Maths Week Scotland

We joined 124 schools across Scotland this afternoon for half an hour to hear the story 'Daphne Draws Data' by the American author Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic.

We were exploring counting in 2s, tally marks and comparing sizes.

I can count in 2s! :)

I challenged myself to count in 2s beyond 20! C

I know how to write tally marks now. O

I can draw Daphne from the story. C and A

I can count in 2's all the way to 50. D

Parents/Carers Numeracy and Mathematics Morning in P2.1

It was wonderful to have the parents/carers to visit our Primary 2 classroom and take part in our Numeracy Play Provocations.

In one morning it was clear to see:-

Communication , Collaboration, Children Leading the Learning

Adapting, showing Curiosity, Creativity and Initiative.

Our Community - Library Trip

Thank you June for reminding us about all the wonderful people in our community.

H- "It helps with our reading going to the library"

Ayrton was 4 when he got his first go-kart.

Health and Wellbeing/ Drama

You can tell a lot by the look on someone's face! We used mime in drama to mirror different emotions!

"I was showing a serious face" J

"I showed a bored face and C copied."

We also played an imaginative game to guess the emotion.

Sitting in a circle, a special box was passed round. When the music played the person holding the box had to open it, look in and act an emotion for the rest of the class to guess.

Primary 2 Repeated Patterns

Through our play provocations in Numeracy and Mathematics, we have had the opportunity to explore and discover our creativity, creating and devising patterns through a range of media and digital technologies.

Natural patterns, 2D shape patterns and Tiling patterns using the Cuisenaire Rods.

"The patterns were easy at first, but they get harder as you move levels" C

Focused on achieving the success criteria.

" I used different coloured squares to create my patterned snake. Green, Orange and Yellow" J

"I want to dab the blue circles first, then I will dab the yellow ones. That is a easy way to make my pattern" D

"You have to look and match the pattern colours. C
