Term 1 in Primary 2a

We started P2a in August and met our new teacher Miss Breslin. She took us on a really exciting bear hunt to find our new class friend. We found him and named him Nathan. Some of us have been really lucky and we have been able to take him home for the weekend. The rest of us are really looking forward to getting the chance to take him home. We wrote to Nathan, making a class book, telling him about ourselves and we also wrote about what Nathan was like.

We also learned about The Gruffalo and drew him. We retold the story in our own words. Miss Breslin was very impressed. We showed good recall skills and were able to notice the rhyming words.

We have been doing addition and subtraction aswell as money in maths. We are working really hard.

For our Caring and Helping Topic, we have been learning about Rights and Responsibilities. We have been finding out about the rights of the child and the UN Conventions of the Right of the Child. We know that to have our rights we also have responsibilities. From this, we made a class charter that shows our rights and our responsibilities in making sure we meet these rights. We have also been learning about helping others, especially pensioners. We have impressed Miss Breslin with how much we know and how keen we are to learn.

After our topic we will be learning about the Sun, Moon and Stars in Science and Harvest in RME. We can't wait to find out what we will learn in these new topics.

We have become part of Co-op teams, working with our group to ensure we complete a jobsuccessfully. We take on roles in these tasks. The roles are - time keeper, materials manager, air traffic controller and encourager. We are going to keep using these roles and become even better at them.
