We have had another busy week in P2.
In P.E. we continued learning more gymnastics skills. This week, we were learning different types of rolls. We learned how to perform a forward roll, a teddybear roll and a pencil roll. These are tricky skills to master!
In Art, we focused on primary and secondary colours. We learned what the primary colours are and then we were set a challenge to see what secondary colours we could make by mixing the primary colours together. We were amazed to see the colours changing as we mixed them together!
Our shell art from last week has now been framed and all of our work looks absolutely beautiful. We are so proud of how well we did. You’ll even find some of our creations in the display cabinet outside of the gym hall.
One of our topic lessons this week involved recreating a story through drama. We read “Katie Morag and the Big Boy Cousins” and then worked collaboratively to tell the story through our own dramas. We discussed what makes a quality audience and then provided each team with strengths and next steps.
This week in science we began investigating the properties of materials. We had to work collaboratively and our communication skills were really put to the test when we found that we had differences in opinion. We loved investigating all of the different objects on the tables.
We practised our knowledge of French numbers to 20 this week by playing a game of Bingo. We had to choose 9 numbers between 0 and 20 and when Miss Borsbey called out a number in French we had to circle the number if we had it. It was so much fun!
We are continuing to practise our skills when telling the time. We have been working on identifying o’clock and half past on both digital and analogue clocks. Have a look at us playing a super fun time board game with our friends!
We are also continuing to work on our spelling, with each group learning a different sound each week. We love doing active spelling tasks and building words using different resources around the classroom. Our favourite resources include magnetic boards, beads and scoobies, and letter jigsaws. We have also been using these resources to build upon our knowledge of the alphabet. We are becoming really confident with the order of the alphabet, the number of letters and the identification of the 5 vowels. We have decided to play a short game of quizmaster every day so that we can keep practising!
