Literacy

The children were learning to write descriptive sentences using the book “Zog”. The children worked together to come up with describing words before writing their sentences.

Numeracy 

The children were learning how to partition two or three digit  numbers. They used base ten materials to help them partition each number.

 

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.



Maths week

As it’s maths week the children have been doing different maths activities.
The children made tiling patterns with shapes and then went out on a shape hunt outside and inside the school.
The children were challenged to build the tallest tower only using 10 pieces of paper. The children worked together in groups and use their problem solving skills. They had lots of fun!

Phonics

This morning the children were learning their new sounds. They used magnetic letters to help make their words. The children also used some books from the library to see if they could find any words with the same sounds.

 

Numeracy

Today P2 were looking at rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and practising their number formation.  The children used objects to group and then round to the nearest 10.

 

Art

Last week our class was visited by the Friendly Dragon asking us to help save Fairyland. Today the children created pictures of what they think the Friendly Dragon looks like.
