This week we became land artists like Andy Goldsworthy and created our own natural, outdoor artworks. We used different natural materials and tried to use different textures, colours and patterns.

 

In P.E we have been improving our ball skills. We have played games and practised our throwing and catching in lots of different ways. Our favourite game was dodgeball and we love using the scoops and balls to practice.

 

In maths we have been learning how to measure using different lengths. Some of us have used non standard units, such as hand spans and others have been using metre sticks. We all enjoyed making different sized crafts with beads, pipe cleaners and straws…

We have all enjoyed our first few days back after the summer break. We have loved catching up with our friends and meeting our new teachers. We have been busy sharing and writing about our holidays. We learnt about Mrs Robertson and made all about me pictures to help everyone get to know each other.

We started learning about the Wellbeing Indicators which are important to help us be the best we can be. We set up different stations, in the classroom, for each indicator. Our favourites were the safe indictor where we got to cosy up with soft toys, blankets and pillows and listen to stories and the healthy indicator station where we ate apples and bananas and played healthy I spy.

We enjoyed Loose parts play outside where we had to work well as a team, communicate and problem solve. We made some very cool structures!

We hope that you enjoy sharing the learning that is happening in P2/3 at Newport Primary School.
