October was a very busy month in Primary 2!! In Maths we have continued to work on addition and have been completing a wide variety of practical tasks. We also began to look at 3D shapes and have been revising what we learned in P1. Mrs Simpson says we are doing so well already.
In Literacy we have been reading lots more reading books. It’s so helpful when we practise our reading at home as it helps us to complete tasks about them in class. We have also been making great progress within writing. Our favourite piece of writing recently has been a recount of our Halloween party. We are learning to use adjectives in our writing to make it even more interesting. We particularly liked our Halloween adjectives lesson when we created a list of adjectives about witches, monsters etc. This has really helped us with our writing.
We have carried out solo talks which we were asked to prepare for homework this month. We have been a brilliant audience for our peers, and have enjoyed presenting about our chosen career. We demonstrated confidence and good presentation skills during our solo talks. We really are superstars in the making!! A special big thank you to our grown ups for helping us prepare so well.
Within P.E we are learning a range of dance moves within lessons with Greig. Our favourite so far is definitely dancing to Thriller. We particularly enjoyed our Halloween P.E lesson where we played a variety of games with a spooky theme.
Our library visits have been amazing!! We love getting the chance to read the books that we choose. As our comprehension, fluency and accuracy improves, as does our enjoyment of stories. Mrs Simpson loves reading our stories to us when we get back to class.
The highlight of our month was our Halloween disco. We had a spooktastic night and we especially loved seeing our friends in fancy dress. The party games were brilliant. We can’t wait until our Christmas party now.
