Primary 2 Phonics

Good afternoon,

 

This week in Primary 2, we are learning the ai and ay sounds. Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home when possible. Please see the word lists below for each group. Some groups are working on CVC words, however; all the children are being introduced to our new sound each week.

Good afternoon parents/carers,

We have had a super start to our Primary 2 journey! We have had lots of changes take place in our school life however we have coped extremely well and have shown fantastic resilience.

We have been learning lots of new things across all of our curricular areas and having lots of fun whilst doing so. One of our favourite activities was a STEM challenge set by Miss Walkingshaw. Miss Walkingshaw asked us to create our very own paper plate straw maze. We were provided with a list of things we could use:

1 pair of scissors

1 role of cello tape

1 paper plate

4 paper straws

We did an amazing job and are very proud of how they turned out!

Have a lovely weekend and keep safe.

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.

P2M and P2W Author/Illustrator Visit

Last Thursday 5th March 2020 was World Book Day where we were lucky enough to have a special visitor join us during Literacy time. Kate McLelland, local author and illustrator shared her different novels with us and taught us some of her amazing drawing techniques.

We enjoyed learning all about how novels are made and how hard everyone involved has to work to make sure it is successful.
