P2b have been loving maths week so far! This week we have been using lots of different numeracy skills across all areas of the curriculum.
P2b showed this week that they are very independent learners. They have been hard at work creating their own patterns using different resources in the class.
Also during maths week we have been experimenting with different resources that can help us with adding and subtracting. Our favourites so far have been the recknreck counting frames and the numeracy blueprints.
We went on a treasure hunt around the playground this week. We had to use a map to locate each clue in the playground. Once we had found each clue we had to use our counting skills to add up the number of objects at each point. We had lots of fun working together to find the treasure!
This week we had a visit from a very special person…. BOOKBUG!! We had a fantastic morning singing songs and listening to a story all about numbers and counting.
Today we learned about symmetry. We used this knowledge and our art skills to design symmetrical butterflies.
Lastly, today we channelled our inner Mary Berry and made our own Chocolate Krispie Cakes. We had so much fun using our measuring skills to weigh out the ingredients. We worked together as a team to melt the chocolate, mix the ingredients together and spoon the mixture into the cases. They tasted yummy!
I was very lucky that I had 2 fantastic volunteers to help wash and dry the dishes!
