Hello!

Welcome to Primary 2’s December Learning Blog! This month we have had lots of festive fun in Room 3. We have made the most of this happy time of year by taking part in lots of exciting activities and outings! We hope you enjoy hearing all about our busy month!

Literacy

In Room 3 we have been working on writing a clear and well organised set of instructions. We used bullet-points to make our instructions very easy for the reader to follow. We decided to tell our reader how to make our Reindeer Hot Chocolate Cones. We wanted to share our experience of making the Reindeer Cones with other boys and girls who might like to sell them at their Christmas Fayre.

 

We used our writing skills to write a letter to Santa. We asked Santa lots of questions about the elves and Mrs Claus. We also asked him to bring us some presents on Christmas Eve! Lily asked Santa for a play kitchen and Richard asked for a horse! We have been very good this year so we are all hoping we are on the Nice List!

 

 

This month we have been developing our reading skills and have been working on becoming more confident in our reading tasks. We have been focusing on our Text Detective and Beginning, Middle and End tasks. We know that when we are summarising a text, we only need to tell the reader the most important parts of the story! Next term, we will be focusing on the Find It, Prove It, Talk About It reading task and  story writing.

 

Maths

This month in maths we have continued to work on our numbers up to 50 and we are now more confident with numbers up to 100. We love to use our 100 Square to support us with the concept of place value.

 

We have also been working on the concept of symmetry. We have been using our knowledge of the line of symmetry to draw the other half of a festive picture. The snowman and the gingerbread man were our favourites! Next term, we will focus on addition and subtraction and fractions.

 

 

 

Health and Well being

The festive period has provided many valuable and exciting learning experiences. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Motherwell Civic Centre to see the pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk. Our favourite character was Silly Billy because he made us laugh.

 

We had the opportunity to form our own business, which we decided to call ‘The Rockin’ Rudolph Reindeer Team’. We made Hot Chocolate Reindeer Cones to sell at our Christmas Fayre. Our Reindeer Cones were a massive hit and sold out very quickly!

 

This year Room 3 took part in the Christmas Nativity. We were part of the Primary 2 Choir and put in lots of effort and enthusiasm when learning all the songs and actions. On the day of the performance we did an amazing job on stage in front of all the ladies, gentlemen and children in the hall.

 

Just when we thought we couldn’t pack any more fun into this month, it was time for our Christmas Party. We joined together with our friends in Room 1 and 2 to get into the Christmas spirit and enjoyed dancing, party games and some delicious treats! Next term, we will focus on Road Safety.

Thank you!

Thank you for visiting the Primary 2 December Learning Blog and for all your support this year! We hope you have a great Christmas filled with love and laughter! We look forward to coming back to school next year for a new term of wonderful learning experiences!
