One month back to school and primary 2a have been extremely busy.

in maths and numeracy we learned a little more about time working with digital and analog clocks. We moved on to some tricky 2 digit addition and subtracting which the class were absolutely amazing at. Yesterday we started learning about money, something we are all very excited about.

We have continued to work through our spelling programme using magnetic boards to help us make and manipulate different sounds and words. Last week we even learned about our first difficult trigraph ‘igh’.

In writing we have started ‘Setting’ writing. So far the class has described their school, created their own dream school and dream park, using loads of amazing adjectives and challenging ourselves to extend our sentences with connectives.

In the playroom we have been learning about space and robots which the kids absolutely loved. They pretended to be astronauts in the role play area, built spaceships and robots in the construction area and made their own jet packs with junk modelling. We are now learning about the NHS.

Last week we also had our first Rugby session, we played loads of team races and learned about passing in Rugby.

.

Into the final week of term 2 and primary 2a have done amazing and looking forward to their well earned rest.

in the last 4 weeks they have learned some difficult concepts in numeracy like division and multiplication which they absolutely smashed. They’re now fully focused on learning about time and have been loving working with the clocks so far.

In literacy they have been working their way through their spelling and reading programmes showing more confidence each week with new sounds and answering questions about their reading books. This term their writing topic was character description, last week they done their final amazing piece, in which they created and described their own elf.

Also during this busy time they learned all about Scotland through the playroom, had a great time at the Pantomime watching Peter Pan and rocked out with the rookie rockstars.
