P2M have had a great week and have really enjoyed learning about technologies as part of ‘technology week’.
Our number concept this week has been ‘odd and even’ numbers. We used lots of socks to help us with this. If we had 3 socks, 2 of them would be paired and there would be one odd sock, which mean that 3 is an odd number.
We played an online game about odd and even numbers. Have a go at this at home:
Katie said: “2 is an even number so 32 is an even number too.”
Alexis said: “1 is an odd number.”
Sophie D said: “3 is an odd number.”
Teegan said: “9 is an odd number so 19 is an odd number too.”
We loved our trip to the apple store on Tuesday.
Jack said his favourite part of the trip was “getting t-shirts.”
Maliha said “I liked getting the wristbands with photos.”
Bartosz said: “I liked throwing the aeroplanes.”
Richard said: “I liked recording the planes flying.”
Have you checked out all of our pictures on facebook?

When we came back from the apple store we continued the technologies theme by looking at internet safety. We learned about how to stay safe on the internet. Ask your child how to stay safe online.
We also completed a food technologies task. As it was pancake day we were given pancakes and we had to choose a tasty topping for the pancakes.
Sophie YM said: “I put chocolate on my pancake, it was really tasty.”
We also learned about what ingredients were needed to make pancakes.
Pawel remembered that you need “eggs and milk to make pancakes.”
Huda said “I put a smiley face on my play-doh pancake.”
We have also began our multiplication topic this week. We have done this by putting objects into different groups.
Sophie R said: “we had to count how many were altogether in the different groups.”
Michael said: “If you have 4 groups of 2 that is the same as 2 groups of 4 because they are switchers.”
Emily said: “I made 6 groups of 5 and there were 30 altogether.”
We have also began a new ‘maths topic’ this week. This topic focuses around money. The first week of this topic we have been working on adding together a range of different prices of objects. We set up a shop to help us with this.
Jack said: “We had to add items together, I bought beans and a book and had to add them. I added 30p and 50p, this was easy because 5+3=8 so 50p+30p+80p.” – Super maths Jack!!
Robbie said: “there was a shopkeeper who had to figure out the sum.”
Have a lovely long weekend and I will see you all on Wednesday.
Miss Meechan
Primary 2 you must be so tired after that busy week! I loved reading all about it. It was great to see your pictures from the pole store trip as you know I was so jealous about you being able to go without me!
I hope you will use the skills you learned there in class across lots of curricular areas!
