P5b 25/26

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!

The diamonds and the triangles enjoyed working with the numicons as concrete material to support our learning of number bonds to 10.

Today, we looked at the importance of hand washing. We learned all about germs, discussing how small they are and how we cannot see them. We painted our hands to practise washing our hands!

Here are some of our creations during play this afternoon!

Thanks to all parents and guardians who came to visit our new P2 classroom. Click on the link to view the presentation which was on during the open afternoon!
