We have been working on counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s. 

⚖️ Topic- Balancing weights ⚖️

We worked in groups to find out how many cubes were the same weight as different classroom objects. We knew when the scaled balanced we had found the answer. 

🌟 Problem Solving- Estimation 🌟

We have been working on our estimation skills this week in our problem solving. 
We completed different activities: 

🌟We estimated how many finger prints would fill our snowman’s body and then filled him in with paint to find the answer. 
🌟 We estimated how many cubes high different objects in our classroom and tested to find the answer.

🌟 We estimated how many items were in different jars and baskets and then counted the objects to find the answer.

We counted the cars in the Church car park and made a tally chart in class to show the number of cars of each colour that we found. 

⭐️ Practical Subtraction 

We have been focusing on subtraction in our numeracy lessons. This week we have been using number frames, peg boards and Lego to help us answer subtraction questions.

📊 Playground Bar Chart 📊

We made a human bar chart in the playground! We first made a chart to show the eye colours of the pupils in our class and then created one to show our favourite colours. Mrs Cassidy asked us questions based on our place in the bar chart and what each line represented. 

🔥 Mental Maths Challenge 🔥

We had a mental maths challenge this week as part of our work for Maths Week Ireland. We completed against each other to answer addition calculations as fast as possible. Seth came out on top as our mental maths champion after a fantastic display of speedy calculations in his head. Well done Seth!

✨ Ordinal Number ✨

This week in our problem solving lessons we have been working on ordinal numbers.
⚡️We ran races during PE and labelled ourselves from 1st to 20th.

⚡️We ordered toys from 1st to 10th 

⚡️ We played a game outside where we ran about and then had to line up in order of the card we had.

We made number sentences using magnetic letters!

👻 Spooky Symmetry 🎃

We had a go this week at creating symmetrical pictures using paint, some of us chose spooky characters like ghosts and pumpkins to get into the Halloween spirit. We also had some beautiful butterfly pictures!
We are continuing to work on symmetry in the next few weeks in our numeracy topic lessons!

🟣 🟪 2d Shapes 🟪 🟣

We have been working on recognising 2d shapes in our numeracy topic lessons. Using pipe cleaners we constructed various 2d shapes and matched them to our shapes in the classroom. We also added post its with the names of the shapes and wrote the number of sides each shape had. After we used our LCD Sketchpads to draw each shape and label it with the correct name and number of sides.

We have been developing our ICT skills this week by playing an addition game on the laptops. We had to splat the correct fruit that had the answer to our sum.

🟡We completed colour and shape patterns in chalk in the playground.

🟣We completed patterns with blocks and materials in the garden play area. 
🟡We completed patterns with Lego.

💙 We are revising our numeracy skills 💙

This week we worked on the numeracy skills we learned in P2. We are going to be focusing on number recognition, addition, subtraction and 2d shapes in the coming weeks so Mrs Cassidy gave us a taste of all the fun activities we will be doing in September!
