I hope everyone had a great Easter holiday and didn’t eat too much chocolate!

Literacy

This week P2 were learning the e_e phoneme as in these, here and even.  They explored how magic e changes the sound of ‘e’ in different words.

We practised our common words and for handwriting focussed on forming the letter k correctly.

The class also came up with ideas for their next ‘Big Talk’ topic.  They had a vote decide between my favourite place, toy or film.  My favourite toy won convincingly.

Numeracy

In numeracy we began learning about fractions.  We looked at how to half an object and discussed how a half is two equal pieces. As we are learning about halves we also revised our two times table, as it will be useful next week when we start to work on finding half of a quantity.

Learning across the Curriculum:

P2 enjoyed their walk on Thursday. It was a beautiful day and we went to the ball cage and played games with balls and hula hoops.

We also started our entries for the art competition at Catrine Show.  The theme is ‘on the farm’ and we drew pictures of tractors and trailers.
