It has been another busy week in Primary 2/3 with lots of exciting learning experiences.
On Tuesday we visited the library and chose lots of books to borrow. The librarian read us a story and told us all about the different types of books including fiction and nonfiction, hardbacks and paperbacks.
On Wednesday we had a special visit from James’ and Harry’s mum who came to tell us all about her trip to Egypt. She showed us lots of interesting photographs and we enjoyed asking questions. We got lots of great ideas to develop our learning for our Ancient Egyptians topic.
Another highlight on Wednesday was our visit from NYCOS. We had great fun singing and playing musical games with Jackie from NYCOS.
Everyone enjoyed our literacy focus this week, the story of ‘The Snail and the Whale’. In writing we told the story ourselves and tried to use some interesting openers to start our sentences. Mrs Howley and Mrs Keegan were very impressed with our writing. Next week’s literacy focus is the story of Prince Cinders.
Our focus in numeracy has been subtraction and we enjoyed playing subtraction games with dice, with cards and on the smart board.
Our Primary 3 children have been busy preparing for our 40th Birthday Show – there’s lots of talent in our class!
Thanks for reading our news!
