Good afternoon Primary 2/1. What a quick week that was.  Lots of learning has been taking place formal or informal. I have heard of river walks, bug hotels been added too, apples being quartered and bug hunts taking place.

P1’s Literacy learning has been focused around the ‘ai’ sound and the tricky word ‘there’. For literacy we have been writing our spelling words in rainbow colours, making ai words by cutting and sticking and playing popping balloons.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on fractions. We drew 3 circles, squares and triangles; we marked one shape a whole, one a half and the last one a quarter. We made our lunch or snack whilst exploring halves and quarters. Lastly we went on a fraction hunt either around our house or when out walking.

P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘th’ spelling pattern, learning about verbs, making predictions about the book we were reading or learning colours in French.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week for P2 was exploring number bonds to 20. We used ten frames, part whole model, number sentences and the counting on strategy to help us.

We have imagined we were under the sea this week and explored what we could see, hear, touch and how we would feel. Some of us have also made kaleidoscopes. In Science, we labelled parts of an insect.

Here is a selection of photos of the learning this week.

 

Have a lovely weekend.
