Primary 2 were very excited to meet the Bee bots!!

Bee bots are programmable floor robots. The children enter instructions to move the bee bot forwards and backwards, right or left.   They have been having fun navigating them from one place to another on the  Isle of Struay as well as around the classroom!!

They have also been introduced to a maths based program called Sumdog.  They have been learning how to log in using their own user names and passwords and have been enjoying playing the different games.

Primary 2 have been busy since returning to school after the Christmas holidays.   They were learning about symmetry and identifying pictures and shapes that were symmetrical.  They made their own symmetrical butterflies.

.

They have also been working on money.  They have been looking at the values of different coins and have been investigating  different ways they can make  certain amounts.   They have been using their skills of counting in 2’s , 5’s and 10’s to count bundles of coins.

We’ve had a busy first week back at school. In Maths, we learned about odd and even numbers through using our smelly socks! We also made patterns using different materials in the classroom then looked at number patterns by counting in 2’s. In Literacy, we sounded out three letter words independently.
