P2/3 School’s Out!

Primary 2/3 have been a wonderful class to teach this year and I have loved being their teacher. They have brought lots of smiles and laughter as well as blowing me away with their keenness to learn and get involved. I hope that everybody enjoys a well deserved Summer break with their families and look forward to seeing all the smiles again in August!
Lots of love, Miss Thomson x

P2/3 Achievements

Prize Giving

A huge well done to this young boy in P2 for achieving the Endeavour Award this year for all his hard work in school which he was presented with at last week’s prize giving. He really has tried his best with his learning as well as in the playground. Super effort!

P2/3 Numeracy

Data Handling

Primary 2/3 have been busy bees in numeracy. They have been learning about data handling in class. They can use tally marks accurately and use their knowledge of counting in fives and counting on from a number to quickly count the total amount of tally marks.

They have now started learning about bar charts and pictograms. Yesterday, the pupils completed a variety of activities involving written work, technology and practical tasks. When completing their written task, they had to complete a bar chart to show the amount of sea creatures on their page. Using iPads, pupils played a game where they had to read information from  a pictogram to answer questions. When completing a practical task, pupils were given a large selection of toy food. They had to discuss and agree as a group how they would sort out the food items. Some groups chose to sort them by colour and some sorted them by food group. 

We also had a revision station, where pupils were encouraged to create and complete vertical addition calculations.
