We have been making anti litter posters. We looked at the features of a poster. When making our posters, we thought about the letters and pictures we would use to persuade people not to drop litter.
Snapshot
Here is a snapshot from this week. We have been investigating Autumn leaves, acorns and conkers in the tough tray, trying to use these loose parts to make pictures and symmetrical patterns.
We used small pumpkins to work on our fine motor skills using elastic bands. This then helps use with our handwriting.
We used natural letter slices to make words as well as some of our new wooden magnetic letters.
This week a few soft toy patients arrived at our doctor’s surgery which required our doctor’s to write prescriptions for the medicine that they need so that they feel better.
Here is a photo of some of us working at the teaching table. We were carrying out a writing task related to our focus on COP26.
Plant Experiment – results
A month ago we planted broad beans. We planted one bean each and also 3 extra beans.
Bean 1 – we did not water……the bean did not grow
Bean 2 – we planted without soil……the bean started to grow a root and a shoot. It had two leaves
Bean 3 – we kept in the dark……the bean did not grow
Half of our beans did not grow, the other half grew well and this week we were able to measure how tall they were. We worked in pairs to measure the height using cubes.
We created a bar chart showing the height of each plant. The tallest plant was 29 cubes tall and the smallest was 5 cubes high.
Our plants were very fragile so we carefully took them home to continue growing.
Halloween
We had a great time being dressed up today.
P2.6 also invited us to a pumpkin hunt in their class.
PE
For our PE this term we’re focussing on gymnastics.
So far we’ve been working on balancing on different body parts and balancing on the bench
.
Maths
We recently took part in Maths Week activities. This involved completing a range of tasks and challenges. Here are some photos of us busy doing maths.
We also created a noticeboard about a famous Mathematician Keith Devlin
Some snippets of our work is displayed on our classroom walls. Have a wee peak!
