What a quick 2 weeks, almost into May!

During this two weeks in literacy, we have focussed on short vowel sounds, oi and oy in spelling. We have been playing games and going over our spelling lists in class to help us practise them! In writing we have been adding detail by continuing to write about our news from the weekend and writing about what we did during Easter and explaining why our favourite animal is the best. In our comprehension we have focussed on our summarising skills, allowing us to summarise passages and our group reading books!

In numeracy we have been continuing to practice our number bonds within 20, improving our quick recall everyday. The butterflies and spiders have been practising their vertical calculation skills and the lady bugs have been working very hard on their ordering skills to help them find the biggest and smallest numbers. We have also been recapping our pattern skills, creating them on whiteboards and sorting coins into certain amounts to practice our money handling skills.

The focus on health and wellbeing at this point is to understand how we can make healthy choices. This is done through food choices, sleep and exercise habits. So far we have successfully categorised food into healthy and unhealthy on the chromebooks and will be going on to make our own ‘perfect plate’ to highlight the healthy foods we like to eat, as well as the treats we like to have.

We are now into a session on rebound games, with the children all working very hard on their bat and ball skills, relay racing skills and sportsmanship. We also had a sunny dance lesson outside where we used the instructions of the cha cha slide to make our own dances.

Only two more months until this lovely class of primary 2 turn into big  primary 3s, where has all that time gone?! Another fantastic month in p2/2, can’t wait to see what May holds for us!
