Another busy week in primary 2! We have been working hard with our Read Write Count bags, writing great big stories and learning about how minibeasts are adapted to their environment.
In PE we have been learning about attacking and defending, skills that will help in lots of team sports, and today we practiced marking. We had to stop a partner from getting into a hoop matching the colour of their ribbon, without touching them. We had a lot of fun!
In number this week we learned about finding numbers halfway between (eg. what is halfway between 46 and 50) using a numberline and we loved maths this week. We have been learning about weight and measuring during the balance scales. Lots of children chose to extend this learning in our play zone, and continued to experiment with weights and the balance scale.
Finally, our literacy this week has focussed on spelling common words – words we can’t sound out and read. Words we have been practicing include:
so
every
very
two
would
should
could
