We enjoyed being creative outdoors using the loose parts play. We teamed up with P2a to work on team building skills and using our friendship qualities which we have been discussing in our topic.

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.

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!

Last week we did many different maths problem solving challenges during our numeracy lessons to celebrate Maths Scotland Week! On Friday, we did the STEM challenge in groups to see which group could build the tallest structure.

A big well done to Minha and Aysha for completing the summer reading competition!

This afternoon we had a surprise visitor from our primary one teacher, Miss McAlpine! We worked on our talking and listening skills through a helicopter story activity. We really enjoyed acting out some of the stories.

This week we are looking at how the Earth impacts the Earth and investigating what causes shadows.

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!
