Maths Week 2019

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!

P2b have yet again had a very busy and productive week!

This week in numeracy we have been looking at pattern. We created our own patterns in the class using different shapes and colours.

Jamie, Liam, Hannah, Millie, Dylan and Libby worked together to make a huge chain. They used their problem solving skills to come up with a way to measure how long the chain was. They discovered it was 35 rulers long!

We went outside this week and went on a ‘senses’ walk around the school. We were on the hunt for things that we could see, smell, hear, feel and taste. We discovered lots of different things on our walk.

We also spent the week revising some french greetings that we learned in P1 and were introduced to some new ones. We walked around the class to music and when it stopped we found a friend to practice our french conversational skills. We know how to say hello, my name is and tell people how we are. Ask us at home!

Numeracy

This week we have been very busy learning some new numeracy skills. The squares have started learning about money this week and have been practicing organising coins by colour and amount.

Some of the boys and girls have been working hard on their mental calculation strategies. They have been using these to solved addition problems beyond 20.

Eilidh and Libby opened up a shop in the class.

Also lots of the boys and girls used the 2D shapes to create lots of fantastic patterns and pictures.

As you can see we have had a very busy week so far in P2b!
