Welcome to the P2-3 blog!
Last term, the children settled well in to the new classroom as a composite P2-3 class and enjoyed learning together. They have made new friends, organised the room and been engaged in their activities.
For the majority of our day, we learn through play – or ‘Independent Learning’ as the children have called it. It is fantastic to see all the children following their own interests, cooperating, problem solving and using their imaginations. The classroom is always buzzing with activity and it is amazing how many opportunities arise for literacy, maths and numeracy and other curricular areas, during play.
Last term in Maths and Numeracy, we focused on numbers to 100 – counting on and back, ordering and comparing, making numbers, addition and subtraction. This term, we will learn about 2D and 3D shapes, place value (3-digit & 4-digit numbers) and also begin to use money in the classroom to pay for the resources we are using.
We are reading each morning and learning a new sound and spelling pattern each week.
We have also been enjoying outdoor learning. Each week, whatever the weather, we head outside to Adventure Island. Here, the children have created and imagined a ‘Troll Lair’, ‘Witch’s Corner’ and ‘Mount Tyre’. There is often a hunt for hidden messages and number passwords too!
The winter term is always exciting with activities planned around Halloween, Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day and Christmas.

You can access the Sway with your child as they will need to be logged in to their Glow account.
