P3R Maths week

This week is Maths week and we have been looking at visualising numbers. This helps us get a picture in our mind of how big or small numbers are and how we can show this. We looked at how patterns can help us to count and work out amounts quickly.

We coloured in dot patterns to show numbers to 30.

We drew long lines with chalk in the playground and we had to visualise where the numbers would go on the line.

We cut out dots of coloured card and used them to show 2 digit and 3 digit numbers…and even 4 digit numbers!

Well Done P3R!  Super number work.

Its great to be back!

Learning in Primary 2

Article 28: We have the right to learn.

We have been so busy working hard and getting used to our new routines in Primary 2 which means this is our first blog post of the year.

In Literacy and Maths, we have been taking part in learning activities at stations where we are provided with opportunities to say, write, make and do different tasks to help us with our learning.

In Literacy we have learned th, sh and ch words e.g. with, ship, chat. This week, we are learning words that begin with “wh.” Some of us are also practising reading and writing CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant; e.g. cat, mop, bug etc). Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home. Your child will also have opportunities to practise their sounds as part of their homework grid. In Maths we have been working on numeral identification and we have been working hard to order and sequence numbers within 100.

Every morning, we take part in Smart Start when we come into the classroom. We work individually, in pairs or groups on different learning activities including games, puzzles, mindfulness colouring, letter formation, quiet reading and making numbers using concrete materials such as cubes, counting sticks or numicon. This helps us to feel calm and ready for the day.

 

Our new Topic is “The Human Body.” So far, we have learned about the brain, the heart and the skeleton. We even made brain hats to show the sides of our brains and how they are used. We worked hard in groups to make skeletons which was a great challenge and we can’t wait to show them off at Parents’ Evening.

 

Just a reminder about our P.E days in Primary 2: P2M – Wednesday and Thursday. P2W – Tuesday and Wednesday.
