Last week was another fun filled week of learning for primary 2/3. We started off our week with some active counting up to 100 and counting up in 2s who lost busting some moves and trying different exercises as we counted.

Next it was time for some new learning in numeracy as the squares group looked at place value with tens and units and the circles group looked at place value with hundreds, tens and units. We really enjoyed using different materials and equipment to create our numbers and display them on our place value charts.

On Thursday afternoon we entered our classroom and noticed things looked a little different! Our classroom was in darkness with strange footprints on the floor, a pair of scary orange eyes watching us from the smart board and a video and poster clue to help us find out who had been in our classroom. We were delighted to find out it was The Gruffalo!

After the excitement of the morning we enjoyed burning off some energy during our P.E lesson later that day. We demonstrated excellent teamwork as we worked together in different team games demonstrating our ball skills, throwing, passing and running.

Finally to finish off our week we enjoyed another great session if stay and read with some of our grown ups before we began creating our portraits of The Gruffalo using our pencil to lightly outline the key features of this scary creature and then dabbing on some brown paint to try and create a furry effect for the Gruffalos body. 

Check in later this week to see what great work we have been doing this week!
