This week in P2

This week has been busy finishing off our climate posters and working in groups to display the correct animals that live in those climates. We have started to look at counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and are discussing how this links to multiplication. We enjoy working on Sumdog in class as part of our maths lessons as well. We have also started a new genre of writing this week and we have been learning about information reports.  We are very much looking forward to Book Week next week and can’t wait for all of the activities.

P3 Learning

This week we recapped the time work we should know from P2 of o’clock, half past & quarter past. We worked in pairs to test each other. Then we challenged each other to try to tell quarter to times. We will continue to work using analogue clocks and start to use digital times next week.

We have just started learning to write a discussion. To do this we need to think about ‘arguments for’ and ‘arguments against’. So far we have completed discussion text for the questions, ‘Should children wear school uniform?’ and, ‘Should we have a class pet?’. Next week we will be thinking about the question, ‘Should children play at school?’.

We have also been learning about using question marks and have been enjoying finding them in our reading books.

 

Learning in P3/2

 

We have been working in Writing and we continue to use our “Bump It Up Wall” to help us improve our writing. We are learning to talk about our writing and peer-assess to help us identify our next steps. We worked in groups last week to peer-assess our last piece of writing and we wrote feedback on the desks using white board pens.

The writing we peer-assessed this week are now displayed on our Literacy Bump It Up Wall. We decided where they should go on our wall depending on what each person did well and what they need to work on to “bump up” their writing.

 

 

 

We are also working hard in Guided Reading. We are learning to read fluently and this term we are focusing on questioning. We start each Guided Reading lesson with “echo reading.” Miss Marra used to demonstrate this and now one of us leads it for the class. It helps us to practise reading fluently. We then split into our Reading groups to work on different learning activities. One group works with Miss Marra each day and we practise echo reading with our group. We also work on Comprehension skills. We have been using questioning cards to ask and answer questions about our book.

We are continuing to develop skills in Numeracy and we enjoy engaging in Number Talks daily. We recently took part in our first Choral Count of the term and we came up with even more number patterns than last time. We were great at talking about the patterns we noticed and talking about each other’s ideas. Our favourite thing about this is when we get to “be the teacher” and stand at the board to share our pattern. We came up with some patterns that Miss Marra didn’t even notice! We could talk about the Numeracy skills we were using. We stood in front of the board this time and it made us all stay focused on our learning. We liked this much better than sitting down for a choral count.

We can’t wait to continue to share more of our learning with you! Watch this space to see our progress in Writing. We are so proud of ourselves!

This week in P2

This week has been very busy in P2. We have been making 3D shapes out of lollipop sticks and play doh to create shapes. We have also been looking at subtraction skills and using loop cards to practise this. We began our group projects in our topic work and each group is looking at a different climate zone and thinking about the animals that live there. We are hoping to finish these in time four our Sharing the Learning afternoon in a couple of weeks. We have also discussed Bonfire safety this week and created posters to show how to be safe and have fun on the 5th November.

This week in P2

Another very busy week in P2. This week we are finishing off our addition and subtraction learning and we are beginning to look at multiplication. We have been using loop cards working in partners to solve problems in maths. We looked at shapes in the real world and discussed what they might be. We enjoy our daily number talk as it promotes a lot of discussion. We have also been doing a lot of Sumdog in class as part of maths lessons and using our QR codes to choose a maths game to practise.
We have had fun creating our own pointillism pumpkins this week as well and learning about this style of art.

This week in P2

It has been great to be back after the October holiday. We have been continuing to look at writing descriptions and working on addition and subtraction in numeracy.We have used our numeracy skills  through play opportunities as well to support our learning.  We are continuing to look at animals and different climate zones for our topic and learning about habitats. 

Literacy Bump It Up Wall in P3/2

 

 

 

We are working hard in Writing and we are using our Bump It Up Wall to support our learning. We have been learning to peer-assess our writing and we all know our targets. We are using our Bump It Up Wall to create individual targets too. We are so proud of all our hard work so far! Stay tuned to see some more excellent examples of our writing.

 


We have also been practising writing a description on our desks with white board pens. We are working hard to make sure we include each section of a descriptive text and we are becoming more independent. In this writing, we were describing “Tidy Teddy.” This amazing learner used some fantastic adjectives to bump her writing up.

 

This is the beginning of Ellie’s writing. We are learning to write a description and this piece of writing was describing one of our positive behaviour class animals “Positive Penguin.” Ellie has included a title, an introduction and she has started using adjectives to describe “Positive Penguin.” We cannot to see what she writes next!


We have been working so hard that we have forgotten to take more photos of our fantastic writing. We will share more of our writing with you next week and we are very excited to show our progress.

Primary 3

Although it has been a short week we have still learned lots. We looked at a picture and had to predict what we thought was happening. Then we wrote sentences about it.

We continued to work with money and started giving each other different amounts. Some people could work with coins to 10 pence while others could give amounts up to £10. We will keep challenging ourselves with our learning.

Last week was International Dot Day. We read the book The Dot by Peter Reynolds. We were then given a black dot sticker to put anywhere on our piece of paper. Then we had to use our imagination to create a picture using the dot. We came up with lots of different ideas. Come look at our Art Board to see some of our creations.

 

 

 

 

 

This week in P2

We have been working hard on our new topic of ‘Animals around the World’ and learning about Pets this week. We looked at what different pets need to have to be healthy and safe. We also looked at creating out own ‘What am I?’ clues for different pets.

We have continued writing descriptions and looking at Peep, my pet bird as a stimulus. In maths we have been looking at 2D shape and in Numeracy we have focused on reading and writing number words to 20 and beyond.

It has been a very busy week!

P3/2 Literacy Bump It Up Wall

 

Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.

are going to start using the PM approach to support us in Writing, however, we have started to think about how we can improve and “bump up” our writing using our “Literacy Bump It Up Wall.” Miss Marra showed a picture on the smart board and we had to write sentences about what we could see. It was a very exciting picture, and Mrs Robertson came to our class too. We had to write independently so Miss Marra and Mrs Robertson could see what we can write by ourselves. We spent two writing sessions working on the same piece, and we tried our very best, using a Growth Mind Set.

 

 

Miss Marra photocopied three random pieces of writing and we used a massive magnifying glass to look for what we liked about each piece of writing. We looked at our Learning Intention and Success Criteria and spoke about what we think we did well. We also identified next steps in our learning so we know how we can improve our writing. Miss Marra and Mrs Robertson are going to display this on our Bump It Up Wall in class.

We are so excited to be the first class in the school to do this.
