Numeracy – Right Angles

Our numeracy topic is directions and yesterday we learned about right angles. We discovered that when we turn our bodies left or right, we move in the shape of a right angle.

We explored our classroom to discover where we can find right angles in our everyday environment, for example within the clock!


We then decided to go a walk throughout the school and into the playground to discover where else we could find right angles within the environment.

Directions

Our current numeracy topic is directions. We have been looking at prepositional language such as up, down, beside, behind and in front of. We have also been playing at the tuff tray where we created a road map for our toy cars to practise moving forwards, backwards and turning.

Primary 2 have been loving this song to help learn their lefts and rights! Here is the link if you want to have a listen and practise at home!

Numeracy – Measurement

Our new numeracy topic is measurement. We have explored measuring in non-standard and standard units. We have been comparing and ordering objects to see what is longer, taller or shorter. We have been learning how to measure in centimetres and used a ruler to measure classroom objects. We even tried to put ourselves into height order!
