Another busy week for P2/1. In Literacy P2 have been revising the ‘air’ or ‘are’ sounds. We made and read words such as care, fair etc., played roll and read and looked for words in a word search. P1 have learned the ‘b’,’f’ and ‘e’ sounds and the tricky word he. We played roll and read, practised our letter formation, made a butterfly and rainbow fish and found words that began with the letter f. In numeracy and maths this week P1 have been exploring friends of 10. We used gems to put spots on the ladybird showing friends of 10, we used ten frames to make the dot patterns for 10 and we sorted 10 cars into friends of 10. P2 have been continuing to learn about subtraction. We spent more time looking at fact families and writing the 8 facts. We also explored subtraction using a number line. In Wee Story Big Sound this week we went to space. We listened and responded appropriately to music and a few of us got to play the symbols or a drum and make as much noise as we could for the engines of the rocket.  With Miss Whigham we were focusing on our sense of touch. We sorted items as to how they felt using words such as smooth, soft etc. On Thursday we went to church for our harvest festival. We hope you have a lovely holiday. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Teria: “I enjoyed learning with Miss Maclachlan and being with my friends.”
