What a busy time we are having in p2b. We have been using lots of things to help us visualise and deepen our understanding.
During maths time we have been using straws and ten frames when subtracting from a teens number. We bundled ten straws into 1 bumble of ten. This has helped us see that a teens number is a ten and some ones. This has made us move accurate when subtracting.
When learning tricky words we have written in purple sand, cut out tricky words from some pages of writing, used magnetic letters and used playdoh.
We are on holiday on Monday and Tuesday so we have no homelearning jotter to take home. We still have reading and tricky words to read and spell.

Olaf needs a coat! By P2bg
This week we carried out our science experiments to test whether or not wearing a coat would stop a snowman from melting. Most of the class were very surprised to see that the ice cubes in our test ‘snowmen’ melted less quickly when they were wearing a coat. Well done to Miles who correctly predicted this would happen last week!
We continues our Frozen learning theme by learning about why it snows. We know that Elsa doesn’t really cause snow to happen but we had some interesting ideas about what actually does cause it to snow. Teighan thought it might get God pouring out flour when he was making a cake and some of us thought that Santa makes it snow. We learned how snow is actually made by watching a video of water droplets freezing to become ice crystals. We then made our own paper snowflakes and wrote explanations of what happens when it snows to accompany them.
We have been working hard learning our songs for Celebrating Success on Thursday 14th May and look forward to seeing our friends and family there.

p2g go Through the Keyhole
This week in writing some of us did a piece of work entitled ‘Through the Keyhole.’ We had to imagine that we were peeking through a keyhole and we had to describe what we could see inside a room. Here is some of our writing:
Kai
The room is a living room. I can see flowers. I can see toys. The wallpaper is blue. On the wall is a black mirror.
Evan
It is a living room. I can see a couch. The walls are blue. There is a tv.
Emma
It is a bedroom. I can see a bed. The walls have red spots on a blue background.
Sophie
I can see a big bedroom. It has pink paint. There is a big, wide bed. There is a basket. There are dressing up clothes. There is a wardrobe.
We had to read our writing to a friend and see if they could get a picture of the room in their head. Doing this task helped us to think about describing settings and this is something we can transfer into our story writing.
This week in P2g
This week in P2g we have been learning about selling houses. We learned about the job of Estate Agents and our role play area in the classroom has been turned into an Estate Agents. We made For Sale posters for the Estate Agents. We learned about describing words and we tried to use some describing words to talk about the houses on our posters.
On Monday afternoon we will be going on a walk to look at houses in the local area. Remember to bring in green forms with up to date emergency contact information on them and to bring a jacket and suitable footwear for walking.
Have a nice weekend!
