🤴🏻🐛🦄🦋
P3R are embracing the challenge of Stage 5 Linguistic Phonics. We are beginning to understand that sounds can have different spelling patterns. We complete a word sort each week to help consolidate our learning. Keep up the hard work P3!
Mr McLean is the new teacher on the block
Awesome Assembly to mark the end of World Book Week 🥳
Reading, craft and fun on World Book Day!
Welcome to P3R
There are 23 superstars in our class ⭐️
P3 have been using Dienes to help us understand place value. Place value is the value of each number in a 2 Digit number. For example, 23 is equal to 2 tens and 3 units. We had lots of fun playing a group quiz and attempting to beat the clock!
Famous people in History! P3 have loved learning about Queen Elizabeth 1, The Great Fire of London, Louis Braille and Florence Nightingale. Ask us some facts.
A taste of Antarctica ⛄️
P3 were the first ever token winners! They have demonstrated amazing manners, fabulous behaviour, great listening and wonderful respect for both themselves and others in school. In the words of Mr Ethan McGilton ‘today was the best day ever.’ Indeed, today was an amazing celebration of all our hard work and was such an exciting, fun-filled extravaganza. We started off with chocolate during the class register (yes really) then craft and ICT. We then had a surprise visit from the ice-cream van and enjoyed delicious ice-creams and multicoloured slushies. Next we had an extra outdoor play and then a brilliant afternoon of bouncing, bouncing and more bouncing. Well done P3 for working so hard and achieving an amazing day filled with fun and treats. Keep up the great work, keep working hard, displaying those fab manners and behaving impeccably. Just imagine if we won again 😍
Reading and telling the time on the analogue and digital clocks.
Autumn Addition! We used our adding skills (counting on strategy) to calculate the addition sums and create a mystery autumn picture. We worked together with our thinking partners. Team work makes the dream work!
Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!
A or an? P3 R have been learning the 5 vowels and this week we learnt that we use a ‘an’ before a word beginning with a vowel. For example, an apple, an elephant, an igloo, an umbrella and an octopus. However, when a word doesn’t begin with a vowel, but a consonant we use ‘a’. For example, a banana, a cat, a dog etc. We read sentences and used our knowledge to work out whether we needed to put in the word a or an. We were amazing!,,,
P3R had lots of fun on their Autumn walk today! Thankfully the rain stayed off and we completed many laps of the school grounds. Thank you very much for the generous sponsorship money raised by all families. It was much appreciated and will go towards vital resources for our children in their classrooms 😍🎃🥳⭐️.

Subtraction Bat Challenge. P3 R have been working on their subtraction skills. We know that counting back is an effective strategy when we take away. We worked with our Thinking Partners to complete the subtraction sums and find the correct answer card!
P3R have made a great start on their ICT journey at Brooklands! We are learning to log on using our usernames and passwords. We have been exploring Junior Newsdesk and Topmarks educational games. Today we used an App called Justeasy to type. First we tried typing our names. Then we picked a background of our choice and attempted to type an independent sentence. It’s challenging looking for the keys on a keyboard, learning to use the caps lock and also the space bar. Miss Reid thinks we did an amazing job 😍.
Yellow Mellow Extravaganza in Brooklands! We had a great day of fun, laughter and birthday celebrations. Don’t tell anybody but Mr Armstrong is going to be 60 on Saturday🥳. We had a fabulous assembly and welcomed some amazing visitors to join in the celebrations. In our classroom we got busy creating pumpkins for the pumpkin patch outside our room. We can’t wait to put them up for everyone to see 🎃.
The Singing Mermaid was one of our favourite Julia Donaldson stories. The mermaid was captured by Sam Sly and kept in a tank inside his caravan. Sam Sly made the mermaid sing to the crowds every night. She was very unhappy. The mermaid wrote a letter to P3R and asked for their help to set her free. We used our imaginations to think of different ways the mermaid could escape and get back to her friends at Silversands Bay. Our letters were brilliant and Miss Reid was really impressed by our super spelling, punctuation and creativity. We put the letters on the wall outside our classroom for everybody to see.
We have been developing our creative and imaginative writing skills. We wrote character descriptions for our favourite character in Tiddler. We are learning to record our own ideas and give reasons for our choices. We are using our knowledge and understanding of the story to help us to describe our favourite character. Some of us liked Tiddler best. Others liked Miss Skate best of all. Some of us really liked Granny Dory. It’s great to make choices and develop our independent thinking skills ☺️.
Opposites! P3R have been busy learning about opposites. We know that opposites are pairs of words that have opposite meanings. To help us get ready for learning and to warm up our brains, we played ‘OPPOSITE SNAP ATTACK.’ We were each given a card and had to find our matching opposite partner. This really helped to develop our understanding and was a great warm up game. Who is ready for synonyms next.????.🤪
Money Mania in P3R. We used real coins to find different ways to make 10p and 20p. P3 are learning to use the biggest possible coins first. For example, 20p can be made using a 20p, two 10ps, one 10p and two 5ps, four 5ps etc. This helps us to develop our logic and reasoning skills too.
P3R have been developing their understanding of the position of numbers and number patterns on the 30 array. We used blank arrays and counters to identify where numbers are positioned. We discussed number patterns and the relationships between numbers on the array. For example, we looked at the number 5. We know all numbers in the 5 column have a 5. We discussed how numbers increase by 10 each time we jumped down from 5, to 15 and then to 25. We placed our counters on the number 2 and counted in 2’s. We discussed how each number we landed on was an even number. This helped to develop our knowledge of even numbers above 10. We did this for odd numbers too. We counted in 5’s and 10’s too! We are number ninjas in P3R ⭐️
