What a very busy start to the new term! We have welcomed three new pupils into Primary 2 so it has been a very exciting week! Writing We have moved on to our next genre in writing which is narrative. The children have worked very hard to create their story about ‘The Lost Puppy’. We are trying to remember a capital letter, finger space and full stop in all of our sentences.
PE We are now doing basketball for PE. This week we have worked on dribbling, chest passes and have started trying to shoot into the basket, which is a challenge! The children have really enjoyed basketball and cannot wait to play a proper game.
Topic We are doing a mini topic on Scotland. We have discussed this week what we already know about Scotland and what we would like to learn about. We also sang ‘Heid, Shooders, Knees an Taes’ as we were looking at Scots language. They found Scottish slang very funny as they think it sounds very ‘weird’. Just in case you hear any slang about the house! I am extremely proud of how hard the children have worked this week. Have a lovely weekend!

This Week in P3
Literacy
This week, we have been working hard practising our spelling words. We have been playing spelling games with our friends to develop our skills when sounding out words.
In writing this week, we started learning about narrative writing. We use a story mountain to help us plan our story. We had to use our imagination to create a text to entertain the reader. We were writing a story where we went through the wardrobe and we went into a different land.
Numeracy
This week, we have been focusing on missing number addition equation. This is an addition equation where we have the answer and one of the digits we are adding and the second digit is missing. We could use the count on strategy or the take away strategy.
IDL
We have been learning about Christian beliefs this week. We have learnt that Christians believe in one God and they pray to God to give thanks, to give them guidance or for forgiveness. We also were learning that Christians believe that God created the universe in 6 days and on the 7th day God had a rest. Then, we had to design a poster to display the key features if Christian beliefs.
