Some of P2 have been looking at how numbers are made up and writing sums to explain this. We are feeling very clever and are proud of our achievements.

We found that 36 is 10 + 10 + 10 + 6 or 30 + 6.

We discovered that 36 – 6 = 30 and some of us worked out that 36 -16 =20 and 36 -26 = 10.

Our class representatives have been telling us how they are going to be involved in keeping St. Ninian’s such a great school.

Sometimes we get our numbers the wrong way round. We have been practising super numeral formation.

Our bin loves to eat rubbish. We feed him to help keep the floor tidy.

We enjoyed sequencing the numbers on the 100 square and playing games suggested on the class blog, on the laptops.

We had great fun trying out the new toys!

We found that the sheep were just like giant teddy bears! They were fun to feed.

The chickens were fun to feed too.

We saw the fruit and vegetables Rosemary was selling.

We saw the milking machine and some of us felt it suck our fingers—it was very tickly!

The bucket of milk from this morning’s milking was very creamy- we saw spots of yellow cream on the top.

Back at school we thought about where the ingredients of our packed lunches came from.

We had a lovely morning at Dalmore Farm finding out more about where food comes from.

When we collected eggs we had to be very gentle. Some of the eggs were still warm!

What funny creatures chickens are! They enjoyed the corn we gave them and stole some of the milk intended for the pigs.

We saw fruit  ( apples, plums and blackberries) growing on the farm.

The pigs were very greedy. They drank the milk by the time we counted to 38!

We even learned more about bees and honey.

Where does honey  come from?

P.2 know…. and the honey bees have been out looking for nectar!

We used sticks to make number sentences for the teen numbers.
