Primary 2 Wednesday 2nd December Teeth and Healthy Eating
Our topic this term has been about teeth and healthy eating. The children have been exploring the sugar content of a variety of foods. At home choose some items from your food cupboard/fridge and put the items in order from least amount to largest amount of sugar. Do this without checking the labels and then look and see if you were correct.
Were you surprised by any of the items.
Below is an activity to test your knowledge of teeth and healthy eating.

Wednesday 2nd December
Literacy
Remember to revise your tricky words and phoneme every day.
In class we have been exploring alliteration. This is when a sound is repeated. For example
She sells sea shells on the sea shore.
At home choose at least five objects and use alliteration to describe them. For example, a shoe, shiny shoe.
Then try some tongue twisters. Who can say them the best? Can you and your family come up with your own tongue twisters?
- I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!
- Peter Piper. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Good morning boys and girls! I hope you all have a lovely Wednesday. Today’s tasks are listed below.
Literacy
Today is partner spelling day. Ask an adult to write the spelling words (go & got) on a piece of paper. They will read them to you and you will write them 3 times using the correct formations. When you have finished and checked your words, swap over so that you are now the reader and checker. Practice your sentences from Monday and Tuesday in the same way.

Click on the link above and watch the new sound ‘w.’ Trace the sound in the air, on the carpet, on your arm etc. You are very good in class at thinking of where to write the sound! Practice writing ‘w’ on paper.
Have a go at reading the words below then circle the ‘w’ sound in each one. Look for a ‘w’ at the beginning, middle or end of the words.

Hello boys and girls,
We have had a very naughty visitor this morning who has been up to no good. He has stolen some chocolate and has been stuffing his face all morning!! What do you think this cheeky elf is called?
What would you like our cheeky class elf to be called? Send me your ideas because Mr Stewart would love to choose his favourite.
I wonder what mischief he will get up to tomorrow!!
