P3 – Dunipace

P3 have the job of helping to organise the Infant Christmas Concert.  This year we decided to call our enterprise team ‘The Christmas Puddings’. We’ll be putting on a show called ‘The Christmas Recipe’ on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th December.  We have posters to make, costumes to design, raffles to organise and hopefully some money to count to donate to Strathcarron Hospice.

Our first task was to design a Christmas Pudding logo which will appear on our posters and tickets.  We then used two stars and a wish to evaluate how our logos looked and finally voted for our favourite.  We didn’t know who had designed each picture and Laura was very surprised to find her pudding had been voted to be our logo. Well done Laura!

P3 did their assembly today, we decided to tell the school about Bonfire Night. We’ve been working hard all week learning about Guy Fawkes, writing Firework poems and making up a bonfire song. Mrs C said we did so well that we could have a craft afternoon and make firework rockets! Well done P3!

Here is an acrostic poem we wrote as a class.

Fantastic fireworks whizzing in the sky
I heard a crackle, bang, fizz, pop and zoom
Rotating rockets leaving the ground
Everyone puts Guy Fawkes on the bonfire
Wow! Fireworks whizzle and woosh in the dark night
Oooh! Aaah! gasp the watching crowd
Racing rockets reach for the stars
Kaboom!
Silver sparkles dance in the sky

Mrs Barrett came to see us today. She told us more about how to reduce, reuse and recycle.
She showed us a picture of a landfill site which we thought looked very smelly and yucky. We were told about the gas pollution which can be found at landfill sites.
She had 3 bins – a blue, green and brown bin – and showed us what should go in each bin.
The class thought her visit was very interesting. Thank you.

As part of our topic, we’re learning about different ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. We designed and personalised bags to use instead of plastic bags. What do you think of our bags? Do you know any plastic bags facts?

As part of our project, we designed posters to encourage people not to drop litter. We invented a character to tell the message and used Word to put the message in a speech bubble. The posters are displayed around our school.

Today we made white thinking hats, this will help us to focus our thinking skills. White hats means we’re looking for facts. Leave a comment with 3 facts about yourself.

We had a visit from the Road Safety Officer called Mrs Smith. She told us how to stay safe when crossing the road and told us a poem about road safety.

We had to listen carefully to our instructions to sort the rubbish and collect glue, cellotape and scissors. The group decided what rubbish we needed to make our monster. Mrs C said the monsters had to be able to stand up by itself. It was really fun and our monsters look fantastic.

We started our new topic last week and it’s called ‘What a lot of rubbish!’ We’re going to learn how to reduce, re-use and recycle.

What do you do to recycle at home?
