Welcome to our new class blog!
The boys and girls are settling in well to their new class. They have been busy learning new routines and making friends. Here is some useful information regarding what the children will be doing this term and items they require to keep in school at all times.
Class Timetable
Monday- Assembly and Singing
Tuesday- Gym
Wednesday- Art
Thursday- Gym
Friday- I.C.T. and Library
Please ensure that your child has the following-
Library
Library books are to be kept at home for a full week and returned every Friday. The children are allowed to have one book out at a time.
Phonics
You will notice that your child has now got a special blue book showing phonics taught. So far we have done ‘s’ and ‘a’. This week we are focusing on ‘t’ and ‘i’. It is useful for you and your child to revise these regularly, for short amounts of time. Ask your child to make the sound and do the action. Then think about words that begin with these sounds. You may also spot them in books read at home.
We are revising sounds covered in Primary 1, with a particular focus on ‘ch’, ‘sh’ and ‘th’. Primary 2 should look and see if they can find these sounds in books and signs.
Topic
Primary 2 are also doing a mini topic in the afternoons and this is based around the theme of, ‘The Gruffalo’. We have looked at rhyming, re-telling the story using puppets and creating our own ‘Terrible Creature’.
Naming Clothes etc….
Please make sure that all items of clothing, water bottles, folders and letters are clearly labelled.
Thank you for reading the blog, hopefully you will find this a useful tool.
