In Primary 2 this week we have been learning…

 

Mrs Robertson’s maths side have been learning how to measure in centimetres. They learned by listening to the teacher and trying it out themselves. – Calum

 

In ICT we were learning how to research on the internet. We had to research about one of the types of energy we had been learning about in science. We learned that anyone can add information to Wikipedia so if we used information from there we had to check it was correct. – Jessica, Ava, Lucy G and Calum

 

In science we learned about energy. We learned that the two main types of energy are potential and kinetic and we sorted the types of energy we know under these headings. – Aiden, Emily C and Cameron

 

We made the most of the good weather and went outside for gym. Mrs Grubb taught us how to play rounders. We all worked very well as a team. – Alex and Lily

 

In maths we continued with our problem solving. We had to make a graph today to help us work out which month was the most popular for birthdays. We used our ‘making an organised list or table’ strategy. – Naomi

 

In maths the Sapphires were continuing to practise carrying tens. – Alexander

 

In health we continued our healthy eating topic by making coleslaw. We learned how to cut, peel and grated. Mrs Grubb was very scared we would cut ourselves!! – Cameron, Corinne, Lucy G

 

In art we were continuing to use our drawing skills. We were drawing still life. We had a plant that we had to draw and we had to concentrate on the detail and only draw what we saw. It was quite tricky. – Areeb

 

In language the Cat in the Hat group we were continuing to learn how to answer questions based on the text. We had to keep looking back at our book and use any clues that we read. – Farhan

 

The Marvellous Meerkats and the Amazing Alligators were practising their spelling. – Rebecca
