The primary 2’s have been practising counting in 2’s. As well as counting eyes, feet, ears etc in the class they have been counting pairs of wellies, pairs of socks and finding pairs of objects to count. They practised with a partner playing clapping games and pegging up washing.
They worked together to display their items and write numbers to 20 and beyond by counting them in 2’s.
The class display looks great and they love counting the socks as they walk past.
We read the story Rocket Mole in class then the children made their own little moles to launch into space!
Initially this needed careful cutting, designing, colouring and folding to make a little cone shaped mole.
The children all listened really well to instructions and loved getting their moles as high as they could by blasting them with the plastic bottles.
The children have been thinking about how they feel when they come to school and let me know by placing their photograph on the colour emotion. This gives me a quick indication of who may be needing a little help to move into the green (happy) zone.
The children really enjoyed their first visit to the library this term. The Primary 1’s were super chuffed that they could take their books home until next Friday.
