P2/3 – Space

Space: Mini Fruit Solar System

Today, P2/3 made a solar system out of fruit. They used a raisin (Mercury), a blueberry (Venus), a grape (Earth), a raspberry (Mars), grapefruit (Jupiter), an orange (Saturn), a tangerine (Uranus) and a plum (Neptune).

The children worked in their groups to figure out the order of the fruits comparing them in size to the planets.

After that, we added the fruit to a skewer to make our very own mini fruit solar system. The children loved trying the fruits as we were making our solar systems, the oranges seemed to be the favourite!

Amazing work P2/3!

 

 

P2/3 – Numeracy

Numeracy: Fractions

Yesterday, the P4s joined us to help with our numeracy rotations. We were learning to match a fraction of a shape to the correct fraction and find 1/2 and 1/4 of a number. As a challenge, some of us were finding 1/5s and 1/10s of a number.

At the end of the lesson, P2/3 showed P4 some of the body percussion we had been learning to the song ‘Happy’! The children loved this!

Fab work P2/3 and thank you to P4 for helping us!
