Patterns all around

We have been very busy looking at patterns this week and have had great fun copying patterns and making up ones of our own.  We love making patterns with the beads and giving our teachers pattern necklaces to wear.

   

This week we have been in the ICT Suite and have been using Textease Paint to create pictures of the thorny hedge that grew up around the castle whilst Sleeping Beauty slept for 100 years.

  

In Mrs Munro’s Learning Zone we have been looking for lots of phonics fairies, when we find them we have to write their sounds on a sheet.  We feel very important walking round with our clipboards.

We had a visitor this week to tell us all about how to look after our teeth.  We had two boxes and had to sort food that is good for our teeth and food that is bad for our teeth.  We had a go at brushing the big teeth on the  model of a mouth and a very funny dog! Next week we are going to start brushing our teeth in school.

  1. Hi, I’m a teacher of Year 2 (6-7 yo) at Glenview School in Hamilton, New Zealand. What an interesting blog you have. We can see that you are doing lots of learning in many interesting ways. Our class is looking to run a blog also so parents and global visitors can join our children in their learning. It is spring in New Zealand so we are busy planting in our school garden. 🙂
