P3 Miss McGurk

Hello and welcome to Miss McGurk’s P3 class

This year we will be learning lots of fun and interesting things. Please check out our class page regularly to find out what we have been getting up to in P3.

 

Term 2a

For our World Around Us topic this term we will be focusing on ‘Birds, Bugs and Beasts’. 🐦🐛🐘

We will be looking at many different areas within this topic including:-

Literacy links

  • Putting animals in alphabetical order.
  • Finding animals in the dictionary.
  • Activities relating to The Owl Who was Afraid
  • Writing a fact file about birds of prey
  • Learning about the parts of bird, insects and animals – labelling.

Numeracy/ICT links

  • Symmetry of butterflies
  • Measuring lengths of minibeasts
  • Creating bar charts and interpreting information on Garden birds
  • Creating an iMovie on the Lifecycle of a Butterfly

 

Here are some activities you may like to try to do at home to support your child’s learning at school.

  • You can draw some animals using ‘how to draw’ on YouTube. Always get your parents permission.
  • Visit your local library or read non-fiction texts to find out some interesting facts to share with your class.
  • Create your own fact file about an animal of your choice.
  • Check out the RSPB website to identify birds. https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/a-z
  • Practice dictionary skills at home and alphabetical order.
  • Create a bar chart of your families favourite type of animal.
  • Make a tally or bar chart of any birds that you may see in your garden.
  • Have fun making a 3D model of a bird, bug or beast out of things you have at home.
  • Identify birdsong sounds in your garden.
  • Go on a mini-beast hunt in your garden.

 

Don’t forget to have lots of fun.
