In P2 it is definitely Cool To Be kind! The children have been learning all about choosing to be respectful this week and I loved all the odd socks!
On Tuesday we had a great trip to the cinema. We watched the film “Flying The Nest”. SPOILER ALERT! It was about a young bird called Ploey who could not fly yet and for a few reasons he missed his chance to migrate south for the winter. So he had to try to survive in wintry conditions and not be caught by the mean bird of prey Shadow! He learned that through building friendships and being kind, as well as having a growth mindset, he could do anything! In the end he was reunited with his friends and family.
We were all so inspired by this story that on Thursday we used the Mighty Writer board to help us recount the story. We tried really hard to use the connective “because” to link our sentences. Thank you to Leon and Kayla who gave us two WOW opening words in our writing; Meanwhile and Just then respectively. The results were super and our star writers this week are Christopher, Hannah S and Chloe, well done.
In numeracy we have continued to learn and apply subtraction skills this week. We created our own calculations and have started to try to work out how we can find a missing number in a calculation. Try these calculations out at home, if you work out an answer you can post a reply.
12 – 7 = 15 – ? = 9 ? – 4 = 8
In PE Mr McCurdy was working on core strength with the children and they were learning about their abdominal muscles. The children all rose to the task well and demonstrated skill and control on the gymnastic equipment. Jiya and Chloe had great spring in their work and Oliver demonstrated super strength and control on the rings. Well done everyone.
What a super week. Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Currie
