We were introduced to a design brief and ours was to design a new sweet or chocolate and it’s wrapper. we heard part of a Roald Dahl story first- ” Wonderful Mr. Willy Wonka.”

We were really excited about getting our ideas onto paper. Then we discussed it and made improvements on our design before drawing our neat copy.

Keep an eye out for what we do with our designs next week!

Well done P2/3 for earning this award. Keep up the good work!

P3 have been using their prior learning about food chains to think about the food chain of a fox. Last year we learned about food chains of birds so, we used this knowledge to help us to work out what the food chain of a fox might look like. We remembered that everything in a food chain gets energy from the Sun.

We were looking at the strategy Draw a picture in Problem Solving. We know it is very important to draw clear pictures in Maths and here is a very good example. We also needed to work out our answers in number sums too to make the task more challenging.

Everybody worked well with their partner and there was lots of good discussion as we worked.

In our stories we are looking at the main character. The WHO in this story is a bear.

After walking along our new school path we drew a bird’s eye view of it. We were building on our 2D  mapping skills from last year.

We have been sharing what makes us special in our new class.

Both classes have been having fun watching a variety of  birds feeding from our bird feeders.

When we are brushing our teeth and very quiet we spot the most birds!

In Primary 2 we have been thinking about problems birds face to survive. Then we work out a solution to the problem. We have then written our stories based on this.

We have also been peer assessing and self-assessing our stories. We give good, honest feedback which helps everyone to make improvements in their writing next time.

We really enjoy sharing our stories with others and hearing their stories too.
