Taking shape in P2!

This week in P2 we have been showing our understanding of the properties of 2D shapes. As part of our activity sheet we had to use different 2D shapes to create an animal. After completing our animal pictures, we used the ipads to record each other discussing the shapes we used. We then watched the recording back in our groups.

At another station we had to guess the shape. We put our hands in the box and had to think about the properties of the shapes. Our peers asked us questions such as “How many sides does it have?” How many corners does it have?”

We wrote acrostic poems this week in writing. Our acrostic poems were jungle themed and we had to write either a word or a sentence across from each letter.

Here are examples from Josephine and Ana.

In topic we have been categorising animal habitats. We completed a venn diagram to show which animals we think live in the jungle and which animals we think live in homes or both. Also this week in topic we have researched facts about the jungle by using the netbooks, smartboard and non-fiction books. We then had a class discussion and Miss Boyes helped us record the information.

We really enjoyed PE this week. Miss Boyes set up the gym hall into 4 different sections. Each section had different types of balls (rugby balls, footballs, basket balls and softballs). We had the opportunity to practise our skills at each station. We practised dribbling, throwing, catching and bouncing.

Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Boyes and P2!
