What a fantastic week it has been in Primary 2/3!
In Science we investigated our sense of sight and learned that we see things upside down. We found out that our brains puts it the right way round for us! We explored how blind people can cross the road and use braille without sight. We also investigated our sense of taste and found out where our taste buds are then tried lots of different tastes – sweet, salty, sour and bitter.
In Literacy we had fun celebrating National Poetry Day and listened to poems, shared poems and read poems.
We wrote about our Most Magical Meal in writing – come and have a look at our writing jotters and read our wonderful stories. We all loved reading the work of our Star Writers and sharing our stories with our talk partners.
Everyone loved visiting the library on Tuesday and choosing books to take back to the classroom.
In spelling, Primary 2 have been learning the ea pattern and Primary 3 have continued to work on their key words. We all loved reading our new Word Boost Book, Beaten by a Balloon, then learning and using some fabulous new words – glance, bound, hideous, barrier, powerful and promptly.
In Numeracy we have been adding, sequencing and ordering numbers as well as improving our number strategies in Number Talks.
We’re all looking forward to welcoming you to our class next Friday for Stay, Play and Learn. All the children have also been asked to bring a bear and a favourite book/ story/ comic to school next Friday too for BEAR (Be Excited About Reading) as we continue to build our reading culture in P2/3.
Have a wonderful weekend.
