Hello P2A families!

Here are the learning highlights of the week from the Green and Red Table:

Nathan enjoyed using the ipads to program a Beebot.  We made it travel forwards, backwards, left and right.

Kayla loved using sticks and twigs from the woodlands to build a skeleton as part of our learning about the body.

Isabel liked it when we enjoyed ice pops in the nice sunshine as part of our learning about freezing and melting.

Ben said the best part of his week was completing instructional drawings of farm animals.  The children could choose to take part in 2 out of 4 drawings.  Choices were: a cow, a horse, a pig or a chicken.

Babafola loved our narrative writing lessons.  He made up a story about a lion and a lizard.  It was super!

Joe enjoyed listening to the story ‘Supertatoe’ wearing the superhero masks the class decorated.  If your child wishes to hear this story again, it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIMb5oa370o

Aiden S enjoyed learning the numbers 11-20 in Spanish.  If your child wishes to practise these again, the following link might be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2Z_1voFJJo

John thought continuing to pray a decade of the Rosary during the month of May was something special we did this week.

Chiji loved learning about left and right.  He wore a blindfold while Mrs Devlin called out instructions.  Next week’s math’s homework will be a practical one where all the children will get a turn to play this popular game.

David S liked problem solving with Mrs Brand.

David K liked the game where each child had to make as many sums as they could using only the digits displayed on the Smartboard.  Congratulations to Isabel who made the most sums!  She found 13!  We now know that 4 sums can be made using the same digits i.e. 6+4=10, 4+6=10, 10-6=4, 10-4=6.

Julia loved PE this week where she improved her balancing skills using an egg and spoon.

Zosia really enjoyed our lesson about freezing and melting.  We conducted an experiment were 6 ice cubes started to melt at the same time, only they had 6 different ingredients added to them.  We had to predict which ice cube would melt the fastest.  Check out the photos below to see what each of these 6 things were and what our predictions were.  Well done to those who guessed that salt would melt the ice fastest!

My highlight has to have been the fantastic teamwork that created our skeletons from twigs.  Well done P2A!

Congratulations to our Hot Chocolate award winner, Rebekah and to our Reading Champion, Aiden G!
