We have been learning how to create animations using ‘I Can Animate’ software.
We began by learning about setting, then created fantastic drawings of a jungle setting. We also wrote some excellent Jungle Explorer stories based on our setting! They were exciting to read with lots of action.
Next, we used our drawings as a background for our animations. Our friends in Primary Three shared their learning with us and taught us how to create an animation using ‘I Can Animate’ software. We have started to create our animations and they are coming along brilliantly. We will share more of our learning about animation as we go along.
After our recent visit from the Singing Children of Africa, we had so many questions about Africa! Our visitors from the choir answered some of them…but many were still to be discovered! So, we have decided to see if we can find the answers to the rest. We are going to embark on an exploration of amazing Africa this term – we can’t wait to delve deeper and begin to answer our questions.
This week, we have enjoyed listening to traditional African folktales about Anansi the Spider. Anansi is a wise spider and we loved hearing the story about how he gathered lots of wisdom in a jar, then spread it around the world to help others!
After the story, we used our shape knowledge and cutting skills to create our very own Anansi spiders. Have a look at our finished work and our use of bright colour and shape – don’t they look fabulous?
What a fantastic week! Primary 2 have had a super start to the new term with positive attitudes all round. We have had lots of enjoyable experiences this week, and we are so excited for the many events to come over the course of this term – so stay tuned!
We spent some time reflecting on our experiences at the end of term one and added these to our ‘What Stuck With You?’ wall.
A question we ask ourselves in Primary 2 is ‘what inspired you today?’
Why not have a think about our question – what would your answer be?
In Literacy we have been learning to write a list for our class party. We had to choose 7 children from our class and our favourite Mr. Men character for our guest list.
We had to use bullet points and organise under a title. We know that proper names begin with a capital letter. Ruby successfully created her party list.
We will be able to use these skills when we organise another event.
We have been learning to write personal news copying an opening sentence from the board and adding a sentence on our own. Alyssa has been successful because she has written a common word, used finger spaces, sounded out words on her own and used a full stop.
P.1a have been learning about people who help us in school. We interviewed Elaine ,the cook, Mrs Gaught from the office, Mrs Rennie the P.S.A and Gerry the lollipop man. We used our listening skills to hear all about their jobs.
We observed them carefully to help us to draw very good pictures of all the people who help us. Here is Elaine ,the cook.
Primary 1 have been learning the new sounds, s,a,t, i,p,n. We have been learning the sounds by singing action songs, using whiteboards, playing games and using magnetic letters. We can use our sounds to help us read new words.
