P3a Stepping Stones

P3a have been having fun practising their times tables with stepping stones.  They made their own paper stones and numbered them.  They can choose which times table they are working on to achieve their own goals.  They are encouraged to challenge themselves by practising going backwards, mixing the stones up in a random order or beating their own time.  Pupils were also asked to make their own set for homework to allow them to have fun with maths at home.

P2A Space Explorers

Over the last few weeks primary 2a have been working hard on our space topic.

We have explored life on the international space station, investigated the planets, stars and moons in our solar system and learnt lots about how astronauts prepare for their journeys into space!
Last week we speculated about aliens… Do they exist? We don’t think so but we decided to make some Play-Doh versions ourselves have a look!

We also collected lots of recycling materials to create our very own rockets. We worked together in small teams to build the best rocket we could.

Make sure to take a look at our fabulous space pictures made with paper cuttings and oil pastels outside our classroom!

P2a People Who Help Us

P2A are beginning their new topic and are very excited!

We have started to learn about “People who Help Us”. We have lots of dressing up clothes, are planning lots of excellent drama activities and are looking forward to learning more about what to do in a an emergency.

As well as this we are also planning to look at other people who help us every day as part of their jobs. The children are coming up with new ideas every day – make sure to ask them all about it.
