Primary 1/2

Although this has been a shorter week we have had lots to do and did some fantastic work!

We have been doing lots of structured activities practising our sounds, fine motor skills, counting, number recognition and letter formation. Here are some pictures of our hard work:

We have been practising our writing this week. Primary 2s are working on adding more detail and Primary 1s have started to overwrite after giving me the sentences they wanted to write. Everyone did a fantastic job!

We also did lots of letter and word practice this week, especially in P1 where we started to read and make 2 letter and 3 letter words. Well done everyone!

Have a wonderful long weekend everyone!

 

Another week went by in a flash! Here is what we have been learning this week:

Primary 2s have been busy learning different strategies to add within 20. We were looking at “making a 10 and adding the rest” and used our 10 frame trains for some hands on practice. Well done Primary 2s!

Meanwhile Primary 1s learned all about the number 5. We did lots of number formation activities and counted lots of sets of 5. We enjoyed our workbook tasks too and everyone did a super job!

Primary 1s learned another two sounds this week (i and n) and we started writing simple sentences! What a fantastic job!

Primary 2s also practised some sentence writing using rhyming words. We practised our spelling words using magnetic letters.

We continued looking at our book “The Rainbow Fish” and spent some time discussing our favourite parts of the story. We then drew a picture of it. We also used our amazing drawings of fish from last week to create a Rainbow Fish collage using paint and tissue paper to make the background.

And we did our usual morning activities throughout the week. Here is what we did this morning:

Thank you for working so hard yet again everybody! I can’t wait for next week (a slightly shorter week). Have a lovely weekend!

 

 

We had a lovely Roald Dahl day in school yesterday. We loved all the wonderful costumes and yellow clothes…it made our classroom even more cheery. We had an exciting special Roald Dahl assembly and started reading The Enormous Crocodile!

A big thank you to Harper’s nana who made us amazing Ronald Dahl bookmarks!

 

It has been another busy week in Primary 1/2.

This week we focused on letter and number formation. Primary 1s also had opportunities to work on their fine motor skills by drawing patterns and tracing lines. We had lots of structured play and activities around number formation and everyone made great progress whilst enjoying themselves. On Friday, our P7 buddies helped us with our letter formation in the playground. P2s were challenged to write CVC words.

We have also been busy practising our writing and sounds. Primary 1s have learned two new phonemes (sounds) this week: t and p. Please continue to chat with your child about the sounds they know and reinforce them as often as possible at home. Here are some randomly chosen examples of what we did in our writing lessons this week:

In Art we practised adding detail to our pictures and following instructions by drawing our own rainbow fish. I was so impressed with all of the beautiful drawings and colouring! We will be making Under the Sea pictures with our fish next week.

Finally, here are some examples of some of our play activities:

I hope you have a great weekend and can’t wait to see everyone again on Monday!
