Primary 3/2 with Mrs Soutter
Summary of Learning
In Literacy, the children are continuing with Daily Supported Reading in ability groups each morning. During these sessions the children will work on blending phonemes to decode new words and common word recognition. They will also have the chance to develop their fluency and expression while reading. Back in class we will continue to extend the phonemes the children recognise and can use. We are also going to look at the grammatical terms ‘noun,’ ‘verb’ and ‘adjective.
This term our focus in writing is to write a report, we will write some factual reports linked to our topic. The children will continue to construct sentences using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We will be trying to ensure the size and shape of their letters is consistent.
In Numeracy we will begin by looking at addition before moving onto subtraction later in the term. Within Maths we will be looking number patterns a well as shape patterns. We will also incorporate this into our art and look at some famous artists who use pattern in their work. During topic work we will also look at reading grid references and maps.
Our topic this term is Scotland. We will be looking at the geography of our country as well as some important figures from Scottish history. We will look at our topic through music and art lessons too.
We are continuing with our ‘Baby Strings’ music lessons and are increasing our confidence holding the instruments and using the bow on the strings. We are also reading some musical notation.
PE Days
Our P.E days this term will be Monday and Tuesday. Please come to school dressed for P.E and wearing no jewellery. Monday’s P.E is outdoors, so please bring a jacket and have a spare pair of clothes in bags.
Please ensure children have sensible shoes on everyday. No crocs or other shoes that are not securely attached to their foot.
