Maths Week Scotland!

We have enjoyed participating in Maths Week Scotland this week and have been exploring patterns. Some of the children have been using loose parts to create their own patterns. Today P2 and P2/1 were given a challenge to decorate a blank seaside bucket by creating their own patterns! They turned out to be brilliant, well done!

Maths Week Scotland

Primary 2 discussed their favourite ice cream as part of their seaside topic.  We then created a class graph to display what our favourite ice-creams were. Then we worked with a partner to create our own graphs.

Strawberry and mint came out on top!

Good Morning Primary 2

Today is Friday the 5th of June

Literacy

The Rainbow

Christina Rossetti By Christina Rossetti

Boats sail on the rivers,
  And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
  Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
  As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
  And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

This poem by Christina Rossetti has 2 verses. A person who writes poems is called a poet.

Task 1 – Reading, thinking and discussing.

  •  Read the poem out loud
  • What two things does the poet suggest is not as pretty as the clouds sailing in the sky?
  •  What do you think is the ” the bow that bridges heaven,
      And overtops the trees,
    And builds a road from earth to sky” is?
  •  What does the poet think is not as pretty as the “bow” ?

Task 2 – Handwriting

Choose your favourite verse from the poem and copy it in into your home learning book in your neatest handwriting. Decorate your poem by creating a beautiful border of clouds and rainbows.

Morning P2,

More and Less

Look at the way numbers change if you make them 1 or 10 more or less.

When we make numbers 1 more or less, the unit digit changes.

When we make numbers 10 more or less, the tens digit changes.

Answer these.

Look at the which digits change.

Try making up some more of your own.

You could stick to tens and units –  or even try hundreds, tens and units!

I wonder what happens when you make numbers 100 more or less…

What do you think ?
