We’ve had a lovely week in P2/1.  We’ve had lots of chats this week about how we all have different thoughts and can see things differently, looking at stories from different perspectives and also looking at some optical illusions – how many animals can you see in this picture?

We’ve spent more time outside looking at trees, and on Monday collected more leaves from sycamore, oak and lime trees. We then painted roots, trunks and branches and when they’d dried did some leaf printing. We talked about the different parts of the tree before labelling them. We’re also getting very good at recognising the different trees in our stories!

In phonics this week we’ve learned the final Jolly Phonics sound ‘ar’. We’re doing a great job with our writing, this week writing a descriptive piece all about Floppy the dog. In numeracy we’re continuing with subtraction, numbers to 30 and ensuring correct number formation too.

We’ve had lots of fun in PE this week. We are doing running, jumping and throwing in athletics and playing games to build stamina.

We’re also enjoying playing, inside and outside the classroom. This week our play seems to have had a robot theme!
