This week we have been recognising the difference between O’clock and Half Past on an analogue clock.
Marcus- “We know that when it’s half past the big hand points to the 6. When it is O’clock the big hand points to the 12.”
At our independent station we used the half past clock face fans. One person had to call out a time and we had to show the correct clock face.
To evaluate our understanding we went outdoors and used the playground as a clock. Miss Boyes called out different times and we had to record them correctly.
We really enjoyed showing what we know outdoors in the sunshine.
We have been practising our letter-join this week in class and Miss Boyes is seeing an improvement in our letter formation.
In writing this week, we have been learning how to write a description for a setting using our 5 senses.
Ryan “We know that the 5 senses are to see, smell, hear, touch and taste.”
We wrote a description for the Fairy land setting.
Here are some examples:
Lilly- “I can hear the giant roaring and stamping.”
Ana- “I can hear a cackling witch on a jaggy broomstick.”
Ahmad-“I can smell yummy fruit and chocolate cake.”
Vanessa-“I can hear a bird cheeping.”
Alice- “I saw a furry, soft bear.”
In art we have finished off our symmetrical butterflies, they look beautiful and we added glitter to them.
It’s been lovely and sunny this week, we have enjoyed completing the daily mile in the sun!
In class we have been busy practising for our assembly. We have been singing our Goldilocks and the Three Bears song.
We are super excited for you to come to our assembly. It is on Friday the 12th of May at 11am. Remember you are welcome to come back to our classroom to complete fun fairyland activities. We can’t wait to see you all.
We hope that you have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 2!
