Halloween

P2 had a Halloween party today.  We played some party games including pass the pumpkin and enjoyed a snack in class.

Literacy

This week we have been answering different types of questions about the stories in our reading books.  P2 also wrote some wonderful descriptions of Halloween pumpkins.  We continued to focus on the ‘ay ‘phoneme.

Numeracy

We have been working on adding and estimating this week. P2 have also been practising their 2 times table.

Learning Across the Curriculum

In science we have been learning about our skeleton and how it helps us to move and protects the organs inside our body. We made some model skeleton.

Literacy

This week P2 have been learning the ‘ay’ phoneme and practising their common words.  For writing, they described a haunted house and used some super adjectives in their descriptions!

Numeracy

P2 have been learning to estimate this week as well as practising  counting in 2s to help them with the 2-times table. They also finished off their odd and even street display.

Learning across the Curriculum

We finished off our topic on forces and learned that magnets have a north and south pole.  We experimented and found that two north or south poles will repel each other but a north and south pole will attract each other.  We also explored iron filings with our magnets and made some magnetic faces.

P2 have been having lots of fun in science this week, exploring magnets and learning about magnetism.  They discovered that not all metals are attracted to magnets and made their autumn leaves fly using magnets. Sometimes the magnets didn’t even have to touch them to make them hover in the air!

Camembear also visited the class to help P2 learn the French words for some items of clothing.

Literacy

This week P2 have been consolidating the phonemes ‘ai’, ‘oy’ and ‘oa’.  They have also been learning the tricky words here, there and were.

Numeracy

We have been looking at number patterns this week. P2 have been counting in twos and exploring odd and even numbers.

Learning Across the Curriculum

In Science P2 have been exploring magnets.  They made predictions about which objects would be attracted to the magnets and then carried out experiments to test if their predictions were correct.

In digital literacy they have been learning the correct names for different parts of a computer and laptop.
