This past week Primary 2/3 have enjoyed lots of new learning across the curriculum. During our numeracy lessons we had lots of fun exploring some new concepts and revising some concepts learned last year. The squares group looked at ordinal numbers. We made a line together and then discussed our place in the line, recording the correct ordinal number on our boards. The circles group enjoyed some place value revision as we discussed Tens and Units. We looked at some numbers on the 100 square and discussed how they are made up. We then had fun using our bodies to resemble dienes materials and work as a group to model tens and units.

During literacy we began our first talk for writing block this week. We really enjoyed the hot seating task where we had to think of questions to ask our classmate to try and figure out the animal they were thinking of. We then brainstormed some ideas for different animals that could be in our story to display on our flip chart.

After that it was time to create our own story about an animal on a journey and our ideas were fantastic! We couldn’t wait to get our ideas onto our S map and carefully drew illustrations along our S map to create our own story. We were then able to talk to our shoulder partner and use our S map to retell our journey tale.

We finished off our week by enjoying our first stay and read session where we invited along our parents and carers to our classroom to engage in some reading for enjoyment with us.

We are looking forward to next weeks stay and read session and lots more fun learning!
