P2/3 – Request from P2/3

Leave a comment

If possible, could all pupils please bring in an old shirt, t-shirt or polo shirt. It would be preferred if this is bigger than the pupils normal clothing size (e.g. parent/carers old tops). This is to be used for painting in school so should be something that can get messy and can be left in school. We do however have some aprons in school for any pupils who do not have an old top to bring in.

Thank you very much in advance,
Miss Thomson

P2/3 – Look at what we’ve been doing in class

Literacy – Reading

Today Primary 2/3 have been learning to write predictions about their reading books. They used information from the front covers to help them think about what the  book might be about before reading the book and discussing how accurate their predictions were. This was a great talking point about the famous saying ‘never judge a book by its cover’. Have a look below to read some of our predictions.

I think that my book will be fiction. I think the animals will grow food. (Finlay, P2)

I think that my book will be fiction. I think it will be about a boy that sleeps in a tree with his teddy. (Jessica, P2)

I think that my book is going to be non-fiction. I think my book is going to be about animals. (Erik, P2)

I think that my book will be non-fiction. I think my book will be about mummies. I think this book will have facts about mummies. (Eve, P3)

I think that my book will be all about mummies and Egyptians. I think that my book is non-fiction. (Olivia, P3)

HALLOWEEN

Primary 2/3 had lots of fun today for Killieween. Have a look through the photos for a little snapshot of what we got up to.

We completed lots of Halloween activities including Halloween themed JustDance, musical bumps, sharing jokes and even competing in a Mummy competition! Excellent costumes, pumpkins and smiles all round.

Primary 2/3 Learning Update

This week in Primary 2/3 we have been working really hard and lots of the pupils have really challenged themselves in their learning producing some excellent standards of work. See below for a little update about some of the things we have been learning about.

Literacy

In literacy primary 2/3 have been learning about nouns. They worked collaboratively to complete a noun hunt in the classroom and in the playground before attempting their individual tasks. Primary two were able to identify and use nouns for places, people and things. Primary three extended their learning further and learned about proper nouns and common nouns. They learned the rule that proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.

Numeracy

Our focus in numeracy at the moment is number and the four operations. some pupils have been creating calculations for their peers using Numicon and other pupils have been learning about the vertical written method for addition (chimney sums). All pupils have been highly engaged with this and have really impressed me with their enthusiasm and their efforts.
