Good afternoon Primary 2/1. I can’t believe that another week is over. Well done for your continued hard work. You are all stars. I have heard and seen this week of butterfly houses, making ham sandwiches, making brownies, making bird feeders, creating video stories about plastic pollution, making posters, exploring capacity of containers and exploring position and direction.
P1’s Literacy learning has been focused around the ‘ire’ sound and the tricky word ‘other’. For literacy we have been using a torch to flash write our spelling words, making our spelling words from objects around the house like Lego and playing roll and read.
In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on measuring capacity using non-standard units. We have been drawing containers and predicting which one would hold the most, looking at potions and saying whether the bottles were full, nearly full or empty, creating capacity quizzes of our own and filling containers and ordering them from smallest to largest.
P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘u-e’ spelling pattern, writing super sentences, finding 5 interesting words in our books, writing these down, finding the meaning of each word and using them in a sentence and using our senses to complete activities 1 and 2 from our observation alphabet outdoor learning booklets.
In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was on position and movement. We have been learning about and identifying full, half and quarter turns, clockwise and anticlockwise turns and describing where something is. We have completed worksheets, played games and answered true or false questions.
We explored plastic pollution and its impact on the environment. We wrote a story about plastic pollution and created posters to encourage people to recycle and protect our planet.
For science this week we have been exploring the life cycle of a frog. We listened to a song, wrote about the stages of the life cycle and created a frog headband.
Have a lovely weekend. Stay safe.
