Mums are you even prouder of your child when you read your Mother’s Day story? With such lovely mothers it is not surprising we have such lovely children in p3/2. We had a busy week writing about and drawing our mums.

We  entered an Edinburgh Fringe poster competiton. We looked at previous winning posters, identified what made them stand out then used this knowledge when designing our own poster. This strategy we try to use continually. Identify what works and improve.

We learned about division this week and because we could link it to what we knew about multiplication we were pleasantly surprised at how easy we found it. The previous knowledge that helps includes knowledge of: equal groups, arrays, numbers line, pattern, skip counting and multiplication tables. We spotted that similar to addition and subtraction facts having a link, multiplication and division facts are linked. We made number triangles and wrote out the number sentences we could make from them.

Busy week ahead

Shared start on Tuesday.

Roman trip to Callandar House on Wednesday.

Roman homelearning project are starting to arrive in class and the children have reported the fun they have had in doing them. Remember the learning intention was to have fun research and recording learning related to Roman Britian. The focus was the process not the product so don’t feel pressured to have a model, speech or object at the end. Focus on the fun in learning.
