This week we were learning about saving money. We know that if you want to buy things you have to have money so it’s important that you save some of your money in the bank. At our independent station we had piggy banks and we had to find different ways of making the total amount. Once we had laid out an amount with the coins we took a photo with the iPads.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We played different games on the netbooks to help us with our learning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The links are below so that we can play our games at home.<\/p>\n

In multiplication we have been learning how to find the missing number in the 2 times table sums.<\/p>\n

Miss Boyes was impressed with our ability to find the missing number quickly using our counting by 2 skills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are our strategies for the calcualtion\u00a0 \u00a02 X _ =14<\/p>\n

Wojciech- \u201cYou could do your doubles sums and I know that
\n7 + 7 = 14 so the answer is 14 because that is 2 sevens.\u201d
\nFilip- \u201cCount by 2\u2019s with your fingers and then when you reach 14 count how many fingers it took you to get to the total number.\u201d
\nPrimary 2 have been using fantastic strategies and they are very good at explaining their strategy to their peers during number talks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In literacy this week we had an interesting message from a mouse. There was a special voice message on the phone.<\/p>\n

The mouse read out a description of a creature which it saw in the magical forest. \u00a0The message was also on paper so that we could read it in our trios.
\nMarcus-\u201cWe had to read the text and highlight all of the adjectives in the text.\u201d
\nLennon-\u201cAfter we highlighted the adjectives we had to use them to draw a picture of the creature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once we drew our pictures we guessed which creature we thought it was. Our pictures looked like a dragon.<\/p>\n

We peer assessed our work by checking that our trios had included all of the adjectives.

We loved dressing up for World Book Day. In class we all chose a book to share with our peers. We shared why we enjoyed reading our books. Everyone spoke clearly and listened very well. We asked questions about the books.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the afternoon we looked at different story book covers and we then designed our own book covers. To successfully design a book cover we had to make sure we included the characters on the cover, the title of the book and make it bright and colourful.
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In writing this week we wrote a book review and we had to include connectives. At the beginning of the lesson we completed our Kung Fu punctuation because as part of our criteria we have to make sure we have our punctuation in the correct place. Our book reviews were fantastic and we all explained why we chose our favourite character and why we chose our favourite part in the story.

We have evaluated our Katie Morag topic this week and we will begin our new topic next week which is very exciting!<\/p>\n

In Health and Wellbeing we have been discussing different emotions and the importance of respecting others emotions. In our groups at our tables we made our very own calming bottles. We used water, glitter and food colouring. We love having them on our tables.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope you all have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 2!<\/p>\n
