Another fantastic week 2K! It has been a very busy one!

 

Here are some of the things we have been doing.

 

We had great fun at singing with P2M! Ask us which songs we were learning.

 

Phonics

Here are some of us revising our ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ sounds. We had to create the words Miss Keith was saying then pop our hands on our head.

 

Writing 

For writing this week, we continued to look at capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. We had to write 3 facts about ourselves.

 

Next week we will be learning about describing words.

 

Learning Zones

We have really enjoyed our learning zones this week. Many of us have made lots of creations and asked Miss Keith to take pictures for the blog. Look at what great fun we have had.

 

 

How great do our self-portraits look?

 

 

 Targets 

This week we set terrific targets on leaves. 

We created a literacy and numeracy target. Once we achieve the target, the leaves (targets) will fall off the tree and we will set some more.

 

Doesn’t our tree look fantastic? 

I thought I would put an example of the written homework for this week on the blog.

The pupils were delighted that their parents have homework too! Looking forward to reading the handouts. 

What a fantastic first week we have had together! A big well done for all your hard work and for making our new class member feel so welcome. I can tell this is going to be a great year!

 

Learning Zones

We had great fun playing and exploring our new learning zones.

Self-portraits

Have a look at how hard we were working when creating our fabulous self-portraits.

 

Golden rules

This week we listened to a story about one of our golden rules – always being kind and helpful. We then did a circle time discussing examples of our class members being kind and helpful. Lots of the children were keen to share that they were kind and helpful at home too – helping brothers and sisters and emptying the dishwasher! Very impressive! We will be looking at another golden rule next week.

 

Writing 

We were challenged to write about our summer holidays. We had to impress Miss Keith and show her what we remembered about writing. Some of us remembered that we need finger spaces between words and others remembered that sentences need capital letters and the beginning and full stops at the end.

Phonics

This week we have been revising our letters and remembering which way round some of our initial sounds go. Here are some pictures of us remembering ‘sh.’

Unique

We were learning about the word unique through the story of Elmer. We talked about differences and why it is important to be respectful of differences. We then had a great (and very messy) morning using our fine motor skills cutting, sticking and creating our bright and colourful Elmers. We think that they will create a super wall display. 

 

Homework will start next week - it may include a small task for parents too!

 

This week has been fantastic P2K. I wonder what next week has in store…

Welcome back

Welcome back all children and parents of P2K.  I hope everyone has had a fantastic summer and the children are raring to go!

The aim of this blog is to share information and photos so you can see all of the exciting activities we participate in at school.

 

Below is an overview of our timetable for term 1. This will show you the days the children have activities out of the classroom that may require them to bring in resources etc.

 

P2K Timetable

Monday – Assembly, homework due, reading day

Tuesday – Library

Wednesday – P.E. with Miss Macrae, ICT, homework given out

Thursday – Health and with Mrs COX, reading day

Friday – P.E. with Miss Macrae

 

As it is the start of term can you please ensure your child has the following in school:

• A named gym kit
• A named apron or smock for art
• A named ‘rainy day’ job for indoor break and lunches. Cards, a colouring book or something similar works well. All of the above can be left in school.

 

Please feel free to comment on our blog! If you have any questions please put a note in your child’s folder or see me at the end of the day, thank you for your support. Looking forward to working with you all this year.
