Have a great weekend!

We have been celebrating the great learning of P2b this week by taking part in the Celebrating Success assembly.  We enjoyed performing to you all and are so proud of our achievements this year!

Maths and Numeracy

This week in maths we started learning about division.  We understand that dividing is sharing things between groups.  We managed to divide objects and numbers in equal groups and it was great fun! We started learning how to divide by sorting it into ‘groups of’ too.  We revisited length and learned that 100cm=1m, 10mm=1cm.  We had fun working in pairs measuring different things such as hair length, arm length and lots more!

Literacy

In writing we have been learning about the features of an information book and have started writing our own about African animals.

In reading we are getting better at using the Literacy box and are enjoying self-assessing our work.

Learning across the Curriculum

We have started practicing for our assembly and we are so excited about it!  We love the songs and can’t wait to share it with you all in a couple of weeks.

We had our second session with Xcite where we sorted foods into the correct section of the food plate.  We also played banana tig which was great fun.

Class assembly- 31st May @ 2.30pm

What another busy week in P2b! Here are some of the things we enjoyed…

Literacy

This week we finished our story all about ‘The Magic Hat’.  They are all super stories and we are really proud of our work.

We learned about alliteration and we know that these are words close together or next to one another that start with the same letter.

We also made posters for the float which are all about Toy Story.

Maths and Numeracy

We are nearly finished multiplication and we continued our topic about measurement.  We learned how to estimate length and also how to check if our estimates were right.  We really enjoyed this and we got to use non standard units to measure such as cubes, dice and paper clips to measure them.

Learning across the curriculum

In drumming we enjoyed learning new rhythms and I like when Mrs Palmer  taught us new songs to sing along with the rhythms.  We did it all about African animals.

We have been learning all about what makes a healthy meal and we split up into groups to sort foods into different categories.

Marcus came 2nd place in the Tesco Art Competition.  This is a great achievement as there were more than 8000 entries.  His picture will go on display in the National Gallery.  Well Done Marcus!

Finally …

**Next Friday (11th May) we will begin an Xcite programme within the school running for 3 Fridays from 11am to 12pm. For this, the children will require sports clothing. They can either wear their P.E. kit or they can bring in something else on the day. However, due to the timing, the children will not be able to change back into their school uniform before being collected at 12.10pm. Therefore, if they choose to wear their P.E. kit, please ensure they return it on the following Monday, thank you. Also, for these 3 weeks we will have our golden time on Thursday. **

What a great week it has been in P2b.  We have been learning lots of exciting things!

Literacy

We have been writing another story this week all about a magic hat.  We have written the beginning and middle so far and can’t wait to finish it next week.  We are getting really good at planning too!

We enjoyed learning all about Onomatopoeia and we know that we use this to describe sounds or feelings.  For example, we would describe a horse galloping as ‘trip, trop’ or strong winds as ‘whoosh’.  We can’t wait to use this in our writing next week!

We are using the literacy box lots now and we are really enjoying it.

Maths and Numeracy

Some of our groups are getting really good at their 2 times tables and enjoy using the cubes to help them find ‘groups of’ numbers. Other groups have been working on their 5 times table and managed to build a house from working out tricky sums.

We have started learning about length in measure and we worked out if objects were bigger or smaller, shorter or longer than our pencil.  We also sorted ourselves into a line from the shortest person to the tallest person- have a look…

Learning Across the Curriculum

In our topic of Africa we were learning more about animals.  We learned about different parts of their bodies and managed to stick the correct words to the correct body part.

We also learned how to look after animals and we focused this on a pet dog and spoke about what we need before we get a dog and how to look after them once we have them.
