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.
