Welcome back everyone, and happy Children in Need!

Literacy

In literacy this week we learned a new sound, we practiced our vowels and we did some writing! We also used our literacy skills in our new engineering topic- we had to write a design brief for a new machine that can clear rubbish from the ocean.

Numeracy

We continued learning about odd and even numbers, money, giving change and greater than and less than signs. We got to use our new home corner shop to practice spending money and getting change.

H&WB

We did some drama this week on showing how to be a good friend and what this looks like. Primary 2 A is full of great friends and we always show friendship which is one of our school values.

IDL- Engineering

We learned about famous engineers this week and spoke about why they are so important, what they had been involved in and how they have shaped the world we live in today.

We were set a challenge of creating a new invention that could be used to remove litter from the ocean. We each designed and labelled a design and then worked in groups to merge of all the designs by using one part of each. After this we drew our final designs and then got to model it using the playdough we made.

Finally, we got to use all of the resources in the classroom to build our final creation! Check them out, we worked so hard.

Thank you for reading our class blog, come back next week to see everything else we get up to.

 

Hello readers, welcome back to another week in the life of primary 2A.

H&WB

We began the week with health and wellbeing. We continued speaking about people who help us and made posters of someone in our life that can help us.

 

PE

In PE we had our final week of gymnastics, we performed our routines. We loved showing the class our routines and everything we had been working on.

Literacy

In literacy we worked so hard with our new reading challenging books. We also learned a new sound and all about vowels. We got to play different games to practice our sounds too. We also spoke about some wow words that we could use to describe fireworks.

 

Maths

In maths we continued practicing our counting, we were counting in 2’s, 5’2, and 10’s. This is helping us use our mental maths for tricky questions. We also practiced sequencing numbers and spotting the missing number in sequences.

We also began to learn about money, we looked at lots of different coins and began adding them together to make different totals.

 

Art

In art this week we used our printing skills to create fireworks using lollipop sticks and forks. We also used chalk to create fireworks, and straws. We spoke about all the different ways that we could create fireworks using the art skills that we have.

Construction

Finally, Miss Brodie set us a construction challenge to build a treehouse that can hold animals, check them out!

Have a great weekend everyone 🙂

Hello readers,

Here is everything we got up to this week.

In PE we made up some gymnastics routines using different jumps, balances and skills on the benches. We are looking forward to performing these on Monday in our groups to the class. In outdoor PE we had fun doing some Halloween races… look at our scary faces.

In literacy we continued our work in DLL with lots of new books. We learned a new sound and played some games about nouns. We love learning new skills every week and we love getting our new books.

In maths we continued learning about weight. We spoke about different things we use weight for a decided we should put our new skills to the test by following a recipe. We made playdough – it was so much fun.
We also played lots of different maths games throughout the week to practice our number skills. We also got to play some Halloween maths games.

In health and wellbeing we spoke about people who help us in and out the school.

We had so much fun doing lots of Halloween activities during the week, look at all of our fun games.

Thank you for reading our class blog. We hope you had a great Halloween and a happy Diwali to those who celebrated. We are excited to learn about Guy Fawkes night in our celebrations topic next week.
