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!

Authors Live - Steve Backshall

We had another Authors Live session, this time with Steve Backshall. A few of the primary twos came dressed as him for our Explorer Day so it was a nice follow up to that. Some of what he spoke about was quite tricky to follow but we did enjoy hearing about his favourite animals and his favourite countries.

Tongue Twisters

With Mrs Linklater we did some tongue twisters as a warm up to learning a poem to perform. It was hard work to get all the sounds out without getting muddled but everyone worked hard to say them slowly and then build up to say them more quickly.

We are learning a senses poem in parts so all being well there will be a video to follow!

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brush, brush, brush your teeth

We enjoyed a visit from Karyn Tait today who reminded us about how to look after our teeth. She brought Harry with her to demonstrate. We got to practise on Harry's friends, remembering to brush gently and in circles.

 

 

 

 

 

She then showed us a plate of sugary foods that it is best to eat at mealtimes if we are going to have them. She showed us a plate of healthy foods that are good to have as snacks. We got a shock when she showed us the number of teaspoons of sugar in some of our favourite treats!

We all went home with smiles on our faces!
