Primary 2/1 you have worked hard this week!
In Literacy, Primary 1s were learning the sounds ‘oi’ as in coin and ‘ng’ as in sing and practised lots of lovely handwriting for these. They also practised reading simple sentences from the board and even writing one sentence on their own in their new writing jotters – “See a cat.” They are also enjoying their new reading groups and read their second reading book this week.
Primary 2s are also reading well and enjoying their reading group time together. They have been practising reading with more fluency (faster). In writing they were practising their writing skills by creating a word bank of Easter words before writing three of their own Easter sentences. Primary 2s were learning new sounds of ng and nk and practising their spelling words for these. Our Friday handwriting lesson is much enjoyed by Primary 2 and they listen to gentle Minecraft relaxing piano music to help slow down the pace of writing to help improve it.
In Numeracy Primary 1s and Primary 2 have been learning Time and completed lots of great work on that on both analogue and digitial clocks. Primary 2s also spent time practising some of their division again whilst Primary 1s practised more addition.
In Science the whole class worked with Mrs Beattie to create great diagrams of the class plant growing experiments.
In Topic the children continue to enjoy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story book by Roald Dahl and any associated activities with that. They recently enjoyed making the chocolate waterfall and lollies and sweetie decorations for the role play corner.
In RME the children learned about the bible story of Easter with Mrs. Turner.
Thank you for all of your hard work and enjoy the weekend, boys and girls.
Best wishes,
Mrs Meikle
