Week beginning 24th Sept 2018

This week we started our new topic ‘My Family’. This topic will explore the past and present. Pupils will compare their own life’s with the childhood of their grandparents. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at how school, toys, hobbies and other things have changed.

Also this week we have been working on recognising tens and units. This is a really good skill to master as we work with larger numbers.  We used concrete materials to visualise the numbers.

On Wednesday we celebrated European Languages day, Mrs Dziobek spoke to Primary 2b and shared how to say Hello in Polish.

Finally on Friday afternoon we had great fun taking part in our chosen activities. This week’s activities included:

  • using the chromebooks
  • creating a collage
  • making playdough

Another super week in Primary 2b.

Week beginning 17th Sept 2018

This week we have been working on counting in 2’s. We used different materials to make  groups of 2.

Also this week we worked with Mrs Nelson to discuss her work on developing the playground. We walked around the playground and discussed things that we would like. We drew our own designs of the playground including balancing ropes, climbing frames, a climbing wall and even a zip wire! Finally we wrote letters to Mrs Nelson sharing our ideas and opinions. We can’t wait to see how the playground will be developed over the next year.

 

 

 

 

Maths Week

This week marks the national celebration of Maths. During the week we have been working on recognising our left and right.
We have been using pom poms to help us with our number bonds.
We listened to a story about a caterpillar who gave away his many pairs of shoes.  We counted the number of shoes he gave away to each insect and then wrote a story retelling his kind act.
Finally on Friday we had a really exciting House afternoon. We worked in teams with friends and family from other classes to problem solve. We had to read clues very carefully and explore the school to find the answers.  We loved the opportunity to work with our brothers and sisters and would like to do this more often.

PE

Pupils should participate in 2 hours of PE each week.  Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday.  On a Wednesday our PE takes place in the Gym hall. On a Friday we go outside to the Muga for PE, therefore pupils must try to bring in appropriate clothing for being outside.

  • either a red/white/yellow t-shirt

Outdoor kit required:

  • trainers (old ones which can be kept in school)

Senses

This week we have begun our Science Topic : Senses.  So far we have went a walk around the school on a Senses walk, we found lots of exciting things including a delicious smell of soup coming for Mr Farrell’s class, the sound of children laughing and found lots of interesting things to touch in the P4-7 playground.

Then Miss Pervaiz brought in lots of interesting things for us to taste, smell, hear, see and touch. We loved describing and tasting the different fruits.
