P2A Phonics

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are ready for another great week. Please see this week’s Spelling words below for each group. This week, the children are learning the “oi” and “oy” sounds. Some pupils are also practising CVC words. Please support your child to read and write these words at home. The “Create an Activity” task on the homework grid provides opportunities for the children to use a strategy of their choice to practise their words e.g. painting, writing in felt pen, writing in chalk outside, going on a word hunt around the house etc.

Primary 2 have been given Fry’s words to practise at home this week. Pupils in Primary 2B have already been given Fry’s words. Please support your child to practise reading the highlighted words at home and these will also be practised in class. Please tick each word when your child can read it and they will be given more words to practise each week.

Dear parents/carers,

We are so proud of all the children for working so hard this term and settling back into school so well. They are a pleasure to have in our classes. Earlier in the week, we added Phonics words lists to show wh and qu words which the children have been learning this week. Here are the other sounds your child has learned in class with the word lists included for each group. So far, we have learned sh, th, ch, wh and qu. When possible, please support your child to read and write these words. More photographs of learning to follow after or October break.

Below are some examples of different ways to practise reading and writing these sounds at home.

  • Word detectives – try to find as many words as you can from your list in books. Write down any words you find.
  • Rainbow write – use three colours to practise writing your words on paper. Try to write over your word three times to create rainbow words.
  • Bubble words – Write your words in bubble writing and colour them.
  • Word hunt – write your words on small pieces of paper and ask an adult to hide them around the house. Try to find your words and read them aloud when you find them.
  • Sugar words – pour sugar on to a plate and use a straw to practise writing your words in the sugar.
  • Anagrams – ask an adult at home to write your words with the letters mixed up. Unscramble the words to write them correctly e.g. ipsh – ship.
  • Bake a cake and practise writing your words on the cake with icing.
  • Phonics interactive game – Fishy Phonics.  Link below. Or https://www.phonicsbloom.com/uk/game/fishy-phonics?phase=2

 

Thank you for your continued support and have a lovely October break.

Primary 2A and 2B Phonics

In Primary 2,  we have been working really hard to learn our new sounds this term. We take part in lots of different learning activities to practise reading and writing our sounds.

Our sounds this week are wh and qu. Some of us are also practising CVC words. Here are our words lists for this week. At the end of the week we will add more word lists to the blog to allow our parents and carers to see all the words we have been working hard to learn. Please note that Literacy groups for both classes are included; however, we all know the name of our group and should be able to tell you.

Please help us to practise reading and writing these words at home when you can. One of our favourite tasks is being word detectives. This is when we try to find the words from our list in books. It is great fun and we would love to do this at home too.

 

Thank you for all your support.

Home Learning and Fun in P2M

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you have had a great week and have had fun at home with your families. Thank you to those who are still sending photos of home learning and other activities you have been doing. It is lovely to see so many people still working hard on their learning and I have also enjoyed seeing other activities you are doing at home. Here are a few examples from this week.

Farah has enjoyed working through the resilience alphabet. F has been her favourite so far. This is a great “to do list” of fun activities you can do at home. It looks like you managed to do all these activities throughout the week. Well done!

Your rainbow vegetables are growing so much. You look very proud of your hard work and you should be. This is a great way to demonstrate sustainable living. Well done for all your hard work.

Hudson has also been very busy and working hard this week. He sent a photo of a bird feeding table he made with his dad in the garden. It looks great and he was very proud of himself. Well done Hudson!

Have a great weekend everyone! One week to go until the Summer holidays.

Hello everyone,

We hope you are well and having a good week. Apologies, the Maths worksheets included on this week’s grid were not attached on the blog. Here is a copy. There are two worksheets in which the – or + symbol is missing. There are also two subtraction worksheets with missing numbers. Remember, these do not need to be printed. They can be used as a template or copied into a jotter.

Missing Number Subtrction

Your challenge is to create your own missing number sums and these can be as difficult as you like. Have fun and enjoy the rest of your week.
