Literacy

In spelling, our new phoneme this week is i_e.   We have been learning about ‘magic e’  at the end of words and how it changes the sound that ‘i’ makes in words like five, fire and bike.

For our writing, we have been creating a new character for our narrative writing and we will develop our stories about them over the rest of the term.

Numeracy

We have been learning about estimating and using this to estimate the number of items without counting them and also to estimate where numbers would go on a blank number line.  P2 continue to practise multiplication with a focus on the 5 times table.

Learning across the Curriculum

On Thursday it was World Book Day.  We all took time to read books in class and visited the library with P7.  We read the book ‘The Cupcake Fairy’ in class and then designed our own cupcakes.
