We’ve had another busy week in P2/1. In health and wellbeing we’re continuing to talk lots about being positive in uncertain times and also about being kind to each other. In circle time we made an ‘Appreciation Station’ where we said nice things about our friends. We talked about how we feel when we are kind and when people are kind to us.

We’ve used all the techniques we’ve learned the last few weeks to paint stickman for a school display. We used thick brushes for the background, a thinner brush for the stickman and a black pen for the finer details.

In phonics this week we’ve learned the sounds m and d. Primary One are doing a fantastic job using their cutting skills to cut out the letters for their craft activities. They are also getting more confident blending and building words with the sounds we know so far. In numeracy we’re continuing with numbers to ten, doing lots of formation practise and looking at different ways of showing the numbers, for example using our fingers or numicon.

We’ve had a couple of birthdays in P2/1 this week and have all enjoyed a birthday dance and making cakes and presents with playdough!
