This week in Primary Two we have been busy learning all about:

• Maths: We have been learning all about the properties of 3d shapes. We know that 3d shapes have faces, corners and edges.
• Literacy: We have been learning to spell words with the magic ‘e’ rule (the long u-e sound.) In writing, we were thinking all about how the Owl Babies felt when their mother had left them to go hunting. We used our senses to help us think of some ideas. We have still been working on adjectives and we hunted in our reading books to spot some that the author had used. It helped us to think about our own writing.
• This week, we also launched the First Minister’s Reading Challenge where we have to try and read as many books as we can over the year- we have all been given a reading passport to record our reading journey.
• Topic: This week we have been investigating all about owls. We have learned how to label  a diagram of an owl with its body parts.
• RE: We have began to think about the Nativity story. This week we have been thinking about how Mary and Joseph were feeling when they found out Mary would be having the baby Jesus.
• We have all had a go at making some hot chocolate reindeer cones to sell at the Christmas Fayre-we look forward to lots of our mums and dads buying them for us!
• Our Nativity practice is continuing to go well, please can you send in costumes for your child if one is required. Thanks to all parents who have already done so.
