Primary 2b are continuing to work hard and are making excellent progress in all areas of their learning.
In our Topic work we have been learning more about the sense of sight and have also been comparing it to an animal’s sense of sight. We have learned that animals use some senses more than others and can understand why they do this. We have also learned about how important it is to protect our sight and have spoken about ways to do this (we even made sunglasses for use in our role-play area!)
In maths we have been continuing to work on ordering numbers and know that we can look at our tens and units columns to help us do this. We have also been using cubes to split numbers into tens and units so that we understand the way that numbers are formed. We played a great game called ‘Banana Bang’ to help us with our mental maths skills and had a great time, we really hope we will get to play that game another time! In practical maths we have been investigating the properties of 2D shapes and can identify the number of sides these shapes have.
We took our homework bags home for the first time this week and would like to remind parents that all homework is due in on Mondays. Just a reminder that reading records and reading books will go home on a Wednesday with the homework but could they please be returned to school on a Thursday so we can continue class reading (Mrs Mansfield will send it home again on a Thursday).
A huge well done goes out to our star of the week, Ruby-Ann. Ruby-Ann is always ready to learn and can listen very carefully to instructions from the teacher making her able to extend her learning. The other boys and girls are trying very hard to become star of the week…who will win the crown next week?
