Good Afternoon. A busy week for P2/1. In Literacy, P1 have been revising the sounds already learned.  We made words on our magnetic boards, played roll and read, played the snail race game and taught ted how to write w or th words. P2 have explored real and nonsense words with a variety of different sounds. We completed a real or nonsense worksheet, read our reading books and made words with long vowel sounds on our magnetic boards.

In Maths P1 have continued to explore subtraction. We have completed subtraction worksheets, played games and used Numicon to help us with subtracting from 10.  P2 have been adding to 20 to colour then reveal a hidden picture and looked at comparing objects such as cookies or counters within 50.

On Tuesday we filmed our Nativity in the morning. Miss Maclachlan is very proud of us all. For our Outdoor Learning this week we learned about fire safety and made s’mores with Mrs Smith. We all had great fun. In science with Miss Whigham we were investigating the seasons. We learned about the weather in each of the seasons. We had to match the seasons with the months of the year. On Friday we got to watch the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I enjoyed making s’mores. They were delicious.”

“I liked making the s’mores as we got a shot of trying to make a spark using a flint.”

“I enjoyed filming the nativity because I got to be a narrator.”

“I enjoyed filming the nativity and being an angel.”

“I liked making the s’mores.”

“I liked making the s’mores too. I also enjoyed doing the nativity.”

“I liked the pantomime. The part with the giant was my favourite part.”

“I enjoyed watching Jack and the Beanstalk. My favourite part was with the cow Buttercup.”

“I liked when Buttercup the cow was sticking his head out of the window. It was the funniest part of Jack and the Beanstalk.”

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Maclachlan

Good Afternoon. P2/1 have been working hard again this week. In Literacy, P1 have been learning the ‘w’ sound and the diagraph ‘th’ and the tricky word was. We made words on our magnetic boards, coloured pictures that began with ‘w’, taught ted, played roll and read, cut out and made ‘th’ words and drew pictures of something beginning with ‘w’. P2 have explored the last 25 of the first 100 Fry’s common words. We made the words on magnetic boards, wrote the missing words from the sentences on a white board and played our own board games.

In Maths P1 have been exploring subtraction We have used counters and ourselves to explore subtraction. We played dice subtraction where we had to roll two dice and then take the small number away from the bigger number. We also completed subtraction worksheets. P2 have been exploring numerals and number words to 20 and place value to 20 and beyond. We have played snap with numerals and number words, made numbers using base 10 materials, explored one more and one less than using the base 10. We completed a two sided worksheet where we had to say how many tens and ones were shown.

In Science we have been learning about the four seasons. The seasons are winter, spring, summer and autumn. We have continued to practise our nativity and had a go of acting in front of the green screen. Our nativity will be filmed next week. For art we painted our salt dough ornaments and created our sign for our advert. Our salt dough ornaments are £1 each. This week we have practised signing the second day of Christmas for the 12 Days of Christmas.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I enjoyed painting my salt dough ornament”

“I enjoyed making my salt dough ornament and practising for our nativity.”

“I enjoyed learning the sound ‘th’.”

“I liked learning the cheeky sound ‘th’.”

“I enjoyed painting my ornament.”

“I enjoyed our Christmas enterprise. I also enjoyed practising the nativity.”

“I enjoyed being the narrator in our nativity.”

“I enjoyed learning how to sign the second day of Christmas.”
