P2/1 weekly update

This week in P2/1, we focused on number recognition, specifically numbers 0–10.
The children practised identifying each number and worked on correct number formation.

In literacy, we learned two new sounds: ‘d’ and ‘e’, and the children engaged in a variety of activities to reinforce their learning. We also introduced new tricky words, which the children enjoyed learning. These have been sent home and should be practised daily to help support the transition from reading to writing.

We also introduced our reading books, which have been sent home. Pupils have enjoyed taking part in reading groups and reading aloud with confidence and enthusiasm.

To conclude our Journeys’ topic, the children enjoyed taking a journey through space, using their imagination and creativity to explore beyond our world. It was a fun and engaging way to wrap up our learning.

 Another fantastic week of learning. Well done everyone.

A fantastic week of learning

This week in Maths, we explored 2D shapes, learning to name and recognise them in our classroom and around the school. In Numeracy, we worked on subitising numbers from 0–10, building our ability to instantly recognise quantities without counting.

In Literacy, we focused on the first set of sounds: S, A, T, P, I, N. The children are becoming more confident in recognising and writing these sounds, and it’s been great to see their progress. We have  been enjoying mark making, experimenting with forming letters and expressing their ideas on paper in creative ways.

In the playroom, we’ve been learning all about journeys. The children explored different modes of transport used for travelling and loved sharing stories about journeys they’ve been on with their families.

Well done P2/1! Another fantastic week of learning.

P2/1 Weekly Update

Our classroom has been buzzing this week with Superhero energy! We’ve been practising kindness and helpfulness, and celebrated these super actions by creating our own Supertato characters. This helped us explore what it means to be a kind and caring friend.

In music, we’ve been exploring beat and rhythm. One highlight was marching along to different songs — including the lively Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride from Lilo & Stitch! It was wonderful to see everyone moving and grooving in time with the music.

In literacy, we learned two new sounds: ‘p’ and ‘n’. Our confidence is growing when reading and recognising our initial sounds.

In numeracy, we focused on numbers up to 10. We used concrete materials to count and practised the formation of numbers too.

Welcome to P2/1

Over the past few weeks, our Primary 2 and 1 pupils have done an amazing job settling into our daily routines.

In the classroom, the children have been busy learning about numbers from 0-10 and 2d shape. We are also beginning to learn initial sounds and are becoming increasingly confident when recognising, reading and writing them.

We are focusing on movement during P.E to increase our spatial awareness.
Please ensure your child has appropriate indoor shoes for these lessons.

We also had a fantastic visit from the M&M Theatre Group, who treated the children to a magical performance of Alice in Wonderland. The show was a lovely experience for all.

Homework will be issued next week, so please keep an eye out for it in your child’s bag.
