Hello!

Welcome to Primary 2 October Learning Blog! We are going to showcase all the wonderful learning experiences we have been part of this month. We managed to fit in a lot of fun too!

Literacy

This month in literacy we have been focusing on non-fiction and have been using lots of sources to gather interesting facts about sea creatures. We used all the facts that we found to write fantastic information reports about our chosen sea creature.

 

In Room 3 we are making good progress through our sounds. We love working with a partner to build our spelling knowledge. We use our magnetic boards to help us say, make/break, blend, read and write each of our phoneme words. Next month, we will be working on instructional writing and will continue to use our magnetic boards to help us to be more confident spellers.

Maths

This month in maths we have continued to work on our numbers up to 50 and we are much more confident with them. We have also been  working on ordering numbers, from biggest to smallest, for example.

We have been working hard to become more familiar with different 2D and 3D shapes. We enjoyed hunting for shapes in the sand, creating shape collages in the creative area and making lots of shapes out of playdough.

 

 

 

We always enjoy improving our accuracy on Sumdog and challenging ourselves to unlock new games. We like working with a partner during Number Talks and sharing our addition and subtraction strategies with the class. Next month, we will start work on estimating and rounding.

Health and Wellbeing

This month we had the chance to take part in many exciting activities during health week. We were able to practice our cycling skills during Balancability and we had so much fun playing with our friends in our Sumo Suits. We got to meet Ziggy and the Junior Road Safety Officers to learn some tips to keep us safe on the roads.

  

 

 

 

 

 

We made a fruit salad full of nutritious and delicious fruit that we all had a chance to prepare. We talked about our favourite fruit and how fruit gives us important vitamins which keep us healthy. Our fruit salad was so tasty some class members even had seconds!

 

 

 

 

Next month in health and wellbeing we will be focusing on hygiene and germs.

Thank you!
