Primary 2 have been busy across the curriculum this week. We have been exploring shapes for mathematics and finding numbers that come before, after and in between up to 100. We watched The Lorax film and thought about things that were similar and different to the novel.

Some pupil highlights are below:

Scott – I loved playing in our play corner. I made train tracks really long and they were rectangles and triangles. We learned about shapes in maths.

Anna – We watched The Lorax. It was fun.

Freya – We got to bring our teddies to the movie and have some snacks.

Cordelle – We had to make a colourful ticket to get into the cinema in our class for the movie.

Michelle – We did writing about our book called ‘Who’s at the Door’.

Paul – We got to try our big play area with magnetic sand. I made loads of tools with it.

Lucy – We have free writing Friday jotters. I wrote about my little sister’s birthday today.

Roma – We made our brains in growth mindset and we learned to not give up and keep trying. A yucky brain means you’re not working hard and a colourful brain means you work really hard.

Joshua – Our Truffula Trees we made are now up on our window.
