Good afternoon Primary 2/1. I hope you are enjoying the sunshine. I have again enjoyed hearing all about the learning that has been taking place. I have heard and seen stories of Lego creations, walks, playing tennis, baking cookies, creating under the sea pictures plus lots more.
P1’s Literacy learning has been focused around the ‘oa’ sound and the tricky word ‘here’. For literacy we have been writing our spelling words in mud, sand or shaving foam, reading Wendy the Witch to identify the ‘oa’ words, drawing a picture and hiding our spelling words in the picture and searching for real and nonsense words.
In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on time. We matched o’clock and half past times on analogue and digital clocks, sung along with Jack Hartmann, made our own clocks using things around our house and played what’s the time Mr Wolf.
P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘a-e’ spelling pattern, learning about adjectives, reading a book then writing a book review and writing our own fairytale adventure stories.
In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was exploring adding by making 10, subtracting when crossing 10 and solving worded problems. We used our number bonds to 10, part whole models and counters to help us.
This week we have written our own poems about what we can see under the sea, made an under the sea collage using different materials and sorted creatures into their own habitats. In science we have created Minibeast fact files and recorded visitors to our bug hotels.
Here is a selection of photos of the learning this week.
As we move forward with our sharing of learning I would like to ask if you would think about what you would like to see on the blog. Think about what you would like to share with your classmates. What are you proud of? What was the highlight of your week? What was the funniest or best thing that happened? What was difficult? What was the best challenge that made you think?
I am looking forward to seeing what some of you might send in to share and why you have chosen to share it.
Have a lovely long weekend.
