Good Afternoon,

What a fabulous week we have had in Primary 2!

There has been lots of learning and lots of fun.

We continued with our topic, ‘Under the Sea’.  The children researched and wrote about Octopus this week.  We could not believe the standard of the writing they produced, it was amazing!  Today, we started to learn about pollution in our oceans and thought about what we can do to help reduce plastic pollution.  The children were very passionate about this and we will continue to learn about it next week.

On Thursday, Destination Judo came into to school to give the children a taster session.  All of the children took part with enthusiasm and their behaviour and attitude was excellent.

In Maths, we learned about ordinal numbers at the beginning of the week and measure at the end of the week.  We used a metre stick to decide if things were longer or shorter than a metre and recorded it on our worksheet.

Highlights of the Week:

Aarav – I liked learning about and making an Octopus.

Alexander – I enjoyed learning about plastic pollution in our oceans.  I am going to try to help make the ocean clean.

Summer Rose – I loved watching Mrs Carlisle doing Irish dancing and teaching us to do it too.

Lillian – I liked learning about Octopus, especially that they have 3 hearts and 9 brains.

Cameron – I liked measuring in Maths.  We had to see if things were longer or shorter than 1 metre.
