Literacy
During this short week in Primary 2 we have been learning to read and spell words with the ‘ph’ phoneme such as ‘phone’ ‘photo’ ‘dolphin’ and ‘elephant’. We also explored verbs in the past tense in a recount writing activity called ‘My Holiday Diary’ where we filled in the missing verb then copied it into our jotters.
Numeracy
In numeracy this week we have been learning to count to 50 through various activities: worksheets, matching word numbers to the number and using numicon to create numbers from 30 – 50.
Topic
In our ‘Broxburn Topic’ we discussed the shops and services we have in our community such as the canal, church, school and the purposes of these buildings. We enjoyed sharing our favourite places to go – Almondale park and the swimming pool!
Health and Well-being
This week we learnt about the different Zones in the Zones of regulation: Green, Red, Yellow and blue . This helps us identify which zone we are in, in relation to how we are feeling, for example we know the green zone is when we feel happy, calm and focused which means we are ready to learn. The blue zone is when we feel tiered, bored or sick. When we are in the yellow zone we may feel excited, worried or silly. The red zone is when we feel angry and out of control.
