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.
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.
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.
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.
One of our rotations in PE this week was a team building exercise. The children had to get every member of their group from one side of the hall to the other while only standing in the hola hoops. The children loved this and tried really hard to work well in their teams.
On Monday, Primary 2/3 were talking about things that make them feel happy and sad. The children worked in groups to discuss and write down times when they felt happy or sad. In their groups they then picked one of these situations and turned this into a sketch.
Fabulous acting P2/3!
Photo shows one of the groups acting out a family going on holiday on an aeroplane (something that makes them happy).
In Primary 2/3 this week we have been learning our phonemes and spelling words by practicing on a keyboard, writing our words in macaroni and playing BANG. The children especially love when it is their turn using the keyboards. During the lesson, the children were trying very hard to listen to instructions and follow their taskboard independently.
This week we were learning about some of the Articles in The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The children loved sharing things that they do to enjoy their rights and were then tasked with drawing this in a picture.
Recently in Primary 2/3 we have been learning about giving compliments. The children really enjoyed giving each other a compliment. We moved around the room to a different desk to leave a compliment for someone in the class.
Last week, in Primary 2/3 we were writing sentences to describe the Rainbow Fish. The children were challenged with using ‘wow’ words and openers in their sentences and loved writing on the tables! During the lesson, the pupils worked well in their groups and worked very hard to listen and follow instructions.
