Today we were working on Symmetry.  We had lots of fun learning about it. The pictures below show our class working in groups to complete Symmetry tasks.

At station 1 we had to match the cards of the ladybirds and butterflies so that the shapes were symmetrical.

At station 2 we had to use materials and make a symmetrical pattern.

At station 3 we used the peg boards to make symmetrical designs.

We also played a symmetry game on top marks website. We had to decide if the pattern was symmetrical or not. We got most of them correct.

We learned that for a shape to be symmetrical it must be a mirror image!!

 

We have been working very hard in gym this week. We can do a bounce pass, a chest pass and we have been practicing our shooting skills. We have been working together in a team to try and score as many baskets as possible. It’s been loads of fun!

 

Primary 2 have been having a great week making some Halloween art work! We used cotton buds to create a skeleton effect, here are some examples, let us know what you think. 

Primary 2 have been learning all about energy. This week we have been making our very own windmills! Its been too wet to test them outside this week, but we are hoping to do it after the October week.

Kevin said ‘It was fun making them’.

Erin “We used glue to stick it down, and scissors to cut it out.”

Eva ” We used a straw to make the windmill pole.”

Jaymi “We got to colour our windmills in different colours”.

Lewis “We had to work hard to make our windmills, but we didn’t give up!”

Klea “I wish we could take them outside today.”

We are very excited to see if they work when we go outside on the next windy day!

 

 

Primary 2 made their own number line all the way up to 100!

Annmarie- “It was fun.”

Amy “We used glue to stick it all together.”

Michael “It was hard work to find all the numbers and put them in the correct order”.

We we were learning about how water can make a wheel move. This links to our topic about energy.

David “When you pour the water slowly the wheel moves slowly, when you pour the water fast it goes very, very, very, very, very fast.

 

We are learning about germs and how they spread!

Conor “we put cream on our hands then rubbed them with sparkles to see how the germs (sparkles) could spread.

William “it was so fun.”

Elli “We learned if we wash our hands with soap the germs go away.”

Klea “If you don’t wash your hands the germs wont go away”.

Oliver “If there is not soap you could use hand sanitizer”.

Primary 2 have been learning about tens and units, it can be quite tricky but we have made a great start!

Lewis “It’s fun learning about our tens and units.”

Michael “It is interesting splitting our numbers up”

Erin ” When we swap our numbers into different columns it makes different numbers”.
