Good morning,
Primary 2 have had a very busy week and performed lots of problem solving activities. Across the curriculum we have used the context of the story ‘Goldlilocks and the 3 bears. This has provided us with lots of opportunities for learning this week and will continue next week too. We explored the story and the characters and then wrote about it. We complied group accounts of the story too. Alongside this we have used the story as an opportunity to do volume by filling bowls with rice, peas and pasta to compare how many cups of each item it took to fill bowls. We varied the cup size to see the effect upon the number of cups required to fill the bowls. The children also had to use construction to make beds for the characters which involved large brick construction and Lego small brick construction.
In language our phoneme this week is xX and we examined the 2 sounds that it can make as its name in x-ray and at the end of words like box making sound ks. Again we used boxes to problem solve and reinforce this sound.
In maths we have been counting on and back and looking at concrete materials to assist with subtraction calculations. As well as more complex addition of adding 3 numbers.
We are looking forward to our Red Nose Day obstacle course.
I hope you enjoy our sway below and have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Carey
