Another busy week in Primary 2B! We hope you enjoy having our jotters home to look at this week. I’m sure you will be impressed by all our hard work this term. I’m looking forward to sharing more of our learning at Parent’s Night next week!

During numeracy we enjoy using think, pair, share to discuss our mental maths. Sharing our ideas with a partner helps us to explain our strategies.

We enjoy playing lots of numeracy games to practise our skills. We even like to challenge ourselves!

 

This week, we were learning about different climate zones. We worked in groups to find information about 1 climate zone. We had different types of information to look at including texts to read, videos to watch and recorded information to listen to. We then had to share our findings and teach the others in group about our climate zone.

We are practising our skills of using warm and cold colours. We painted a picture of a chosen climate zone.

We built a habitat for an animal in a climate zone.

We built the polar zone.

We were role playing as scientists and weather forecasters.

 

 

This week during Literacy we were learning about common nouns and proper nouns. We worked in groups to sort the common nouns and proper nouns into the correct column.

We love writing sentences!

We enjoyed building waterproof homes.

Thank you to everyone who managed to come along to our open afternoons. Primary 2B loved sharing their learning and showing their grown ups around the classroom. Everyone was so busy we didn’t manage to take any pictures!

I hope you all have a lovely February weekend and look forward to hearing about it when we are back on Wednesday.

 

This week during Numeracy, we have been continuing to learn about time. This week, we learned that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

We closed our eyes and tried to guess when 1 minute had passed.

We challenged ourselves to see how many times we could complete an activity in 1 minute!

How many towers of 10 cubes could we build?

How many times could we count to 10?

How many times could we write our name?

How many star jumps or hops could we do?

We have been enjoying learning about the weather. We conducted an experiment to find out which materials are waterproof. We tested paper, paper towels, rubber gloves, wax crayon and plastic bags.

We wrote a report on our findings.

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week! 🙂
