Today in Numeracy we have been learning about the Story of 5. Primary 2 have been using cubes to set out the different calculations to show their number bonds to 5.
We have been working very hard today, Primary 2 should be very proud of themselves!
In Primary 2 we have been learning about dyslexia as it is Dyslexia Awareness Week. The children have been watching videos and looking at different examples of how others with dyslexia read, spell and write.
We took part in an activity to allow the children to understand what it is like to write and copy information. To do this we copied information from the board using non dominant hand.
The children found this tricky and noticed that it was very hard and wasn’t as neat as their other hand either. We will be continuing to learn about dyslexia throughout the week through different activities.
In Primary 2 this week we will be learning the sound ‘ea’
Our words this week are:

Marty visited p4 for the first time today. The children had fun using the iPads to give instructions to make Marty move in various ways.
To complete maths week the children turned the number seven into a dragon during our art lesson.
Primary 6 created cardioids this week. We created curved lines while only using a ruler!
During maths week Primary 2 have been learning about the number 5. In class we had a number hunt to see if we could find the number 5 in the classroom.
We then tried to make the number 5 using our bodies in groups.
Finally we used classroom resources to make the number 5.
We have had a lot of fun trying to make the number 5 in different ways. Well Done Primary 2!
