We used cards with numbers and cards with number names to match the correct number to its word.

We we had fun trying to find our partners!!

This afternoon we learnt about the history of the Jewish festival of Succot, when Moses led the Jews from Egypt.

We really liked an amazing woodprint by Hokusai, a famous Japanese artist.  It is known as The Great Wave.  We had fun choosing colours and creating patterns to design our own “great waves”.

Language

Phonemes

We have been revising the phonemes ck, ch, sh and th

Try to find words in newspapers, comics and in other places which include these sounds.

This is a fun website to practise the phonemes and using the words correctly in sentences.

Onset and rime

We have been practising – “at” words e.g. cat, mat etc and making up silly “at” stories. Next week it will be “an” words, so can you make up a silly story to share with us.

Reading

A new reading book will be given each Friday. The days for reading are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so please make sure that pupils have their reading books in their bags each day.

Look for 2, 3 and 4 letter words in the reading book. Give some examples.

Can you find any words with our phonemes in them?

Which is your favourite page? Draw the picture and tell someone why it is your favourite.

Maths

We have been learning about 3D shapes. Have a look around your house. Find 5 real life examples of 3D objects, draw the shapes that you have found and name them e.g. a tin of soup is a cylinder.

Why not try to make a model using 3D junk e.g. kitchen rolls, cereal boxes, etc.

HWB

Now that the nights are getting longer, think about safety when people are out and about.

Draw a picture to show what people might wear to stay safe in the dark. Think about bicycles and cars too to help you some ideas.

Today we were thinking about the Japanese numbers from 1 to 10. We did the actions which help us remember them, then we thought about ways that we could remember the Japanese symbols too. ” The number 9 looks like a crane.” ” Number 8 looks like a volcano.”  Can you think of any ideas?

In  the afternoon we used a net of a cube template to make a small box for Eid sweets. 

It it was a bit fiddly folding and sticking a 3d shape, but we managed very well.

This is was the end result.

Hope that everyone has a lovely weekend and see you next week.

What a busy day we have had!

After break we we were learning about the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha and how caring and sharing is very important. We saw a video clip about a family celebrating and their family and friends brought food to share which looked yummy.

This afternoon we made Wedhmi which is a traditional Eid dish.

First we had to weigh the ingredients.

This is what they looked like when they were baked. They tasted good.

Then we made messy sweets and everyone got a bit messy too! Mrs Macleod was covered in icing sugar! These are some of our messy sweet designs.

We are very creative in Primary 2. See you tomorrow.

In French/ ICT we were revising greetings. We matched the words with the phrase or word that we heard. We had to listen very carefully, but we managed to do the task well.

The website is Primary French which is very good for practising vocabulary which has already been taught. Au revoir .

P2 taught the p7s something new today!  After sequencing our instructions for how to play Jan ken poi, we visited the p7 class and taught them how to play.  There are some tricky Japanese phrases to say.  Why not teach someone else at home?

We watched videos of different types of Japanese dancing.  We told each other what we thought about them. We spotted what the same and what was different about them.  We matched up pictures and words to describe the different styles of dance.  We even had a little dance ourselves!

The end of another week!

Today we were practising counting forwards and backwards and looking at the patterns in the number square while we were doing it. Then we were working out numbers bigger and smaller than others.

These were numbers smaller than our own ages- 2,3,4 and 5.

This afternoon we printed the cover sheets for our jobs and responsibilies work in ICT. Our books are looking great!

I hope that everyone has a great weekend. See you next week.

We were learning about animals. Linsey came from the SSPCA which is an animal charity. We could collect things that would help to save a fox if it was stuck in a hole. Some of us would like a job looking after anim

als. We watched a video about pets. Also, we learnt to catch a snake with a pillow case. A man was looking after the wild animals. If someone is hurting an animal we have to tell an adult to ring the SSPCA.  We must not touch wild animals because they might just be learning their skills to live in the wild.

In P.E. we were practising throwing and catching. We were learning a new throw called a shoulder pass. We were all getting better because we were practising. There was some great throwing and catching ! Our is very impressed with our line games.
