PATPAL and our learning throughout the week

1 Comment

Thank you so much to all of our adults who visited P2 during our PATPAL morning. We loved having you in class to show off our learning in maths.

We are learning to count ‘groups of’ and some of us are able to work out the matching multiplication sum too!

P2 loved the ‘perseverance’ workshop with Darren on Thursday. We found some of the activities a challenge but we used our growth mindsets to keep trying and we never gave up!

We looked at the soldiers uniform as part of our Romans topic and wrote an application form to be a Roman soldier. We used super capital letters and full stops during our writing. Well done Ben for writing the reasons that he would be a great soldier to convince the reader to hire him! P2 did very well to support each other to make their writing even better during peer marking time, super work!

 

I loved hearing all of the Scottish poems in class this week and well done to our winner Lauren for using excellent actions during her poem.

This week parents had the opportunity to visit the nursery to spend time with their children in nursery and find out what they like to do in their time here.

Many parents enjoyed joining in with various activities their children participate in.

Some parent’s comments-

” Loved Gym time. Great experience for us and seeing the confidence of the kids. Thanks.”

“Really enjoyed Music, nice to see what the kids get up to and learn about their topics.”

“Great to see him interact with all the other kids. Showed me round all his favourite things.”

“Had a great day learning French!”

“Had a lovely time. love how much you interact with the kids. Great job.”

A big thank you to all the parents and families who were able to attend our I count PATPAL morning (Pupils as Teachers, Parents as Learners). P1/2 were delighted to have you there and enjoyed teaching you all about what we have been learning in maths.

During maths this week we have been practising identifying all the coins up to £1 and have been working on using money to buy different items and make different values.  We have been impressing Mrs Lloyd with our independent work and also with our pattern making!

In P.E. this week the boys and girls enjoyed gymnastics with Mr Muldoon.  Here are some action shots!  Mr Muldoon is very impressed with the gymnastic skills!

As part of our growth mindset work we have been discussing what makes a good learner.  Look at our great ideas!

In literacy this week we worked in groups to look for and highlight some different types of writing within a text.  The children worked very well together in groups and managed to find some different looking text which they later found out was called bold and italic writing.  We played a silly game to help us learn these words and are ready to look out for bold and italic text in our reading and library books.

Finally, after reading Jack and the Beanstalk, the boys and girls came up with the idea of growing their own beanstalks.  Here are some photos of them planting the seeds – we can’t wait to see if they grow!

Well done boys and girls and please help me to remember to water the seeds next week!
