Week 4!  A quick update

This week we have started our ‘Super Savers’ topic. We have been challenged to create a superhero to help save Cults Primary School and the world.

This term, our topic in Primary Two is all about ‘Our Caring World’.  The children will be learning about ways to care for the environment, the conservation of materials and how our needs and wants can affect the environment in which we live.

 

On Monday during assembly Miss Mackay explained that a special delivery had arrived in the school office and it was addressed to Primary Two!  The box contained an envelope for each class.  Inside the envelope we found our first mission!  The children are going to be taking on the role of ‘Super Savers’ who will help to make Cults Primary School a more caring place.   So far this week, we have received three missions.  It has been a very busy week in Primary Two!

Dear Primary 2s,

We have a mission for you, if you wish to accept it.

Can you help us to make Cults Primary School a more caring place?

We need some superheroes to save energy and encourage people to stop wasting materials.

Your first mission:

Transform yourself into a superhero and think about how you could help Cults Primary.

Your superhero should have:

  • A mask
  • A cape
  • A superhero suit
  • A name

Mission two will arrive tomorrow, be prepared to get messy. If you have any superhero masks or capes, please bring them in.

Dear Primary 2s,

Now that you are becoming a superhero, your next mission is to look around your house and bring in 3-5 items which can be recycled on Monday 17th September.

For example: You could bring a newspaper, a milk carton and a cardboard box.

Writing

This week in writing we learned about describing words. We brain stormed lots of describing words then had to describe where Elmer lived and what he looked like. Some of us managed to include lots of WOW words.

 

Maths

Some of us have been learning how to order numbers to 30. We have been learning about the words; before, after, smaller, larger and in between. Help us practise these at home using our 100 square.

Others have been learning how to partition numbers using tens and units cubes.

For example 53 = 50 + 3

49 = 40 + 9

137 = 100 + 30 +7

Phonics

We made some cool glasses to help us remember the oo sound.
