It’s been another busy week in P2.  In numeracy we have been using our knowledge of doubles to solve addition and subtraction problems. We have also been developing our knowledge of division and linking this to multiplication. We have been learning how groups of items can be shared equally.

In maths we were developing our understanding of how to work backwards to solve problems.  We also looked at the link between halves and quarters by considering shapes, numbers and food like pizza and chocolate bars.

In Literacy we wrote a report about our trip to the Riverside Museum in Glasgow.  Sebastian worked exceptionally hard and received a special sticker from Mr Mc-Callum-McKay.

This week we have continued to listen to children’s individual talks and have been impressed by the preparation the children have put in to these.  We are looking forward to next week’s talks!

Earlier in the week we enjoyed a super workshop from West Lothian Council Museums . We were transported back in time to a hundred years ago to find out how people lived in the past. We explored household and school objects and had lots of fun playing with some old fashioned toys. Photos to follow soon!

In RME we have been learning about special places of worship and this week learned about the Hindu Mandir.  Next week we will finish learning about special places of worship by looking at the Sikh Gurdwara.
