Good morning,

It’s been another busy week in P2 with the pupils settling in well to the routines and enjoying working with their friends again.

This week we had our first Thinking Time Session where the children work in mixed year groups in their house colours offering a great opportunity to discuss and learn about the school community on a variety of topics. Wednesday also saw our first WOW session which the children all thoroughly enjoyed and the bonus this week was,  we were lucky to have some fabulous weather for this event.

In literacy, we have been working to develop some common words in fun and interactive ways using sand, dough and dabbers to name a few. We are also currently revising the initial sounds s,a,t,p,i,n. In addition we have been looking at our new reading scheme Rising Stars.

In maths, we have been doing some secret counting to reveal the even numbers to 20. Counting in 5s and 10s to 100 and looking at the number of the day. As yesterday was the beginning of a new month this gave us the opportunity to explore the seasons and the months of the year. We will be doing lots more work on this in the months to come.

For health and wellbeing, we are continuing to look at SHANARRI and this week we had a focus on friendship, the importance of kindness and supporting one another  with a view to developing our Classroom Charter.

The children are all working hard and developing friendships which in turn, helps them be highly supportive of one another in class.

The lovely weather this week allowed us to go outside with Primary 1 yesterday afternoon and the children enjoyed playing together and had lots of fun with hoops and balls.

Have a lovely weekend and thank for your support.

Mrs Carey
