Literacy

This week P2 have been learning the ‘oi’ phoneme as in oil, boil and toilet.  We have also been practising our common words.  Our new common words this week were walk and want.

In writing we have been using the Mr Men books as inspiration to create our own characters which we will using in the coming weeks to write a story about.  They created some fantastic characters including Mrs Hug, Mr Smart, Mrs Chocolate and Miss Princess.

Katie Morag’s cousin Rona has also been helping P2 to compare things and join sentences using the word ‘but’.

Numeracy

P2 have been playing lots of multiplication games this week, writing multiplication calculations and finding equal groups.

We have also been learning about 3D shapes including spheres, cylinders, cubes, cuboids and cones.  They enjoyed sorting 3D shapes, building a castle with some of the 3D shapes and then writing down how many of each shape they had used.

     

Learning Across the Curriculum

In PE the pupils have been learning to play hockey.  This week they learned how to do a push pass and practised this using lots of different games.

For our Katie Morag topic P2 have been  learning about the Isle of Coll.  After exploring Coll using Google Maps last week, this week we compared the features they had found with Catrine, to find which things were the same and which were different.
