Term 1 has come to an end and what a term it has been!

All of P2b have worked so hard and definitely deserve a well earned break.  Here are some of our highlights from this term.

We really enjoyed the story teller Daniel Allison who visited us this week.

We loved learning all about Castles and Dungeons as part of our Learning Across the Curriculum.

We had lots of fun making dragons, dragon blowers and castles with Mrs Thompson.

We enjoyed all the different activities in P.E with Mr Jeffries and enjoyed Yoga and outdoor games with Mrs Palmer.

We assessed our learning in maths yesterday on all the different concepts we learnt this term and we did really well and remembered lots!

In literacy we enjoyed reading more challenging books, learning about characters and settings and comparing stories.

We really enjoyed writing this term and have really worked hard on remembering finger spaces, full stops and capital letters.  Above this we have learned how to write a description, learned and wrote about different openers and learned how to write a menu for a banquet.

We cannot wait for what next term will bring and we hope everyone has a great holiday!

Last week we were learning lots in class.  Here are some of the things we would like to share with you…

In maths we were learning to count up in two’s and three’s.  We also started symmetry and looked at how we used reflectors to see the other side of the shape and worked out how to complete a symmetrical pattern.

In literacy, we learned about functional writing and wrote our very own menu for a banquet which links to our learning across the curriculum topic about castles.

Next week we will be learning about openers to make the start of our writing more interesting.

We have been learning lots of new sounds in phonics and everyone is trying hard to transfer this into our writing too.

With Mrs Thompson we finished off our castles that are made out of tissue paper-these look really cool!

In R.M.E. we have been learning about Sukkot and learning about Harvesting through the story of Ruth and Naomi.  We made a storyboard retelling the story of this.

In science we have been learning about the changing of seasons and we went on an investigation into the playground to find leaves of all different colours.  We worked out that leaves only stay green if they are getting enough food from water and sunlight.  If they don’t, this is when they start to change colour and fall off the trees.

Review jotters have now went home, please fill out the highlights page and any successes from home and return by Friday 13th October.

We have been working on using our recognition of sounds to help read words.

As part of our topic Castles we have learned about describing words and used this in our writing this week which was all about Jesters.

LAC

We learned about Jesters and what their role is in a castle.  We found out that they entertain the King and all the castle guests.  We imagined we were all Jesters by making our very own Jester hats.
