We have been listening to the well know Roald Dahl story….’George’s Marvellous Medicine’. We thought this story was epic. We noticed that Roald Dahl had used lots of wow words, eg, pondering, tramendous and hesitating. We will try to use these in our VCOP sentences.
We also had a go at creating our very own marvellous medicine. We added a mixture of ingredients including squeezy strawberry jam, shaving foam and brown paint. We tried to make exactly 500 ml of medicine which is the same as half a litre. We used a measuring jug to measure it out. This experience has helped us to learn about volume.
In Maths, we have been learning about place value. Understanding place value means that we know what each digit in a number is worth. For example, the number 23 is made up of 2 tens and 3 units. We can add these together to give us our number of 23.
To deepen our understanding, we worked together to put cotton buds into bundles of ten, securing them with an elastic band. Step 1 was complete!
Then, we were able to use the bundles of buds to help us count in tens. We used loose cotton buds as the units. We worked with a partner to record the tens in one column, and the units in another. Success!
Our next step was to use place value number cards to help us create 2 digit numbers. 
We worked so hard and we are so proud of all that we have achieved! We are Maths stars in Primary 2. Keep up the hard work!
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?
We have been learning to write numbers 1,2,3 and 4. We drew the correct amount beside each number.
Lori then wrote amazing number 3’s and drew 3 books and 3 faces.
