Class 2

Class 2 have been very busy this week working on adverbs (which we now know is a word used to describe actions). Liam and Cody came up with some good adverbs – carefully, skilfully and quietly. We have also been working really well in maths, filling in the missing numbers which we are getting really good at. We are finding different ways of working out the missing numbers. Our Out and About was very interesting this week. At the bank we got to see where all the money is kept. Ssh it’s a secret we can’t tell you where but have a careful look at the photos we took.

Aiden:

I have been doing very hard work this week. This week I went Out and About to the bank. I learnt how to use a bank card – “Now I know how to use a bank card”. I went to PE with my P4 class on Monday and we played a game called castles – which is about dodging and thinking and knocking the other team’s castle down. We also did our health jotters. I went to PE on Tuesday as well with Class 2 and we played Cat and Mouse. I also went swimming on Thursday where I did some good swimming. We had Home Learning this week and we had some maths questions. I found these very easy.

Cody:

This week I have enjoyed breakfast club and I sat next to Archie who is my friend from my P3 class. With Miss. Waddell this week I learnt about adverbs which describe how we do something. You can sing – slowly, quietly or loudly. Maths jobs this week were easy and had simple answers. Some of the questions were 4 + 4, I know this makes 8. PE was good this week with Mr. Jeffries, we were practising our balancing skills. We also did a Sports Relief activity in the hall where we ran round the hall 10 times. I passed quite a few people. I enjoyed this.

Caitlin:

I have found the missing letters in my Reading this week. On Thursday we ran around the hall for Sports Relief – I ran some then walked some as I was out of breath. I got a sticker from Miss. Cameron at swimming because I was swimming well. The sticker smelt of mint. I worked with Dylan at PE to practise balancing. We had to walk around a curvy line with a bean bag on our head. On Friday we went to the Sports Relief Bake Sale where I got 3 cakes and 1 of these was a chocolate cake. It was “yummy”.

Dylan:

I have been doing some great jobs this week. Doing maths jobs on the ipad. With Mrs. Clark I have been learning about missing numbers and how to work out what they are. Sports Relief Bake Sale was on Friday and I bought a big chocolate cake, a rice krispie cake and a cake with 3 marshmallows on the top. I had the chocolate cake for snack. I made a video of all the school bells this week with Miss. Waddell then I watched it at choose time. I also did a word search for reading. It was easy. At Out and About we went to the bank and the lady was really nice and gave us our own cash box to keep at home, it even has a cash card in it.

P4l Weekly Update

Hello from P4l

Another week has whizzed by and it is Friday already.  We ended the week with some Chinese New Year arts and crafts making super snake spirals and lovely lucky money wallets.  Goodbye to Year of the Dragon and hello Year of the Snake. 

We used our letter writing skills again this week and were given a free choice as to who we could write to.  We amazed Mrs Leamy with our writing skills and thought up some great reasons to write letters from complaints about rabbits to invites for sleepovers.  Everyone had a different idea and we showed our skills and creativity all at the same time.

We are continuing our work looking at Mary Queen of Scots and this week focused on her early life.  We had a great drama session on Tuesday as we took on roles and recreated her early years.

Wednesday was our last day with Mrs Mooney and we created some amazing art in the form of pointillism paintings and continued our work on ‘Being Cool in School’, looking at cool responses to situations.

Next week we are going to start our trips to the library again, so any books due for the library please bring them and your card on Thursday.

Bye P4l
