Week 2 - 28/8/09

We did some more times tables this week. We think the 2x and 10x table are easy but the 5x table is harder. We did some work with 2D shape in maths too, and we really enjoyed it. We made patterns from some of the shapes. Mrs MacNab finally remembered to take photos of us enjoying practising our times tables by playing different games. P4 got a new best time with the orange loop cards.

We wrote about our favourite places in Orkney. It was interesting to find out where other people's favourite places were. Drama was fun too - we did a lot of mime, and we had to pretend that a tub was something else and mime what it was and everyone else had to guess. The tub became a football, TV and even a vinegar bomb!

We are enjoying our Holiday Orkney topic. We looked at some maps in the atlas and did some work on directions. We thought directions were pretty tricky, especially when some people forgot which was right and which was left. We're going to be doing more work on that next week.
