We have had a highly productive week of learning in P2\/1.<\/p>\n

In Literacy, pupils have been focusing on saying, blending, reading, and writing CVC words using their knowledge of initial sounds. This week, we introduced the sounds \u2018b\u2019<\/strong> and \u2018u\u2019<\/strong>, and learners can now confidently identify words beginning with each. Pupils are also developing greater confidence in recognising tricky words in their reading books and applying decoding strategies to tackle unfamiliar vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Within the playroom, our new context for learning is the Enchanted Forest<\/em>, where children have been engaging with a variety of fairy-tale stories. We took part in a design and build challenge inspired by The Three Little Pigs<\/em>. They constructed model houses and then tested their structures to evaluate their strength and suitability for protecting against the Big Bad Wolf.<\/p>\n

In Numeracy, the class has been developing their understanding of subtraction, recognising that taking away results in a smaller total. Pupils also created symmetrical artwork, demonstrating their growing understanding of symmetry.<\/p>\n

Our Nativity rehearsals are now well underway. Please check your child\u2019s homework folder on Tuesday for their assigned speaking lines, which should be practised at home.<\/p>\n
