1. 

Brrrr, its been a cold week! But that hasn’t stopped all of the hard work P2/3 have been doing.

 

Literacy

 

In literacy this week,  we have been learning about alphabetical order to the third letter. This has allowed us to become more confident when using a dictionary. We have been able to search for words relating to our topic and find the definition.

 

P2 have been learning about verbs. We know that a verb is a “doing word”. We were able to come up with our own verbs and use them in a sentence. We have also been learning about past present and future tense verbs.

P3 were learning about 2 adjectives describing a noun. This has allowed us to up-level our writing and create much more descriptive and imaginative writing.

 

Talking and Listening

We love show and tell Fridays!!

I have never been more proud of the ever growing confidence children have in P2/3. From solo talks, to singing, performing and dancing. This class are full of secret talents!

Eshal spoke confidently to the class about her betty spaghetti dolls she recieved.

Malaika and Omar sang a beautiful duet of “I believe I can Fly” ❤️

We had a beautiful song from Haania, Malaika and Eshal !

And what an incredible effort Hasan made for his performance. Idris made his own electric guitar at home and Hasan brought in the costumes and the cake. Blown away by all of the talent we have in this classroom!

And it doesnt stop there!!

Hannia wrote music and performed a spectacular piece with Adam in the open area!

 

Digital Literacy

We have been developing our research skills in the classroom. We have in the past been able to research books and now we are learning how to research online to find information using the iPads.

 

Children worked in groups to research information about the British Robin. We were able to record our findings.

What a week filled with learning lots of new skills!

And of course we had lots of fun in the snow!!

We have had a very busy first week back. We have been working so hard in literacy, maths and learning about our new topic Migration. P2/3 are very excited to show you what we have been up to this week. Have a look at our learning wordle for the first week back ..

Maths

 

We have been Learning how to calculate change. Dirko was able to show the rest of the class how to calculate change from £5.00 and even more impressive. £10.00! Well done Dirko!

Danial P3 and Mahnoor P2 were able to work together and problem solve to find change from £5.oo together during mental maths!

 

 

Literacy

We enjoyed our snack and story time on Friday. We were able to speak about our favourite books with a friend. some of us even swapped books and discussed our favourite part!

 

 

We have also started a new Topic this term. We are learning about Migration!
We will be focussing on the migration of birds and we have started to read a fantastic poem called “Comming Home” by Michael Morpurgo. You can listen to Michael Morpurgo read the story here and watch the beautiful film adaption.

 

 

We are excited to do lots of work surrounding this story and we cannot wait to tell you more about it.

Love P2/3 xx
