We have been settling in well to Primary 2 and have enjoyed getting to know our new routines. We particularly enjoyed reading the story ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ where we learned that by showing kindness and love, we fill the invisible buckets that other people carry. We are now trying to earn pom poms for our own buckets by working hard, helping and behaving well. Mrs Simpson is very proud of everyone as we are trying so hard!

We have been revising a variety of previously taught phonemes and common words within Literacy, and have been carrying out a range of tasks and activities to consolidate our previous learning. We especially loved playing the game ‘Pot Luck’ with a partner, and using playdough to make ‘ch’ words.

In Maths we have been focusing on addition up to 20. We are learning a range of strategies to help us to do this. We also enjoy our number talks and using our Show Me boards to help us learn.

We have been learning Spanish and especially enjoyed the games we played to help us learn Spanish colours. Mrs Simpson is very proud as we are already doing our register and following commands in Spanish. Muy bien Primary 2!!
