We have had a busy week again in P2!<\/p>\n

In maths, we have been learning how to use scales to see what objects were lighter and heavier than each other. It was super tricky because if an item was really heavy it tipped the whole scale! We had to try our best to find a nice balance and record these findings in our workbooks.<\/p>\n

In P.E. we learned how to turn our static long jump into a moving long jump. We worked in teams to practise the new skill and then split into pairs. We gave our partner feedback including their strengths when jumping and how they could improve next time. We had to look out for things including bending our knees, taking off on one foot and landing on two feet. We had so much fun!<\/p>\n

During topic this week, we investigated how the dinosaurs became extinct. After a whole class discussion about the different possibilities, most of us agreed that it was most likely an asteroid that killed them. We took the information we learned and created dramas to show the extinction. Creating the dramas was hard work – it involved us communicating, collaborating and some of us even had the chance to be leaders. We performed each drama for our quality audience to watch and received peer feedback at the end. Miss Borsbey and Mrs Oliphant thought every group was absolutely fantastic!<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, we met our new classmate Jigsaw Jo! Over the next few weeks, she is going to help us learn about the similarities and differences between people. We loved introducing ourselves to Jigsaw Jo and all had a chance to tell her our name and age. After the introductions, we had a discussion about what everyone in the class likes and dislikes. We began to notice that people like and dislike similar things regardless of their gender. With Jigsaw Jo’s help, we paired up and completed a shield writing all of the similarities between us. Some similarities were:<\/p>\n

We both like pizza, we both like chicken, we both have a dog, we both like climbing trees, we both have blonde hair, and we both hate broccoli.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to see what fun activities Jigsaw Jo has for us next week!<\/p>\n
