Our final 2 weeks of 2020 in P2b have been filled with creativity and excitement. It has been lovely to see the boys and girls having so much fun together! Please check out our P2 Christmas poetry recital on Google Classrooms if you have not already had the chance!
Speedy Skills
Literacy
We have explored non-fiction texts and ‘ing’ endings on words!
Everyone was fantastic at sorting fiction and non-fiction texts and using the contents and index pages to find information!
Numeracy
We have finished off our measure topic with weight! We sorted and ordered items by weight and used everyday items to estimate and measure. Finally we learned about 1kg and how heavy this was.
We have continued to revise our number bonds to 20, missing nunber calculations and addition and subtraction calculations through some exciting online games!
Team Challenges!
This week we had 2 final team challenges- to create a Snowman outdoors and to solve a design challenge- a marshmallow catapult!
Once the designs were completed we tested them out! We discussed how to make it a fair experiment, then measured the distance using metre sticks. The longest marshmallow flight was 4 metres 20 cm!!
PE
In PE we have had lots of fun practising team games and football skills in the MUGA! We played elephant football, practised passing and trapping a ball and played ‘beat the goalie!’ (A very brave Miss McCann!)
Christmas crafts and a wonderful party!
Matthew and Ben were over the moon that their outfits were matching!
I
After some fun games in the hall, we came back to class for snacks, juice and a chat. I was very proud of everyone for being excellent sports and trying their best in all games!
We have made lots of Christmas crafts this week including wooden baubles, snowman tealights and Christmas cards!
We listened to ‘Walking in the Air’ and discussed the instruments and lyrics. Everyone then used this information to draw their own interpretation of what was happening!
On Friday, we decorated biscuits to look like reindeer! They were very messy to eat.
