Please remember reading books need to be brought to school every day. We aim to read daily in class as well as completing comprehension activities and this can be difficult if not everyone has a book. Reading books are put in quarantine for 72 hours before they can be re used so it is very important that they are returned to school on Thursday. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. 

 

Have a great weekend!

We have had a busy week here in Primary 2! Here are some of the things we have been doing.

Numeracy 

We are continuing to look at numbers before and after a given number. To help us with this, we have been thinking about our daily routines and what order we do things throughout the day.

We have also been working on dot patterns and coming up with strategies for seeing numbers in different ways.

Euan – “The number after 7 is 8.”

Macy May –  “We did dot patterns with a partner.”

IDL

This week, we have read all about grey and white crayon. We created our very own emotion crayons and the results were fantastic! We came up with so many different emotions! We also discovered that white crayon felt rather useless as nobody ever seen him. We had a discussion about how white crayon is very useful and then used paint to investigate what happened to different colours when we added white to them.

Jordon – “We mixed white and blue to make light blue.”

Vrishti – “White and red makes light pink.”

Writing

We have started to look at descriptive writing. This week, we discussed the “describing bubble” and how this will help us in our writing. We had a think about all of the different describing words relating to colour, shape, size, number and doing words.

Archie P – “We drew doing words like jumping.”

Louie – “Eating is a doing word.”

Summer – “I know pink is a colour word.”

Max – “Five is a number word.”

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
