This week we have been identifying 3D shapes. One of our activities involved us matching the picture of the 3D shape to the name. We also went on a 3D shape hunt around school and we used the ipads to record our findings.
In numeracy we have been learning mathematical language. When learning the language of before and after we worked in small groups to identify the correct number. We had numbers cards laid out in order and each person took a turn at being the teacher. The teacher called out
“Find the number before 25?”
We had to used the hand swatters to identify the number.
We have also been learning the language for greater than and less than. We have learnt that the mouth of the crocodile eats the big number and we have been trying to read the mathematical sentences. We have been drawing our symbols to show our understanding. Here you can see us laying out our number cards in the correct place.
We have been counting to 100 in class and we love this big number song.
At the beginning of the week we had been identifying rhyming words from a poem. We know that the words have the same sound at the end. To show our understanding we highlighted the rhyming words.
In RE we have been learning all about St. Ninian of Galloway. We know that St. Ninian used to visit a cave near Whithorn where he came to pray. We drew our own St. Ninian’s badges as we know St. Ninian is the Patron of our school.
During the month of September we will be learning about safety. This week we went on a visit to the school kitchen to hear about how the kitchen staff stay safe. We learnt lots of important rules about how to stay safe in the kitchen and we will be very aware of any hazards in the future.
Our new topic is “Transport”. We have created a topic plan so that Miss Boyes knows what we would like to learn about. We are super excited to learn about transport throughout time.
In art with Mrs Thomson we have been creating penny farthing pictures by using the technique of printing.
In PE we have continued with our stations to practise our skills with the basketballs, rugby balls and footballs. However we have changed one of our stations this week to a skipping station. We were very enthusiastic about this and loved skipping with the ropes and the hula hoops.
We would like to introduce Paolo our class Parrot. Paolo likes to check that we have learnt lots at the end of our lessons and he encourages us to reflect by using his plenary wheel. We loved spinning the button!
Have a lovely long weekend!
From Miss Boyes and P2.
