P2/1 Mrs MacKay
Term 2
Summary of Learning
This term Primary 1’s will be building on the great start the children made with their sounds and continue the Jolly Phonics programme. The children will be learning to blend and segment ( c-a-t … cat). We will be learning about various traditional tales, songs and games, to develop their reading skills such as the concepts of print, predicting, visualising and more. In Writing, the children will be learning to use their knowledge of sounds to have a go at writing CVC words as well as continuing to focus on pencil grip and control. We will also focus on telling stories through pictures and puppets.
Primary 2 pupils will be focusing on blending using digraphs, sounding out unfamiliar words, and expanding their vocabulary through daily reading activities. In writing, they will continue to build sentences using their knowledge of sounding out to help spell new or unfamiliar words. They will also practise writing simple sentences to match story maps and will have the opportunity to retell these stories to their Primary 1 peers.
In numeracy,P1’s are working on number recognition of number 11-20 whilst P2’s will be working on numbers 20 – 50. P1 children will be introduced to concepts such as part part whole and simple addition whilst P2’s focus on independent addition and subtraction. All the children will have the opportunity to explore number actively in the classroom and the street area. We are also using SeeSaw and SumDog as a home learning link for Numeracy.
This term’s topic is Fairytales, and the children will be learning to retell these classic stories using story maps, role play, and puppets. Through these activities, they will develop their understanding of story structure, characters, and sequencing while having fun bringing the tales to life.
