This week we have been very busy finishing our castle. We now have a dungeon with a dragon and a treasure chest and a banquet table with a jester to entertain us. We enjoy playing in our castle but we have to be careful when going in because there is a crocodile in our moat!
We have been learning about the features of a castle and can name some parts of the building such as the drawbridge and the arrow slits. We now know why were castles were built and how the different parts helped to keep them safe from an enemy attachk.
In writing this week we have started a new story about a dragon. We are reading the story ‘Zog’ and it gave us some great ideas about dragons. Miss Henderson came down to read our Detective Granny stories and was very impressed with our story writing.
In maths we are starting to look at multiplication. We are learning how to count groups of objects.
We all really enjoyed the open morning today. We created self portraits for the banquet hall in our castle. The adults that came to visit our class helped us to use different materials. Thank you very much to everyone who came along and we hope ou enjoyed yourself!
Hi Primary 2e,
I was very impressed with your Detective Granny stories when I came to read them all this week and how much your writing skills have developed in Primary 2. I’ve been telling lots of people about how well you have all done.
Your castle looks fab in the classroom and I know you will have lots of fun playing in it.
It was great to see all of your families visiting your class this morning and they looked like they were enjoying helping you with your activity.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone.
Miss Henderson

When my daddy finished the picture he thought he was going to win a prize but he didn’t. He enjoyed being in the class and had lots of fun.
I am excited about my homework to build a castle at home. Sam
