Writing

The P3 class have been creating story maps on their class book 'The Owl who was afraid of the dark.' These story maps have really helped the children to produce lengthy writing pieces. Using the story maps allows their story to come alive and therefore help them express it through writing.

Tricky words

Today we created word pyramids to help with the spelling of our tricky words this week. The children tried this and then were tested on some of their tricky words to help prepare them for this weeks Friday Assessment.

Capital and Small letter focus

WALT: Match lowercase letters to capital letters.

Today in order to help the class fully cement all their capital letters they took part in an art based literacy lesson where they first of all had to cut out letters both small and capital and match them together. After this they got to decorate and colour as they wished. The children will continue to work on this throughout the course of the week.

Roald Dahl Day 2026

Today was Roald Dahl Day! For Roald Dahl Day the P3 class talked all things Roald Dahl from their favourite story to their favourite character. The story we focused on as a class was ‘The Enormous Crocodile.’ The children thought this story was very interesting and said they wouldn’t want to meet the enormous crocodile around lunch time. Everyone made their own crocodile to celebrate Roald Dahl Day. The children loved adding their own unique ideas and creativity to their crocodiles.

Here are some phonics/literacy activities in P3 since we have been back to school.
