We had heard about the fun P1 had making numbers with Kapla, so we decided to join in the fun. It was a challenge to make numerals with curved lines , using the straight edges of Kapla, but we had good fun trying.😀
Primary 2 – Kapla fun
We had great fun playing with the Kapla. We made pictures with Miss Douglas, by following the printed plans.
Primary 2 – Literacy games
Today we practised our reading and writing with some fun games.
There are so many ways to practise our skills.
Primary 2 – A very strange plant
In today’s Literacy lesson we invented a new vegetable, made a picture of it and wrote a little about it. What interesting vegetables were created!
I wonder what they would taste like?
Primary 2-Green vegetable soup
Today we learned how eating green vegetables gives us vitamins which keep our bodies moving, help us see and help heal cuts.
We enjoyed preparing the vegetables , then went to play whilst it cooked.
It was delicious! Someone was heard saying that their knee was getting better already.
If you would like to make it at home, take a selection of green vegetables. (We used celery, cabbage, peas, bean sprouts and courgettes.) Add a vegetable stock cube and water and simmer for 15minutes. Serve with a sprinkling of cheese.
Thank you Mrs Jones for all your help!
Primary 2 – Using rods
The squares group have been using rods to solve numeracy problems. Today the triangles group made patterns with these rods. As we played we realised that each rod has a numerical value. We are very excited about learning to use rods to solve problems in our numeracy lessons later this week.
Can you work out the value of each rod?
Primary 2 – Green vegetables
Today we learned the names of 4 green vegetables. We learned that all green vegetables grow on plants and grow above the ground.
We played a matching game outside and played bingo and pairs indoors to learn the names: courgettes, peas, cabbage and celery.
We enjoyed popping the pea pods and tasting the peas.
We watched 2 short dvds telling us about their journey from farm to our homes.
We are hoping to cook something tasty with green vegetables on Thursday.
Primary 2 – Making our class a happy place to learn
We discussed what would make our class a good place to be and a happy place to learn.
We took pictures which we displayed on our classroom wall to remind ourselves of these responsibilities.
Amongst other things we need to be tidy, share and probably most importantly…..smile!
Primary 2 – Enjoying books during class literacy time
Every Monday we choose a book from our literacy corner and enjoy it in a number of ways. Some children try to read the book to themselves, others find words or phrases they know whilst others try to tell the story through the pictures. Today Luke thoroughly enjoyed finding the hidden duck in every picture. Well done Luke – great observation skills!
Last week we looked at the books we had chosen from Menzieshill library and 2 children enjoyed reading parts of their book aloud to us, whilst another “Fredded” out some words she knew. Well done p2!
Primary 2 – Learning through play
We had great fun on Friday playing with our friends and experimenting by ourself with play materials.
