P2/3 – HWB
HWB: PE
This term in PE we have been learning about athletics. Yesterday we were running and taking part in different relay races.
Remarkable Running P2/3!
P2/3 – Science
Science: Bubbles
If you have a bubble wand that is in the shape of a triangle or love heart will the bubble stay this shape?
This week the children had to predict whether they thought the bubbles would always be round or if they would stay the shape of the wand. P2/3 made their own bubble wands in any shape, from pipe cleaners, to test their theory.
We found that the bubbles were always round no matter the shape of the bubble wand. Ask the children why this is!
Brilliant bubbling P2/3!
P2/3 – Literacy
Literacy: Comprehension & Spelling
Yesterday in P2/3 the children were answering questions about a book they had been reading in class, focusing on using capital letters and full stops. They also took part in some active spelling activities. This week P2/3 have been trying their best to listen to instructions.
Brilliant work P2/3!
P2/3 – Literacy
Literacy
Each morning this week we have been working on using a ruler to draw a straight line. We have been practicing drawing a box, with a ruler, and writing our names inside the box.
Brilliant work P2/3!
P2/3 – HWB
HWB: Daily Mile
Today in Primary 2/3 we were talking about being active everyday and how this can help us to stay healthy and improve our focus in class. We then took part in the daily mile outside in the playground.
Wonderful walking P2/3!
P2/3 – Maths
Maths: Shape
Primary 2/3 are coming towards the end of their focus on learning about shape. They have a great knowledge of shape and have built confidence in naming and describing the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They have taken part in a wide range of active tasks as well as written tasks as part of their learning throughout this topic.
Recently, P2/3 took their learning outdoors, into the playground, to complete a shape hunt. They were to work in small groups to find shapes (2D or 3D) and take photos of them on the ipads. The class then returned inside to discuss what shapes were in their photos and their properties.
Pupils built 3D shape models then described what shapes and properties their model was made up of.
P2/3 – Science
Science: Materials
Last week, Primary 2/3 were learning about Non-Newtonian Fluids. We started by predicting whether or not we thought we would be able to walk on a swimming pool full of custard, what do you think? The children discussed the difference between solids and liquids and then loved getting messy when exploring the cornflour.
Marvellously Messy P2/3!
P2/3 – PC McIntyre Visit
Health and Wellbeing
World of work
As part of their Health and Wellbeing focus this term, Primary 2/3 are learning about the wider world of work. They identified a range of ‘jobs’ that they know about and then decided which ones they would like to learn more about. One of the jobs they wanted to learn more about was a police officer so we invited PC McIntyre, who is the campus cop at Loudoun Academy, to discuss his role as a police officer. He spoke to the children about crime prevention as well as considering reasons why people might commit crimes. The children also had the opportunity to see their finger prints. All children were very welcoming and excited when PC McIntyre attended, offering him a lovely welcome into Fenwick Primary School.
