This week in P2/3 we have been writing recounts about our experiences in the lunch hall. We’ve thought about structuring our recounts to include an orientation, a sequence of events and a personal comment. We’ve thought lots about using past tense verbs and ambitious vocabulary too and were all very proud of our recounts.
In Maths we have used our new rekenreks to make numbers by swooshing the numbers along the number rack. Everyone loved sharing their strategies with partners and with the class. Our work on addition, subtraction and multiplication is continuing and it is lovely to see how the children are using their Number Talks strategies to support their work in Maths.
In Science we have planted cress seeds which are beginning to show signs of sprouting already. We also investigated the seeds of various fruits this week using magnifying glasses. There was great excitement when a tiny shoot appeared in our potato bag today and we can’t wait to see how big it is by Monday! We also developed our Science skills by classifying animals into agreed sets.
Everyone has been delighted to welcome our box of Buddy Bears to Primary 2/3. Thank you to all the kind and talented knitters who have made this possible for us.
Have a lovely weekend.
From Mrs Keegan, Mrs Caskie and P2/3
Thanks for the update. It’s all been about the past tense in our house and trying to use it in stories. Looking forward to the tennis outing next week.
