Wednesday 3rd December

Literacy

Good morning everyone!

Remember to keep looking over your tricky words and phoneme.

On a Thursday, we normally write in our taught writing jotter. We have been focusing on using time words in our writing.

  • o’clock
  • half past
  • today/yesterday/tomorrow
  • morning/afternoon/evening

For today I would like you imagine you have gone into a time-travelling machine and ended up in the past – or perhaps, future.

Remember to talk about

  • What you see?
  • What does the place look like?
  • Whom do you meet?
  • What do they look like?
  • What do they eat and drink?

Remember to read your story, does it make sense? What about your handwriting? Do you have finger spaces? Have you made sure your letters are the correct size?

I can’t wait to read all your stories.

Primary 2 Wednesday 2nd December Teeth and Healthy Eating

Leave a comment

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.
