We have been learning about bar graphs and have been enjoying more number talks!

Here are some amazing examples of the fabulous work your children are doing!

 

We have been learning about bar graphs!

P2/3 created their very own bar graph.

“I know that the numbers go up the y axes” – Danial.

We were able to create our own bar graph based on our favourite birds! Children were be able to answer questions about the most and least popular bird.

 

NUMBER TALKS

“I enjoyed number talks” Haania.

We are continuing our number talks and are enjoying looking at the different strategies we all have in P2/3 when working out the same problems!

 

LENT

We have been learning about lent – Eshal.

“We learned that Jesus sacrificed food for 40 days” -Danial

We spoke about our own ideas of what we would give up if we had to. Lots of children were giving up fizzy drinks and sweets. We decided we could be healthy instead.

“I would go into town and give all of my money from the piggy bank to the homeless” – a beautiful answer from Hikmah

This conversation led us to speak about charities like ‘Marys Meals” and we learned about the global goals.

We spoke about goals 1 and 2 and how we could help children who are in poverty and give money to charities like Mary’s Meals to help stop hunger!

“We could give everyone  food” – lovely idea Omar!

 

We learned how to write Instructions! – Haania/Layth

We wrote lots of amazing instructions on how to make the 3 course dinner chewing gum! Check out our cool wall display!

Looks like storytelling week has become story telling fortnight! We just can’t get enough of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Check out our cool 3 course meal chewing gum me made today!

We’ve wrote the instructions if you ever want to try this out.. I don’t know if I would though 😯😂…. Yuck!

 

Some amazing chewing gum packets designs!

 

 

We have had lots of fun this week reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

We have also had opportunities to create our own chocolate factories. What an imagination this class has!

We have had some incredible writing this week. Overwhelmed by how well P2/3 have come on with their writing!

We are becoming independent in our self-assessment. We can use a checklist to make sure our work is correct.

 

We have been working on punctuation.

We love using question marks for asking sentences, full stops for telling sentences and exclamation marks exciting sentences.

And we can’t forget to mention this wonderful boy Omar.

He has blossomed into a young writer this week and has been working so hard on story writing. He has shown so much confidence with his independent writing. Well done Omar keep it up!

Numeracy

We love number talks !

We have a new exciting mental maths conversations with one another with new hand gestures to show that we have and answers and strategies and if we agree or need more explanation from one another. This has been a great way to show that we can complete different maths problems in different ways and building a very inclusive environment where everyone feels valued when sharing different strategies.

 

This is what different children saw when we looked at a range of dots. We have so many different strategies in P2/3!!

Hope you all have a lovely February break.

We were invited along to the Tramway and expierienced what it was like to visit a real exhibition. We discussed the art work and we even filmed some scenes for a movie which will we made for the exhibition.

We we’re lucky enough to have two days of fun filled art as we had a visit to our class from the tramway and we made our own pieces of art work which will be displayed at the exhibiton.

1.  Dirko was given the opportunity to film some of the scenes! Well done Dirko!

Music

 

We have stepped it up a notch now in music and we are beginning to write our own music! Maybe we will have some future composers this class!

We have been engaging in lots of mindful colouring this week and Eshal has some inspirational quotes she would like to share with everyone!

And we can’t forget to celebrate our achievements this week! Some of us have now mastered the shopkeeper strategy and have been working hard on times tables! 😊 others know all of the tricky words! And some of us have produced incredible writing ! So poud 💚
