It has been another amazing week in Primary 2/3
In maths we are working on our addition skills. We have used lots and lots of different materials to help us add this week. Zuzanna liked the counting beads best and Pawel liked using the 100 squares. Alishba liked using the ten frames to add and Maya liked using the number line to 100. Michelle liked using straws to help her add and she found it helpful to bundle them in to groups of 10. Matthew has loved working on Sumdog because ‘I can answer lots of questions and my maths skills are improving. Carly loved playing Hit the Button to improve her addition skills. You can try this game at home http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
We have all enjoyed Cool to Be Kind Week. We have made posters to share our ideas (Rachel).
We thought about some key questions:
- Why do you think children need rights?
- Why are children’s rights important to you?
- Can you think of any barriers that prevent children from enjoying their rights?
We thought about children’s needs (Chloe) and wrote our answers on post-it notes and stuck them to our class chart. Do visit our class to have a peek at our ideas.
Next we watched a video about a child who had to leave Syria and travel by boat to Greece. We all felt very sad when we learnt this story (Kasia) and decided to take action! Everyone wrote a letter to Amber Rudd, Home Secretary (Matthew), to ask her to change the plight of refugee children. Look out for our letters appearing in our online journals.
We were all very proud of Zuzanna when she got a certificate at assembly for being extra-kind during Cool to be Kind Week.
Have a great weekend!
