P2B weekly news!

In class this week we have been learning how to read a calendar. We had to find out different information from the calendar. Why not work together at home with the children and find out the answer to the questions below?
“What day of the week is the 28th of May?”
“What is the third Sunday in May?”
Can you find out what day Father’s day is on your calendar?

Orla- “We played an exciting calendar game.”

Hasan- “We had to find the correct date on the calendar”.
Zuzanna- “We liked working in carousel groups to play our games on the netbooks and smart board.”

In Primary 2B we really love the story book “When the Dragons came” by Naomi Kefford and Lynne Moore. Why not listen to the story together online. https://audioboom.com/boos/887854-when-the-dragons-came-by-naomi-kefford-lynne-moore
Since we love the book so much we used it as a stimulus to write our own imaginative stories about when the dragon came to our own town. Our Learning intention was: “I can use connectives in my writing.”
Here are some fantastic examples of how the children used connectives in their writing.

Andrew “In my story when the Dragons came to town they ate all of the food because they were so hungry.”
Brooke “I got to the park and saw the dragons so I got into the car and drove away”. Kasia “I ran to the town but the Dragon stopped me”.

In art this week we have been learning how to make a mosaic. We now know that a mosaic is lots of small piece of paper, stone or glass that is placed together to make one big picture. We began to make mosaics for different characters for our people who help us topic.

On Friday we went on a visit to Primary 2M. On our visit we met two very special guinea pigs called Jinky and Joey. We loved meeting the Guinea pigs and watching their tricks. As part of our topic we wanted to learn about vets. We know that vets look after lots of animals. We learnt how to care for the guinea pigs and that if the are sick we should take them to a veterinary centre.

Hope your all having a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 2B!
