We have been very busy over the last two weeks with a wide range of learning opportunities.
Each week we like to spend some time doing some active spelling to help reinforce our weekly spelling words. We have enjoyed playing a variety of spelling games, such as spelling splat, scrabble as well as a fun spelling board game that helps us to learn different spelling rules.
We’ve been using a protractor in Maths to measure angles. Mrs Matos put tape on the white boards and we worked together with a partner to measure all the angles we could find. Moving on this week, we have been concentrating on number, number sequence and staring to look at balancing equations.
We continue to read our novel, Wonder. The author added a twist to the story and changed the narrator, so that we can see how the story unfolds through another characters eyes. This inspired us to create our own comic. We used the netbooks and a program called, Comic Life. Before using our imaginations, we learned about the main features of a comic and what all the different types of speech bubbles mean. This really helped us to create some really interesting and creative comic strips.
With Christmas quickly approaching we have been spending some time learning about advent and the Christmas story. We had some fun creating our own Christingles . To continue with the Christmas spirit we worked along with P6B to create some nativity hall displays. We made some very festive donkeys and a manger.
We’ve been very busy learning about the Scottish Parliament. We are able to distinguish between a democracy and a dictatorship. We have also learned about devolved and reserved matters.
Last week was Scottish Book week. We spent some time reading Katie Morag to our P2 Pals.
We looking very forward to the Christmas Fayre, we have made some candy cane reindeers and Christmas rubric cubes.
