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.

Here is our blog for this week to show what we have been learning.  We hope you all have a fantastic Easter break!

In science we did an investigation using food colouring (blue and red) to see what happened when they were mixed.  Look at the beautiful colours it created!

We made silly sentences using the connective ‘but’.

For International Happiness Day we discussed and wrote about what made us happy, what we looked like when we were happy and made happiness cards for someone we care about.

Here are some of our wonderful costumes for World Book Day!

Mrs Palmer & P2b 🙂

We are sorry we didn’t get round to posting our blog on Friday but our classroom was being painted so we didn’t have much time to write it.

So here are some of the things we learned last week…

Maths

We revised some of our number work including place value and ordering 2 digit and 3 digit numbers. We also played some games to help us with this.

Literacy

We have been continuing to work on our handwriting and focusing on sitting our letters on the line. We did our reading in our reading groups and carried out tasks to support our understanding of reading.

We also had shared start last Tuesday where we showed our mums, dads and carers what we do in VCOP.  We had different challenge cards and had to follow the instructions to carry out the task.  This was fun as these challenge us!

In writing we wrote our ending to our stories which was very exciting.  We will rewrite these to make into our very own story booklet.

R.E

We were learning all about the Easter story and in groups we had to sequence the story in order- this was really fun!

This week is our last week and there are lots planned from the Bronze event, church service and end of term activiites in class.
