Our Fortnight in Room 24

Last week we started to go outside with the new P1s (our buddies) at break and lunchtime. It was nice seeing them settling in and finding new friends.

After school on Thursday our parents came in to see what we were doing and to meet our teacher. They could see of the work on our walls already.

For numeracy we did logic puzzles which we’d say is better than normal math in the first week back, hands down!

Ollie & Lucas

This week, we have been lots including doing dodgeball, writing, and math.

Our buddies have settled in so well they don’t need us as much anymore 🙁 We know this is a good thing though 🙂

We have started dodgeball in PE that everybody enjoys. We were working in teams of 6 or 7 and did a tournament to find the best players and team.

We all went into trios and completed word problems in math that were scattered around the class. It was great seeing everybody working together in groups 🙂

In writing we were describing a picture with our five senses: hear, see, smell, touch and taste. We had rain and storm sounds on in the background too to help us with our setting descriptions. We’re going these descriptions to add to our writing next week.

Our First Week in Room 5 :)

What an amazing first full week of primary 2 this has been!

This week we learned different strategies to help us with our mental maths. We also focused on number work, counting forwards and backwards, missing numbers and recognising numbers 0-100 and beyond. In literacy, we focused on a different sound per day ‘sh, ch, th, ng, wh’ and our common words ‘have, your, only, by’. We created our own self portrait, using black paper and white pencil focusing on our shading. We created our class charter, learned all about the rights we have as children and created our own lollipop superhero as we will protect our class charter at all times. We also spent time getting to know our classroom and playing with the new toys to help us learn new skills. We learned how to share, think critically and how to problem solve.

Pupil voice:

ORM- I enjoyed learning numbers.

CJ- I enjoyed playing with the lego and building.

AD- I enjoyed building with number cubes to create a long tower.

ST- I liked working with my new jotter.

CJ- I liked doing work in my jotter.

AJ- I liked doing some handwriting.

It was so lovely to meet you all at meet the teacher, thank you for coming. I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend. See you on Monday.

Remember: P.E kit on Monday for OUTDOOR P.E.

Please can you also return the brown envelopes if you haven’t already.

Welcome to Room 5 :)!

Hi Everyone!

We have had a wonderful start to our Primary 2 journey this week, and it has been lovely getting to know all the children.

We have spent most of our time playing, singing and getting to know our new classmates. Today we spoke about our class rules, and we all promised to follow them. The children created hand prints to put up alongside our poster. Next week we will begin learning the phonemes ‘sh, ch, th, ng, and wh’ and will start our numeracy topics of numbers to 50, numbers before and after, and looking at the days and months of the year.

Useful Information:

P.E days are on Monday and Thursday. Monday will be outdoor P.E (weather permitting), and Thursday will be indoor P.E. Could you please make sure all children have a waterproof jacket in their bag for P.E. Children should wear appropriate P.E clothing to school on these days.

Meet The Teacher is on Thursday 21st August, 3:20-4:20 / 4:20-5:20. I look forward to meeting you all and answering any questions you might have.

Thank you so much, and have a lovely weekend.

Miss Livingstone
