Primary 2 have had a fabulous start to the year. We have a new topic which we all absolutely love – Fairyland!! It all started when we received a letter from a friendly dragon asking us to rebuild Fairyland  as it was lost. We have been working hard to design a new beanstalk for Jack. It looks great so far.  We have also made some pictures of the giant which are on display in our class. We got a shock when we came in and the Fairyland characters had started work on the new beanstalk for us. We have been using fairytales to give us ideas for our Taught Writing lessons, and have been writing letters to Elsa about our magical powers. We also enjoyed purposeful play which was topic themed. This gave us the chance to learn through play.

In literacy we have been so busy with new sounds, words and reading books. We also met two new characters this month: Veronica Verb and Naomi Noun. We had fun learning about nouns and verbs and when to use them.

We visited the library this month and had fun reading some lovely stories. We had the opportunity to return our old books and borrow a new one.

In Maths we have been working on multiplication and measure. We have had a ball using the pan balance to compare weights of items. We even used pencils to measure the length of each other. We like to be active when we learn so we have enjoyed sharing and making equal sets of items to help us with multiplication and division.

We are so luck to get to work with a specialist during P.E time. We have been learning football. We enjoy learning new skills and developing resilience through sports activities.

Within R.E we have been learning about the Epiphany of the Lord. We have also been thinking about the baptism of Jesus and the children have been thinking about their own baptism.
