We were very busy in P2b last week learning lots of new and exciting things.
Lots of the boys and girls showed fantastic creativity and team work during maths time using different resources found in the classroom. Hannah, Liam, Ben, LaCie and Eilidh made a very long chain. They then used rulers to measure the length of the chain.
They discovered that the ruler was 32 rulers long. We worked out that the total length was 960cm because each ruler is 30cm long. The circles were working very hard on finding fractions of shapes. During independent learning time Cieran extended his knowledge of fractions.
The squares were working hard learning how to solve missing number calculations. All of the pupils were very focused throughout the lesson and received a sticker from Mrs Sturgees for their dedication.
Lots of the boys and girls enjoyed building and creating different models this week. Some of them used the Lego to build houses, castles and shops.
We received a mysterious delivery last week. We all guessed what we thought it was. The majority of P2b thought it was a book.
Miss McFlynn read the story to us but we didn’t know the title and we weren’t allowed to see the pictures. We closed our eyes whilst the story was read to us and visualised what we thought was happening. After we heard the story we designed a front cover that we thought would match the story we heard. We also gave our stories a title. Miss McFlynn then revealed to us what the story was actually called and what the front cover looked like. Some of us were very close!
We also began learning about the properties of water. We discussed in groups where we see water and what we used it for. We drew and wrote our ideas on paper and shared them with the rest of the class.
