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.

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.

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. **
