Hi All
Another busy week in Primary 2! We have been continuing our study of Life in the Past this week by researching methods of transport. We enjoyed learning about old cars and steam trains and how they worked. We have some beautiful line drawings of old cars in our jotters for you to see at parents night!
In Literacy we have focussed on the ‘ay’ phoneme which can be tricky as there are other ways of making this sound not yet covered (e.g. ai, a-e). Any practice that you can do with familiar words at home would benefit your child. In Writing, we continued our focus on persuasive texts by creating leaflets encouraging people to be eco-friendly.
In Maths and Numeracy we have been continuing work with numbers to 100 and data handling with a focus on creating and interpreting bar graphs.
We are continuing to promote our Shoebox Appeal around school and this week we will pack 3 shoeboxes in class – 1 each for a boy and girl age 6 and an adult one for a lady. The children will help to pack and choose what each person would like/need. The details have been sent out by email and there is a checklist with suggested items attached. We would be very grateful if any completed shoeboxes could be brought into school by Friday 25th October (the first week back after October holidays).
Thank you for your continuing support,
Mrs Oliver, Miss Pringle and Miss Rafferty
