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.
