Today we were learning about the problem solving strategy – Act out the situation. With a partner, we had to work out all the possible ways 4 people could sit in a limousine. We discovered lots of different possibilities.

P2/3 Fitness circuits
P2/3 were set the challenge to create a fitness circuit using all their learning from our fitness block in PE. They collaborated with others to design and test their fitness circuit. The class had fun trying out each other’s creations!

Today in PE, we started a new block of learning focusing on fitness. Today we worked on 2 aspects – agility and accuracy by completing a range of different activities.
P2/3 French Numbers
We have been revising numbers to 5 in French through variety of fun games. We played a beanbag toss game, matching game and action game.
P2/3 Measure: Capacity
In Numeracy today we have been exploring capacity.
Circles and Triangles were exploring using the words – full, empty, nearly full, 1/2 full, almost empty those a range of activities and estimating how many cups it would take to fill different containers.
Squares and Rectangles were focusing on filling containers to 1litre and 1/2 litre. They also worked out how many 1/2L it would take to make 1L.
P2/3 HOCKEY
P2/3 have been developing their skills in hockey with Mrs Sanderson. This week, we progressed from using a beanbag to a ball. Lots of concentration was needed!
P2/3 Measuring Classroom Objects
Yesterday in Numeracy and Maths with Mrs Conetta, the circles and triangles were choosing the most appropriate item to use to measure objects in the classroom. We used cubes, paper clips, counters, sticks and lollipop sticks.
The squares and triangles were asked to select different objects to measure. They had to estimate and then accurately measure the object to the nearest centimetre using a ruler.
P2/3 Measure: Length
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.
P2/3 Symmetrical Drawings
We linked our IDL and Numeracy and Maths today, when we were challenged to complete the symmetrical drawing of either the lighthouse or Mr Grinling’s picnic basket.
P2/3 Creative Dance
We used our topic, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch to inspire us to create dances today. We learnt to create different shapes using the lighthouse, the cottage, a shell and the waves.
