writing | Primary 2A 2024

We love outdoor learning in P1 and really wanted to share our love of the beach with P3. Pupils were really interested in finding ‘treasure’ and all found some interesting items at the beach. We were using our adapting meta-skills of being curious about the world around us and asking questions.

Pupil comments:

‘my sea glass looks like the Shetland flag!’
‘I found a rusty nail, a smooth stone and a piece of pottery.’

Both classes have been using adjectives in their writing. This week after our beach trip pupils suggested we both write about her sea treasures then pupils were keen to share their writing with the other class so we did a writing pair and share. We’ve really enjoyed learning together.

Pupil comments:

‘I loved seeing what P1 can write, they had some good adjectives in their writing!’
‘I like the P3s writing, they read it to me and I knew some of the words myself!’
‘Can we do more together? I liked sharing mine and reading the P1 writing to see what they thought the beach looked like.’

Primary 1A have been using paper to make ‘laptops’ and shown lots of interest in role playing ‘offices’. Luckily, we were given an old monitor and keyboard as well as two phones so pupils created an office in the classroom. Post it’s have provided lots of mark making opportunities, taking phone orders and messages and exploring the outdoor space with note making.

Mrs Sjoberg collected a huge box of conkers on holiday, we’ve been painting some, ordering by size, using them to count and some pupils chose to make numbers and phonemes using them. Lastly, we are getting quicker at ordering our human numberline and are so good at communicating with each other whilst supporting each other to get into the correct order.

So happy to see the pupils back in class after the holidays and so engaged in their play.
