In our maths jotters we have been writing the 2 times table. We have also continued to practise counting in twos but with higher numbers. At our independent station we completed a cut and stick activity or a dot to dot activity.
We have also been singing along with the counting by 5 song.
This week we have been learning all about germs. In class we thought about all of the different places that you would find germs and money was one of our answers. On Monday we completed an experiment using salt, vinegar, 1ps and 2p coins.
Ana-“This experiment took most of the copper from the coins and they changed colour.”
We love learning through completing experiments.
We followed on from this by learning how germs spread.
We completed another experiment with glitter.
Lilly- “3 children put soap on their hands and then the first child put glitter on their hands. After this they shook hands with Elenta and she then shook hands with Zoe.”
This allowed us to see how the glitter (germs) passed on from one hand to another hand.
This made us realise just how important it is to wash your hands. We watched this clip which told us when to wash your hands to stop germs from spreading.
Wojciech- “We made our own superhero that helps you wash your hands.” Our superhero had a super power which helped encourage people to wash their hands.
To further our understanding we completed a short read task.
Angelina- On Tuesday “we had to order picture cards for how to wash your hands.”
Ana- “First you put soap on your hands.”
Ryan- “Then you put the tap on.”
Julia-“Next you rub your hands together under the tap.”
Marcus-“
After you rub your hands under the tap you make sure that the soap is off and then you dry your hands.”
In writing this week we wrote instructions for how to wash your hands. Miss Boyes showed us step by step how to wash our hands at the sink. After this we had to write our own instructions, to be successful we had to use Capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and check that our writing made sense.
In PE this week we reflected on all of the games which we have learned so far. After our reflection we became creators and used the equipment to create our own game.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 2!
