Literacy

This week P2 were learning the ‘ue’ phoneme as in blue, true and glue.  They practised spelling different words with ‘ue’ in them using their rainbow boards and magnetic letters.  Pupils also started learning a new set of common words and used a game to practise them.

In talking and listening and writing this week they were expressing their opinion about which was best – ice cream or cake? They had lots of great reasons about why the one they preferred was best, here are some examples.

“I think cake is the best because it doesn’t give you brain freeze!”

“In my opinion cake is best because it doesn’t melt.”

“I think cake is best because it doesn’t fall off your cone and land on the floor.”

“I like ice cream because it cools you down on a hot day.”

Numeracy

This week P2 have been doing some revision of their adding skills.  They have also been sharing groups of objects into quarters.

Learning across the Curriculum:

P2 have been learning about features of their local environment.  They talked about the River Ayr and where it starts and finishes.  On Thursday they went for a walk along the river to look at all the things around about the river.  They found lots of different plants and insects, crops growing in the field and even found some tadpoles in the river.

In health and wellbeing they created a friendship tree. They each wrote what they thought makes a good friend on a leaf.

In PE they practised for sports day.
