August with Mrs Brown ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒŸ

Welcome back everyone. Itโ€™s so lovely to see you already working so hard in Primary 2! ๐ŸŒŸ

We have been learning lots about 2D shapes:
Robert โ€˜2D shapes are flat.โ€™

Alice โ€˜A circle has 1 edge and 0 vertices.โ€™

Arlo โ€˜A rhombus has 4 vertices and 4 edges.โ€™

We went on a 2D shape hunt outside. We looked for circles, squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons.

We have been learning about repeating patterns. I thought your patterns were fantastic Primary 2.

In Numeracy we have also been revising days of the week, months of the year, seasons and number sequences.

In Grammar we have been reciting the alphabet, learning the capital letter names and matching them to the lowercase sound and learning how to form each letter correctly.

We have also been looking at sentence structure. Every sentence must start with a capital letter, most sentences finish with a full stop and when we read the sentence it must make sense.

After listening carefully to โ€˜The Worrysaurusโ€™ and โ€˜What the Ladybird Heard Nextโ€™ we had a range of activities to complete. We used our knowledge of sounds to write mostly independently but had access to a wordmat if needed. We used clues from the text to draw an unseen character and used our Success Criteria to complete our tasks.

The children always have access to the iPad to take photos of work that they are proud of. Here is a selection from August.

Finally, we have loved getting back outside to Muddy Movers. This week we were showing off our balancing skills. We also have some expert den builders, a regular Mud Kitchen McDonaldโ€™s in operation but most importantly we are having lots of fun playing together.

What a great start to Primary 2! ๐ŸŒŸ
