Good Afternoon. I hope you all had a lovely break. P2/1 have worked very hard in this short week. In Literacy, P1 have been practising their tricky words. We have been reading, writing and making words such as I, me and my. We played disappearing words. P2 have been looking at high frequency words (common words) such as little. We played roll and read, looked for words in a word search and put these words into  sentences.

In Maths P1 and P2 have been exploring 2D shapes. We have used shapes to make pictures, played shape bingo, played a shape monsters game on the smartboard, walked around the school on a shape hunt and coloured in shapes. We have discussed the properties of shapes for example a triangle has 3 sides and 3 points.

In Science with Miss Whigham we discussed Autumn. We spoke about the leaves changing colour, birds migrating and animals hibernating. We wrote about what we see in Autumn. In Drama, we explored using sign language to express how we are feeling.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I found it easy playing the roll and read with high frequency words.”

“I enjoyed searching for high frequency words in a word search.”

“I learned about squirrels making a store of their nuts for the winter. I did not know this before.”

“I found it tricky when practising writing the letter ‘g’.”

“I enjoyed colouring in the picture of the house and finding all the different shapes.”

“It was tricky writing the letter ‘g’.

“I enjoyed handwriting.”

“I found it hard writing the letter ‘p’.”

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Maclachlan
