Today the children started to make their lanterns for light up Fenwick. We had lots of fun apart from getting glue all over our hands!

For literacy the children played the game “Bang” to help learn their common words. Some of the children even tried to beat Miss Jackson.


A busy week!

P2 had a very busy week! P7 came into our class to host a quiz for the houses. The children worked together to identify the CVC words.
For bonfire night, the children painted fireworks. We used our skills of mixing colours to create our paintings.
For numeracy, the children have been looking at different ways to represent a number. We made number clouds to show all the ways we can make our number. We also started looking at addition.
It’s been lots of fun!

Wednesday

This morning the children were partitioning two and three digit numbers. The children used base ten resources to help them understand the value of the numbers.

For writing the children were describing the Big Bad Wolf. The children had  great describing words in their writing. The children also practiced spelling their common words.
They all worked super hard!

The boys made a great castle for the friendly dragon.

Friendly Dragon

 

This morning the Friendly Dragon visited our class asking us to help build his castle. The children used descriptive bubbles to help describe what his castle might look like. The children then wrote about the dragon living in his castle using their describing words.

In the afternoon the children read the story of the Gingerbread man. They were then challenged to make a bridge to help the Gingerbread man cross the river. The children worked together in teams and used their problem solving skills.
