World Cup

To close our topic work we are linking it to the world cup. Each group has chosen a team and made a flag and a football strip for their team. The teams are going to design healthy meals and some exercises and we will do the workouts in our teams next week.

Fingers Feel

The Ladybirds and Bumblebees worked with Mrs Linklater to learn a poem to perform. The classes did a great job of performing it in assembly and the audience enjoyed it so much they asked to hear it again! Here is a recording we made afterwards.

'What can your fingers see for you?

Whether a surface feels old or new.

Is it bumpy, lumpy

slippery, slick

prickly, scratchy 

hard as brick

spongy, rough

softer than dough.

Touch it,

see if your fingers know.'

Smelling experiment

 We worked in a pair with a partner from the ladybirds to use our smelling sense. There were 5 different smells and there were some really good guesses about what each one was. The one that nobody guessed was mustard. It was important to quietly discuss with our partner our guesses so that other pairs did not hear!

4 in a row

We are having some revision weeks in maths so there will be no more maths homework in P2 bumblebees. We played a game of connect 4 to practise counting up money. The aim was to put 4 counters on 4 pictures of coins and add up the total. If you added it up correctly your counters stayed on the board. The winner was the person with the most counters.

 

Senses walk

We went down to the maze to do a senses walk. We found lots of lovely things including a bird's nest. We will use what we have found to write senses poems next week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tiling patterns

We have been fitting 2D shapes together to make tiling patterns. We understand that for shapes to tile together there must not be any gaps between shapes. We have worked hard to  make sure there are no gaps in our patterns by seeing which shapes fit together.

Keeping healthy

We have been learning about what keeps us healthy and the importance of washing our hands to keep germs away.

First of all one person started with their hands covered in glitter; the glitter represented germs. That person shook hands with others and they shook hands with more people and so on. We understand how easily germs can be passed if we do not take care to wash our hands properly.

We then washed our hands following a set of instructions.

Turn on the warm tap and rinse your hands

Use soap and wash palm to palm

Between fingers

Thumbs

Back of hands

Fingertips on palms

Rinse off the soap

Turn off the tap

Shake off as much water as you can

Dry your hands

We are making posters to put up at the sinks to remind people to wash their hands properly.
