This week in numeracy we have continued our topic of time. We have been learning how to read and set time on a digital clock.
We really enjoyed our new time bingo game where we had to match the digital time with the analogue time. We will continue learning more about this next week.
In literacy Miss Boyes read us the poem “If I had Wings” by Pie Corbett. After hearing the poem, we then wrote our own poems where we had to think about what we would do if we had wings or what we would do if we could fly.
However, we had an additional challenge! Miss Boyes asked us to try and use some rhyming words.
We thought of some great rhyming words and we learnt that rhyming words end in the same sounds.
Zuzanna “We have been learning lots of rhyming words and everyone thought of lots of words”.
Cameron- “I like doing the writing because all of the words ended in the same sound.”
Here are two fantastic examples of our poems below…
Miss Boyes was super impressed by our rhyming skills!
In topic this week we took our learning out with school and went on a trip to the Library. This was great fun as we learnt about the job of a librarian which sounds very interesting. The librarian kindly read us a funny story about a kitten named Dewey! The story helped us learn more about the job of a librarian. We really enjoyed this story.
Brooke “I think it was nice when we went to the library because we got to see lots of books.”
Michelle- “I liked it when the librarian read us a story.”
We learn hot to use the maching to check our book out of the library.
After hearing the story we had the chance to go and choose our own books which we have taken back to school. Another trip to the library will hopefully take place soon so that we can return our books… we don’t want to get 21 letters through our P2B door for not giving the books back!
This week we have also learnt about the difference between wants and needs. We now know that we don’t need toys but we do need important things- food, shelter, water, clothing, cleanliness, health, education.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend form Miss Boyes and P2B!
Primary 2, I loved reading your poems! Excellent rhyming words used throughout the poems. It looks like you enjoyed your library visit , perhaps you could take your mums and dads and show them all the things you learned at the library!
