Numeracy
Money

Over the past fortnight Primary 2/3 have been learning about money during their numeracy lessons.
They have learned through a range of experiences including independent and collaborative tasks, role play in our Fenwick Cafe (using the menus they created during last week’s writing lesson) and using technology. All pupils have developed lots of useful skills such as;

Identifying values of different coins
Correct notation including the ‘£’ and ‘p’
Paying for items using a range of coins
Equivalent amounts
Adding up total amounts

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!

P2/3 Directions

The Circles and Triangles have been programming the beebots to travel about their grid to find treasure.

The Rectangles and Squares have been looking at developing their directions by using the terms clockwise, anti-clockwise, 1/2 and 1/4 turns. They created their own Lego town and then wrote directions to direct each other to different locations.

We applied our knowledge and skills in Numeracy outdoors today. We gathered outdoor materials, create a grid reference map and added materials we found for our peers to locate using grid references.

P2/3 Grid References

For our Numeracy and Maths warm-up today, we revised positional language using the song, Cha Cha Slide!

We learnt about grid references and created our own grid reference map. We then swapped with a partner who had find the grid reference locations of the objects drawn.

P2/3 – Positional Language

November 3, 2021 User deactivated Leave a comment

Last week we began to learn about positional language and how important knowing these words were. We came up with a list of important words. Here are some we thought of: left, right, forward, backwards, beside, under, on.

Today, P2/3 came up with long list of jobs in which people need to use positional language. Here are a few examples, police officers, ambulance drivers, nurses, doctors, pilots, taxi and bus drivers.

We have been using positional language to direct each other in the playground to different coloured markers, to find objects on a treasure map with the help of Lego figures to help with left and right and becoming familiar with using the Beebots.

Unfortunately I had a few issues when trying to upload photos last week so please have a look below at what we got up to in class

Primary 2/3 went on a pattern hunt around the school then created their own patterns in the garden.
The children noticed lots of patterns such as the squares in the windows, the bricks on the wall, the metal railings outside.

We explored the playground for different 3D shapes and discussed their properties including how many faces, edges and vertices they have. P2/3 then continued their learning in class further.
