Miss Mallon's Class May News

25th May 2018

Our second last month in Primary 2 has been very busy! 

We've been learning all about Mary because this is her special month. The boys and girls chatted about all of their favourite stories about Mary from the Bible. 

In Literacy we have been exploring poetry. We looked at poems with rhyming words and we became poets writing our own acrostic poems!

In numeracy the boys and girls have been learning all about using money. We encourage you to let your son/daughter explore and recognise 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p coins. The boys and girls can use a variety of coins to make different amounts within 10p. We have been chatting about getting change in a shop. 

Mrs Byrne has started our sessions of "Relaxkids" this is a program aimed at teaching the boys and girls to have good self esteem and to feel really good about themselves. We encourage the children to use lovely words to describe themselves, we are learning breathing techniques and relaxation methods. We are excited for the weeks ahead with Mrs Byrne! 

Our new topic is "Let's get growing" and we started our topic by investigating our woodland area. We were discussing "what else in our world can grow." 

On Friday 25th May we went on our sponsored walk to Heather Park. The sun was shining, the boys and girls walked so well and we had a great day raising money!

Have a look through our photographs to see what we have been up to.
