Our pupils will be having a Yes Day tomorrow to celebrate all of their hard work during my time in P2!

All pupils are allowed to bring in:

1. Oodies (to be brought in bags to be worn in class only)
2. One soft toy or one toy
3. An extra snack

Our P2 pupils have been very busy over the past few weeks!

Literacy 

The pupils have been learning to spell words with the ‘igh’ sound this week. They also wrote some fantastic narrative stories based on their own Mr Men character. They were able to include a detailed character and setting description. They then included a plot with a beginning, middle and end.

Numeracy 

All pupils have been learning to multiply numbers by 2 using a calculator. As well as this, the pupils have been learning to divide numbers by sharing them into equal groups.

Across the Curriculum 

Our pupils created some fantastic pieces of animal art inspired by Henri Rousseau. They also enjoyed their first visit to the park during our community walk!

All pupils have been learning to spell their common words on their common word grids over the past 4 weeks.

I have given all pupils a copy of their current common words to continue to practise spelling them at home. This homework is not compulsory but participating in this homework task will help your child with spelling and writing as they progress into P3 next session.

If you have any further queries or would like to send me a picture of some completed spelling tasks, my email is:

Our P2 pupils have worked extremely hard this week!

Literacy 

The pupils have been learning to spell words with the ‘oi’ sound this week. Additionally, the pupils are learning to spell common and tricky words. We have created personalised grids that will be sent home next week so this can be a focus at home.

Numeracy 

In numeracy, the pupils have been learning to count in 5s and 10s to support them in learning the 5 and 10 times table. They have also explored coins up to £2 as part of our money topic.

Across the Curriculum

Our class have been focusing on team work and the skills required for effective team work. The pupils then engaged in a Lego challenge and put these skills to use! They were able to reflect on what they did well as a team and could identify areas for improvement.

The pupils also loved making their own stone soup recipes during our community walk.
