Literacy
This week our focus has been on the sounds ‘th’ and ‘ng’. We have used these sounds to make words on the magnetic boards and to write dictation words in our jotters. We are continuing to recognise more of our Fry’s words to help us to read and we are remembering to complete our reading homework task and bring our reading folders to school everyday. Our writing theme this week was ‘Helping at Home’ and goodness me we have so many busy P2’s that there must be sparkling homes all over Broxburn.
Numeracy
We have been counting backwards and forwards in 2’s to 20 and finding the missing numbers in non-consecutive number sequences. We used all the lovely new shape resources in school to discover the properties of the shapes. We know that they have faces, edges and corners.
Our Community
Our new theme is all about our community in Broxburn. This week we were learning about the location of Broxburn and looking at maps. We also thought about the different jobs people would have in Broxburn and the uniforms that they would wear.
RERC
We completed lots of religious learning this week. We found out about the story of Moses, we celebrated Our Lady’s birthday on the 8th September and produced some lovely pictures for the church. Father Jeremy paid us a surprise visit to collect our art work. We ended the week learning about the story of Noah’s Ark and worked as a team to create a beautiful frieze for the school corridor.
Health and Well-being
As usual we enjoyed participating in our daily mindfulness and 5 a day fitness sessions. Our focus was on safety in the home and the dangers of matches and lighters. We also spoke about our ‘Get Active’ theme and thought about things we can do at home to help us to relax and things we can do to become more active. Primary 2 had lots of fabulous ideas for both lists.
