In primary 2 we \u00a0wrote fantastic news reports this week. Miss Boyes told us about a new car which is being invented. After hearing about the new car we had to write a news report about our own car which we had invented. We all thought of super cool ideas for our own car inventions. We had to describe the car and what it would be able to do. It was very important that we remembered our punctuation and finger spaces.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our fantastic news reports.

Previously we refreshed our understanding of \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d, following on from this we have now shown our understanding of the word \u201cbetween\u201d. We completed the fun \u201cPark the Pods\u201d game which we love but this time Hutch the Alien asked us to park the pods between two different numbers. Follow the link below to play the game at home.

On Wednesday it was International Day of Peace. In class we have been learning the meaning behind the word peace.
\nWe discussed times when we have felt at peace and the importance of having peace in the world among the people. We completed a picture to reflect what we learnt and we included a dove as we thought this was a special symbol of peace.<\/p>\n

In PE we have been practising our throwing and catching skills by throwing and catching bean bags and balls within our small groups. After practising throwing and catching to one another we then practised our aiming skills. We took turns of throwing the bean bags and balls into the hoops. We discussed what type of throw we used, the size of the hoops and also the object which we were throwing to find out if this impacted on whether or not we hit the target.
