Primary 1/2 – Term 2

Welcome back to Term 2!  This is always an exciting term with seasonal events such as Halloween, Fireworks, St Andrew’s Day and then … the run up to Christmas!

• In Numeracy & Maths this term we will be finishing our Shapes topic by exploring 3D shapes then moving onto looking at more Number work – one more/one less, odd and even, place value and counting on and back.  We will then investigate Time – days of the week, months of the year, seasons and reading the time on clocks.
• In Literacy, we will be continuing work on phonics in addition to reading “The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch” by David Armitage and Ronda Armitage.  It will focus on themes such as problem solving, creativity, teamwork, the natural environment, perseverance and resilience.
• In Science we will be focusing on problem solving through stories like “The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch” and practical experiments.
• We will continue to develop our technology skills weekly with the school iPads. We will be having lots of fun on the interactive whiteboard as well. We will work with the children from the EYC to teach them how to use the iPads and other technology tools like Spheros.
• Our Outdoor Learning day is on a Thursday.  It continues to be important that we come to school with appropriate clothing so we can go outdoors no matter the weather (unless it is stormy!)
• Keep checking Teams and X for regular updates of what we have been up to each week in class 🙂
