Welcome back readers, we hope you had a lovely and relaxing October Holiday.

We have been learning lots of new skills in primary 2 this week, here is everything we got up to.

PE

In PE we played a scary game of zombie tig to start. We are so excited for Halloween! We continued with our gymnastics and learned how to do handstands, forward rolls and cartwheels.

RME

In religious education we were learning about the Harvest festival. We made fantastic posters all about Harvest and added drawings of everything you need to celebrate. We also learned about the Jewish celebration of Sukkot, we are looking forward to learning more about this.

Literacy

In literacy we spent time recapping the ‘qu’ sound and the ‘ar’ sound. We also started to learn about nouns, we discussed common nouns and proper nouns and thought of as many examples as we could for each.

 

Maths

In maths we learned about measuring weight. We spoke about how to use scales and how to tell if something is ‘heavier than’, ‘lighter than’ or ‘equal to’. After this we used different classroom objects to work out what was heavier, we used our estimation skills to do this.

Our home corner this week was Halloween maths themed too.

IDL

We finished our ‘People around the World’ topic this week with a final visit to Japan. We painted beautiful cherry blossom trees to remember the trip.

Next week we are moving onto an exciting new topic. We will be looking at celebrations all over the world. We cannot wait to see what we learn.

We have had a very fun and busy week in P2A and love sharing everything we get up to with our readers.

We hope you enjoyed, have a great weekend 🙂
