We were out playing in the snow one day. The playground was very frosty and we spotted some frozen spider webs and icicles. We held a container of snow and Lacey conducted her own wee experiment to see if the snow would melt when we came inside. It turned into the liquid-water. We all spoke about what we saw and it helped us to create a wordbank for our writing.
Our parents came to visit us for Read Write Count. They looked at our learning. We looked at the bags we got and played them with our parents. Emily, Ava and Donald played the rocket game. Rhys’s Dad came and watched him play Helicopter Rescue which helped Rhys practise his numbers to 100. Well done P2b.
In Science, we were learning about Solids, Liquids and Gases. We made a cloud in the classroom. Kaiden said ‘We’ve made a cloud!’ “We were learning about molecules.” We had to stand really close together like a solid, and then we were wavey like liquid and then ‘floaty’ and spaced out like a gas!
“We blew bubbles in the freezer, to see what would happen to a bubble when the temperature drops. It kept on popping so we watched a video instead!” Cara
During P2b’s expressive arts lesson, the children have been learning about Kandinsky. The children analysed the lines, shapes and colours found in his pictures and were given the choice of two of his pieces to recreate.
Children commented on the different types of images they could see. e.g. The descriptive language through discussion included ‘wavy, straight, black lines.’ with shapes such as ‘triangles, circles, rectangles and squares’. This linked in well with learning of 2D shapes in maths this week too.
Using a variety of media and techniques, the children designed different pictures in the style of Kandinsky.
P2b have been creating ‘healthy’ sentences. Children were given ‘sick’ sentences which had a variety of missing capital letters, missing full stops and spelling mistake. The doctor was called!
The children had to correct these sentences as part of the target for the day. This target allows children focus on improving their writing and self edit thier work. As the children become more proficient during their play activities, it is likely to filter into their weekly writing lessons.
