What a lovely maths session we had today learning all about symmetry.  P1/2 worked very hard and enjoyed a variety of activities including colouring symmetrical butterflies, making symmetrical patterns with numicon and lego, colouring and making symmetrical easter eggs, completing symmetrical patterns on the smartboard and using counters to make symmetrical patterns.  Everyone worked really hard and enjoyed our very practical maths session today!  Good work everyone!

A big well done to P1/2 for winning the Goblet of Good Manners trophy this week.  We collected an impressive 32 post its!

Happy Easter from P1/2!

This last week before the easter holidays has been very busy for P1/2.  In maths, we have worked on subtraction and using a number line to subtract.  We have been working hard to think about our learning intention and to agree the steps to success.  We enjoyed working at our new working wall table and commenting and discussing on our learning, focussing on what we are good at and our next steps in learning.  To help us we have drawn our own number lines and used these to help us work out subtraction sums.

We have trialled some relaxation activities this week to help us focus better.  We have enjoyed listening carefully and following the instructions.

We were very lucky again to have Olivia’s gran give up her time to come in and read us stories.  We love having some of our grandparents in the class reading to us and hope that we will have more volunteers next term!  Thank you so much to all our helpers this term.

As we are heading towards the easter holidays we practised our cutting skills to make these cute chicks.  We had to concentrate hard to cut carefully and really impressed Mrs Lloyd!

Happy Easter to everyone!
