This week we did some whole class reading about the Pacific Islands and the Great Barrier Reef. We had a go at answering questions about the text in full sentences.
In Writing we looked at the features of a fact file and decided our Maui fact files needed to have:
- A heading
- Sub headings
- Bullet Points
- Images
We used information we gathered last week to write our fact files. Here are some of our finished Maui fact files:
Did you know… there is a volcano on Maui called Haleakala.
In IDL this week we compared the Scotland flag to the Maui flag. The Maui flag was very intricate so we decided to make the Hawaii flag instead. We noticed that the Hawaii flag has the Union Jack in the corner. We chose to use collage to make the flags, they look fab!
In Maths this week we have been identifying 2D shapes. We learned about pentagons, hexagons and octagons.
We collected twigs from the field and made 2D shape posters to remind ourselves of the properties of each of the shapes.
We are really enjoying sharing our Golden Time with Primary 3, we especially love arts and crafts! Here are some photos from today:
Star of the Week is Scott for his fantastic work on 2D shape. Well done, Scott!
No homework next week due to the shorter week.
Last bit of news… we won Class of the Week! Woo hoo!!
Love P2/3 and Miss Prince x
