Another productive and busy week for P2/1. This week in Literacy P1 have been learning the long vowel sounds or and air and the tricky words like and want. We have coloured in real and nonsense words, built words on our magnetic boards and played roll and read. P2 have continued to focus on tricky words. We looked for them in a word search, made them on magnetic boards, played bingo and wrote them in rainbow spelling. In writing this week we have started looking at writing instructions. We made a cat sock puppet and then wrote down the instructions on how to make a sock puppet. In Maths this week we have continued to explore time. We have been making o’clock and half past times on an analogue clock. We also learned what quarter past looked like. P2 have been reading analogue clocks and converting the time to digital. P1 have been reading and writing o’clock times on an analogue clock. In P.E we continued with gymnastics. We looked at different shapes, jumps, balances and rolls. We worked with a partner to create our own sequence. We had our Star of the Week circle time. Connie is our star of the week. We explored alliteration this week. Alliteration is when words start with the same sound for example swim-swam. We thought of words that started with the same sound as the animals in the story of There was a Wee Lassie who swallowed a Midgie. On Wednesday we had a visit from two Policemen who work in the road police unit. They spoke to us about the job of the police and we all got a shot on their motorbikes. Solomia even got to sound the sirens. On Friday we went to Primary 3’s assembly which was all about Chinese New Year. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
“I liked having a shot on the Police motorbike.”
“I enjoyed Primary 3’s assembly. I liked the song.”
“I enjoyed our visit from the Police.”
“I enjoyed learning about what the Police do to help us.”
“I enjoyed assembly and the visit from the Police.”
“I liked getting to turn on the siren on the Police motorbike.”
“I enjoyed reading There was a Wee Lassie who Swallowed a Midgie. Also I enjoyed learning about Habitats with Miss Whigham.”
“I enjoyed Primary 3’s assembly. My favourite part was the Lion Dance.”
“I enjoyed Primary 3’s assembly when we watched the video of the dragon.”
