Primary 2 Phonics

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.

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.

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you and your families are well this week. A massive thank you to everyone for all your efforts during this time and thank you to each and every one of you who have taken the time to send photos of your home learning. I really enjoy seeing the activities you have been doing at home and it is great to see so many of you being creative and enjoying your learning.

Remember to keep sending photos if you can. I appreciate that this can be difficult as the weeks continue; however, any photos of activities you are doing at home are greatly appreciated. This could be photos of you doing activities such as baking, cooking, gardening, drawing, reading a book, riding your bike. Here are some more examples of activities that you have been doing at home.

Have a lovely weekend everyone! Well done for all your effort and support during this time.

From Miss Marra

After watching “Let’s Go Live” with Maddie and Greg, you created your own dinosaur zip line in the garden. Fantastic work and it looks like you had lots of fun doing this. Well done!

You worked hard to create this wonderful picture of a boat. I love the detail and effort you have put into this. Well done Luca!

What an amazing achievement for you Phoebe! You have been practising riding your bike without stabilisers and you can now do it. All your hard work and resilience has paid off. Well done Phoebe!

Home Learning in P2M

Hello everyone,

I hope you and your families are well and have enjoyed taking part in some of the Health Week activities this week.  Well done if you have taken part in the virtual Sports Day and earned points for your house. Thank you for all the home learning you have sent this week. It is lovely to see so many people working so hard during lockdown. You should all be so proud of yourselves! I am very proud of you. Here are some more examples of your fantastic home learning.

 

You used numbers on your magnetic easel to calculate how many days you have left until Primary 3. This is fantastic addition and subtraction Phoebe. Well done for choosing a creative way to practise Numeracy.

A few weeks ago, you used your toys to create your own enchanted woodland. This is so creative and looked like you had lots of fun. Well done!

 

After watching a “Let’s Go Live” episode with Maddie Moate and Greg Foote, you used your learning to create your own volcano model. This looks amazing and I can see you worked very hard on it. You look so proud of yourself and you should be. Well done!

A few weeks ago, you created this lovely poster to show your support for our fantastic NHS. I hope you displayed this proudly because you did a great job. Well done!

Keep sending me examples of your learning Primary 2. I really enjoy seeing all your learning and the interesting things you have been doing at home. Thank you to everyone who has been sending home learning so far. Have a lovely weekend.
