This week in Primary 2 we have been very busy learning lots of new things.
In maths we started looking at measure and tried measuring different objects in our classroom using our hands and feet. We learned that these are non-standard units of measurement, while rulers and metre sticks are standard units of measurement.
We also started our topic on athletes and began by looking at the human body. We got the chance to work together to draw round each others bodies and tried naming some of our body parts including our 5 main organs and some parts of our skeleton.
Finally, we all worked together to compose our own rhythm thinking about how many beats are in a bar and how long we hold each note for. We tried a 4 beat note, a 2 beat note, a 1 beat note and a half beat note and used these to vary our rhythm. Once we had composed our musical score we all got a percussion instrument and tried to play along altogether. It was super fun and I was very impressed with the musical talent in Primary 2.
Have a lovely long weekend and I’ll see you all on Tuesday, Miss McGregor.
