Another busy week in P2/1.

In Literacy this week we linked our writing to our Under the Sea topic.  P1 wrote an information report on an Octopus and P2 wrote about sharks. Everyone worked extremely hard and produced great pieces of writing.

In Maths and Numeracy we continued looking at money and also looked at data handling and measure.

We were very excited to have a taster Judo lesson this week from Destination Judo and we got to wear the Judo jackets and learn some moves.

This week in topic we learned about jelly fish and octopus.  We produced some amazing art work to add to our display and we completed a step by step of how to draw a jelly fish.  We learned some amazing facts.  We have also started looking at pollution and how it can effect the sea and the creatures that live in it.

Today we celebrated St Patrick’s Day.  We read the story ‘How to Catch a Leprechaun’ and we made traps to try and catch one.  We were so excited when lots of gold chocolate coins appeared outside our classroom and we all got one to take home.  We made leprechaun masks and shamrock wands and we learned about who St. Patrick is and why St Patrick’s Day is celebrated.  Mrs Carlyle taught us some Irish dancing moves and we played put the hat on the leprechaun.

Some of our personal learning highlights:

Mrs Russell ‘I loved reading your Information Report writing this week they were all amazing’.
