Numeracy Primary 2 Monday 30th November

The children have been learning about time. The focus has been on o’clock and half past. Last week the focus moved to digital time. Many children were able to show o’clock and half past digitally.

We have been discussing

  • how many seconds in a minute
  • minutes in an hour
  • days in a week/fortnight/month/year
  • hours in a day
  • the days of the week (names/order)
  • the months of the year (names/order/ how many)
  • Seasons

This week if you are in the larger maths group then your focus is now on using a simple calendar. Please see the image that is attatched to this post. Can you answer the questions about the information that is on the calendar

 

On which day does Jessica go swimming?

Who has a birthday on a Thursday?

What is different about the last hockey training session to the others?]

On what date is Jessica going to the cinema with her friends?

What time does Jessica’s piano lesson begin?

When is Owen’s birthday?

How many hockey training sessions are there before the hockey final?

Primary 2 Numeracy Monday 30th November

For numeracy we have been learning all about time. Our focus has been o’clock and half past. The children have been doing this very well and now the focus is on o’clock and half past in digital time.

If you are in the group of children who have been completing the workbook then the activities on this post are for you to complete.

You could go around your house and find things that have a digital time on them. You could draw pictures of them. If you have catalogues or magazines you could cut out any pictures of clocks that you can find.

Remember we have been discussing

  • how many seconds in a minute
  • minutes in an hour
  • days in a week/fortnight/month/year
  • hours in a day
  • the days of the week (names/order)
  • the months of the year (names/order/ how many)
  • Seasons

Primary 2 Monday 30th November

 

Good morning everyone

I hope you are all doing well today. Our classroom is very quiet today. I am already missing seeing you all today. I will be posting activities on here for you to complete at home for the next few days.

On a Monday morning we begin by changing the jobs in the classroom. Perhaps at home you would like to take responsibility for something in your home this week.

This morning we would usually be completing spelling. At the moment we have two spelling groups.

If you were learning ‘ee’ and ‘ch’ then your new phoneme is ‘oo’ and your tricky words are    by          only.

Below is a list of your phoneme words to try this week.

zoo

mood

fool

spoon

look

stool

cook

If you were  learning ‘ay’ and ‘ea’ previously then your new phoneme is ‘ow’ as in snow. This weeks tricky words are       out       now          new

low

grow

throw

follow

shallow

show

Remember to draw around your tricky words to see the shapes they make. We have been spending a lot of time on our handwriting. Remember to take your time.

You could complete your words on the computer, with bubble writing, play-dough or anything else you may have at home.
