Hello!

Welcome to Term 2 in P2C!! We truly have had such a busy term and can’t wait to show you all what we have been up to!

Term 2: Overview

We started off Term 2 by looking at toys from the past! We had great fun at separating toys from the past from toys from the present.

We had a great time exploring the history of Mr. Potato Head! We started by looking at how he was created back in 1952 and then how much had changed over time. The best part was when the children got to create their very own versions of Mr. Potato Head from the past!

Just look at their faces! 🙂

We explored toys from the past by making our own toys. We made:

Rag dolls
Robots
Ball and cup
Jack in the box

The children enjoyed the crafts and learning all about how they were made and played with in the past!

The children then took their learning into their own hands by completing a homework task about their favourite toy from the past! I was so proud and impressed with their listening and talking skills!!!

In maths we have been exploring addition and subtraction focusing on different strategies to help us with our learning.

The children enjoy the active side to maths which keep learning fun and engaging!

In literacy we have been continuing our phonemes. P2C have been having lots of fun using active literacy activties to help them learn their new phonemes.

In term 2 we have covered ‘ee’, ‘oo’, ‘ck’, ‘ai’, ‘oy’, ‘oa’ and ‘qu’.

Primary 2 thoroughly enjoyed the lead up to ‘Killieween’ and our Halloween party! The costumes were FABULOUS !

Welcome to blogs.glowscotland.org.uk – East Ayrshire. This is where you will find updates on what we have been up to in P2C. We look forward to showing you how busy we have been.

To finish off our dinosaur topic we had an exciting afternoon investigating poop! The children had to examine 3 different samples of poop to identify whether it was an omnivore, carnivore or herbivore. Just look at their faces! 🙂

As we approach the end of Term 1 in P2C, we’re looking forward to sharing some highlights from our dinosaur topic.

In numeracy we have been learning about place value which has involved:

Sequencing numbers
Missing numbers
Counting in tens
Hundreds, tens and ones
Partitioning

The children have had lots of fun with the active numeracy 🙂

During literacy we started off the term looking at CVC and CVCC words that they would recognise from primary 1.

We have now moved on to our weekly phonemes. P2C have been having lots of fun using the active literacy activties to help them learn their new phonemes. So far we have covered ‘sh’, ‘th’, ‘ch’, ‘wh’, ‘ng’ and ‘ph’.

In expressive arts, the children looked at the artist Roy Lichtenstein. Lichtenstein is known for his bold colours, comic strip aesthetic and the use of Ben-Day dots. We delved into his artistic ways by creating our own pop word art.

WOW is a pupil-led initiative where children self-report how they get to school every day using the interactive WOW Travel Tracker. If they travel sustainably (walk/wheel, cycle or scoot) once a week for a month, they get rewarded with a badge. The children love taking part.
