In primary 2 we wrote fantastic news reports this week. Miss Boyes told us about a new car which is being invented. After hearing about the new car we had to write a news report about our own car which we had invented. We all thought of super cool ideas for our own car inventions. We had to describe the car and what it would be able to do. It was very important that we remembered our punctuation and finger spaces.
Here are some of our fantastic news reports.
Previously we refreshed our understanding of “before” and “after”, following on from this we have now shown our understanding of the word “between”. We completed the fun “Park the Pods” game which we love but this time Hutch the Alien asked us to park the pods between two different numbers. Follow the link below to play the game at home.

We have also been practising how to count back from 100 and 50.
We really like this clip and we have been using it to practise counting back.

On Wednesday it was International Day of Peace. In class we have been learning the meaning behind the word peace.
We discussed times when we have felt at peace and the importance of having peace in the world among the people. We completed a picture to reflect what we learnt and we included a dove as we thought this was a special symbol of peace.
In PE we have been practising our throwing and catching skills by throwing and catching bean bags and balls within our small groups. After practising throwing and catching to one another we then practised our aiming skills. We took turns of throwing the bean bags and balls into the hoops. We discussed what type of throw we used, the size of the hoops and also the object which we were throwing to find out if this impacted on whether or not we hit the target.
Finding our inner zen through yoga this week we have been showing off our different yoga poses. These fun yoga activities can also been done at home.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend from
Miss Boyes and Primary 2!
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe what you’ve squeezed in to three days! Your writing looks fantastic, I must pop in next week and read some of this! It’s great like primary 1 you were using some yoga to remain calm and relaxed for your day ahead! Miss Smyth 😀
