Fractions
We have been very busy in maths, we have been learning all about fractions. We were learning all about a half, we got to make different pizza toppings for each half of our pizza, used the white board to play games, and worked with a partner to collect the most half pictures.
We have been doing so well we are now moving on to learning about a quarter!
Welcome to Primary 2s wonderful Easter shop
Amy “We made arts and crafts to sell at our shop”.
Eva “We used pic collage to make posters to tell people to come to our shop”.
Annmarie “We had fun, P1 and P1/2 came to our shop to buy things”.
Michael “We told our cudtomers how much everything was, we had to check they paid the correct amount”.
Klea “We sold chicks and symmetrical eggs that we had made”.
Kevin ” I liked being the shop keeper”.
Primary 2 enjoyed making their own shop and selling items, they worked hard to check they were using the correct coins.
Common Words in the 🌞
Conor “We were writing our common words with chalk. My common words were number, best and blue”.
Kevin “One of our words even had our phoneme ue”.
Elli “It was fun, we got to write with chalk and test our partners on tricky words”.
Ayva ” Erin and I did lots of words, our common words were, girl, every, want and find”.
The Evil Fairy
Lewis “This morning, we got a letter from a King”
Kevin “The King told us to be careful because there is an evil fairy.”
Michael ” The evil fairy is causing lots of trouble, she has turned a prince into a frog”.
David ” if you see her you need to run away, don’t go near her incase she turns you into a frog”.
Erin “We have heard some rattling in my pen, and we are keeping a look out for her.”
Primary 2 will keep you updated and don’t worry we have created wanted posters and we will catch her and keep everyone safe!.
Homework
What’s the time Mr Wolf?
Primary 2 have been hard at work learning how to tell the time. We can now tell the o’clock and half past time.
Kevin “The big hand points to the minutes and the little hand points to the hour”.
Oliver “We have been doing lots of games to practice, my favourite was stop the clock”.
Eva “There are two types of clocks, analogue and digital.”
Our trip to the shop
Last Monday Primary 2 went a walk around our local area to see if we could spot any shops.
Timoti “We saw my dads restaurant, Capa Landa.
Ayva “we went to the Co op and we went inside. We saw the shop manager who takes care of the shop. She spoke about fair trade.
Erin “we saw the butchers. We even saw a customer going in to buy something.”
Benjamin ” I saw my mum in the co op she was buying something!”.
Jaymi “We saw lots of different foods like, meat, fish and sweets”.
Giing to the shops made us think of lots of questions we wanted to find out, how they get all the food there. This is something we are going to investigate further.
Homework
Our special visitor
Lewis “We had a special visitor, Mrs McLaren, she came to tell us about the 1960s and what it was like”. 🙂
Elli “Mrs McLaren told us about a tradition where the bride and groom would throw money and kids would get to keep it 😊”
Annmarie “it was very interesting”.
Ayva “Mrs McLaren told us about houses, they had a whistle kettle 😀”.
It was lovely having her in our class, we gave Mrs McLaren a sticker for her great work.
