P2/1 Learning Reflection Week Ending 13th December 2019

In Literacy P1 have been continuing to revise all of set 1 sounds. We have written words to match pictures and played roll and read. P2 have learned the ‘tious’ or ‘cious’ sound. We wrote words on whiteboards and looked for them in a word search. In writing, we wrote a letter to Santa. In Numeracy this week P1 continued to explore subtraction. We have played four in a row and used Numicon to help find the difference. P2 continued to explore place value using the base 10 materials. We continued with rolling a double dice, writing down that number then splitting it into tens and ones. In P.E we did a Christmas themed yoga. We had our Star of the Week circle time. Gabriel is our star of the week. In art we made split pin Christmas puppets. On Tuesday and Wednesday we performed our nativity Fishing for Stars. We thoroughly enjoyed performing in front of an audience. Miss Maclachlan is very proud of us for our fantastic performances. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

P2 Learning Reflection for W/E 13.12.19

Isaac – I enjoyed doing numbertalks we are breaking each number into its place value. So for 21+32 the 21 has two tens and the 32 has three tens and so add two tens and three tens that makes five tens that’s 50. 21 has 1 one and 32 has 2 ones that makes 3 ones. So 50+3= 53.

Subhan – I liked the Nativity show. I was a narrator I had to speak to the audience, I felt good.

Poppy – I liked doing the Nativity I was the enormous star in it. I liked walking around the room, everyone had to follow me. I was a little bit nervous but I was happy to perform.

P1 Week beginning 2.12.19

Thank you to all the parents who came to our music performance on Wednesday of this week.  It was so lovely for the children to share with you what they have been learning. The children had so much fun working with Dave Trouton on their listening and talking skills, and exploring instruments.

 

The children have been revising letter sounds this week as we have finished our first set of sounds, next week we begin the first set of complex sounds.

The children made some posters for our Nativity performance next week, here is a sample.

The children orally made up a story this week, which they will write and illustrate in their own books over a few weeks.

In maths they have been adding and subtracting within 10, using a variety of concrete materials, and some quiz questions about odd one out.

 

The children have been working on their sock snowmen over the last few weeks and this week checked that their eterprise gifts were ready, no snowman had lost an eye or nose before the Christmas fair!  They are excited to have them ready to sell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some of the children’s comments about their learning:

FW – I liked putting the pom-pom on my snowman.

IG – liked making the sock snowman although it was difficult to tie the scarf round his neck.

PP- the performance with Dave was fun.

SS – I liked playing my instrument.

IG– I was a bit nervous at the music with Dave,  but I’m ok now.  GG – me too.

And RC was so happy to receive her pupil of the week certificate

P2/1 Weekly Learning Reflection week ending 6th December 2019

What a quick but busy week for P2/1!  In Literacy P1 have been revising all of set 1 sounds. We have made words on our magnetic boards, sorted ng and nk words, wrote ch and sh words and played roll and read. In writing, we designed a poster advertising our nativity ‘Fishing for Stars’. P2 learned the ‘tion’ sound. We searched for tion words in a word search, played roll and read and made words on the magnetic boards. In Numeracy this week P1 have started exploring subtraction. We have played dice subtraction, four in a row and completed a worksheet. P2 have been exploring place value using the base 10 materials. We have been partitioning numbers into how many tens and ones. We rolled a double dice, wrote down that number then split it into tens and ones. In Science we have been learning about the constellations. In P.E we continued to practise our dance for our Christmas party. On Wednesday morning we performed the story of the lion and the mouse with Dave. We thoroughly enjoyed performing in front of an audience. We had our Star of the Week circle time. Hamish is our star of the week. Practise for our nativity is continuing and we can’t wait to perform it next week. Our nativity performances are Tuesday 10th at 2.30pm and Wednesday 11th at 10am.  On Friday we went to P4’s assembly. It was all about St Andrew. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
