Primary 2/1

P2/1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 13th March 2020

P2/1 have had another busy week learning lots. In Literacy P1 have learned two split diagraphs o-e and u-e and the tricky words one and anyone. We wrote words, built words on our magnetic boards and played roll and read. P2 have been focussing on the ‘-all’, ‘-ell’ and ‘-ill’ spelling patterns. We looked for them in a word search, wrote them in rainbow writing, made them on magnetic boards and played bingo.  In writing we wrote about our mums and what makes them special. In numeracy this week P1 have been working on adding and subtracting within 20. We played games and used Numicon and number lines to help us.  P2 have been looking for one more/less than, comparing and ordering numbers to 50.  We have used base 10 to help us. P1 have started learning a song and have taken part in a little drama in preparation for their assembly. P2 learned how to draw daffodils in art this week. We used our pencils to sketch and then we coloured them in using pens or pencils.  Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I enjoyed playing mystery numbers in Numeracy. I also enjoyed planting the cress seeds.”

“I enjoyed completing the word search of –all,-ill and –ell words.”

“I enjoyed sketching and then colouring in the daffodils.”

“I liked playing mystery numbers in Numeracy.”

“I enjoyed learning the new sounds o-e and u-e.”

“I enjoyed learning our new sounds.”

“I enjoyed Science and planting cress seeds.”

“I enjoyed planting the cress seeds with Miss Whigham.”

P2 Learning Reflection for W/E 13.3.20

This week P2 have been revising the spelling patterns for words with sounds beginning with fr-, ending with –ag and i-e. For writing this week the children designed hand wash posters. They had to list all of the steps clearly and draw pictures to go with each step. In numeracy the class have been making equal groups and adding them together. They have also been skip counting in 5’s. P2 also finished off capacity and volume, investigating which vessel holds the most water.

Isaac – I enjoyed making a hand wash poster. I did a goal with steps. You tell the people what to do when you wash your hands.

Ziva – I liked skip counting in 5’s.

Leo – I liked counting in 5’s. I can count to 200 in 5’s.

Nicholas – I liked counting in 5’s I can count to 100 in 5’s.

Austin – I liked doing the poster. We did a wash your hands poster. The steps are first wet your hands. Put some soap on your hands and scrub them together and sing happy birthday twice. Then you rinse the soap off. Get a paper towel and dry your hands off.

Then you wash the soap off your hands with the water. Then you get a paper towel and dry your hands. You turn off the tap with the paper towel. Then you put it in the bin.

Primary 1

P1 Weekly Reflection 13.03.20

This week we have continued learning about magic ‘e’ and how it changes the vowel in a word from its sound to its name.  We focused on making words with the o-e and u-e sounds and we worked on sorting real words from alien words.  We have also completed our sound assessments and Mrs Smith and Mrs Clyne are very impressed with the progress we are making with our reading.  Reading bags will not come home this weekend to allow us to sort the new reading groups and have the books ready for Monday.  In writing we were writing about why our mums are special and we wrote some lovely things.

In Maths we have been continuing with our number bonds and we were making kites to show the different number bonds to 10.  We have also been learning the months of the year and learned a wee song to help us remember the order of them.

In science we learned about springtime and we talked about it being a time of new life.  We learned about the lifecycle of a butterfly and we had to sequence the different stages of a butterflies life.

We started to practise for our assembly next week and have been learning some songs and making some video clips to share.  Unforunately we will no longer be inviting parents to join us at the P1 assembly.  While we are sorry this is the case we appreciate your continued support as we follow guidance surrounding the current circumstances.
