Primary 2 have been working very hard this week. We have been learning lots of new things
We were looking at Sputnik in the space race. We found out that Sputnik was made up of one sphere and four cylinders – Arfa and Inaya.
Sputnik was a satellite which took pictures and sent information to earth. It was launched in a rocket by the Russians – Qasim.
We have been learning about 3D shapes. We looked cylinders, spheres, cones, cubes and cuboids – Aydin.
We were counting the amount of 3D shapes we could see outside – Muaaz.
We were learning to listen for instructions to allow us to play team games in P.E. We also learnt what it means to be a good team mate – Hafsa S.
We were learning how to visualise. Visualising is when you paint a picture of what you hear inside your head. We read the Gruffalo and thought about what we could hear, feel and see. We then watched the Gruafflo to see how close our pictures were to the story -Aimee, Hafsa S.
We made models of Sputnik out of plasticine. We had to use the plasticine to make a sphere and four cylinders – Laiba, Hooriah, Ahmed, Abdul.
We made a background of space for our Sputnik. We drew stars using chalk and we used glue and glitter. We also stuck on some circles as planets – Haadiya, Hafsa , Ahmed.
We have been talking about our favourite books as it is international book week! We were talking about our favourite books and if we would recommend them to a friend – Aydin, Ahmed.
We have been practising our take away sums this week – Muaaz.

We have been practising very hard for our nativity. The speaking parts have been working hard to practice their words and everyone else has been learning to sing beautifully for our performance – Arfa, Yahya.
