We began to explore length today in Numeracy and Maths. We use counters, cubes and paper clips to measure the length of objects in the classroom after estimating their length. Some learners used a metre stick to find classroom objects that are shorter than, longer than or about the same as a metre.
Over the last few weeks, we have been learning about creative dance. We have been learning about the 4 main dance shapes – pin, wall, twist and ball and how these can be danced at different heights.
Using the story, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch, we created our own dances using key features of the story – the cottage, the boat, the waves, the seaweed and seagulls to inspire us.
Wow, Mrs Conetta was blown away today with the creativity of P2/3. They were set the challenge of creating a symmetrical snowflake using cotton buds. Everybody created their own unique snowflake. Well done!

This week primary 2/3 have been learning about fractions. They have completed several tasks focusing on halves and quarters. The pupils started off by demonstrating their knowledge of halves throughout some Scottish themed activities. They also loved using Hit the Button to calculate halves of numbers. This would be a useful task if any pupils want some extra practise at home. This can be access by clicking here.
