P2/1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 11th December 2020

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

Week ending 11th December

Christmas activities galore this week, but somehow also managing to fit in maths, literacy and PE as well. Fabulous effort from everyone.

Next week we will have our last Mandarin lesson from our lovely tutors in Shanghai. Did you know they come online to teach us at 9:15pm their time? Somehow they are always happy and cheerful even after a long day of studying.

Here are a few of our reflections from this week:

Teme – I liked learning the sign language for the 8th day of Christmas. It was hard to remember the moves but I liked trying to do it.

Freya – I liked the Panto today. It was quite funny because the pantomime dame, Dame Trott, was funny.

Luke N – I enjoyed French yesterday because it was cool learning about what they eat at Christmas. The panto was cool too and I liked the wordsearch sheet about it.

Labib – I enjoyed spelling yesterday. I enjoyed the writing a discussion about should Mandarin be compulsory in primary schools.

Jarrad – I liked the panto because the cow Buttercup blew the wolf away by the smell from its bottom!

Angus – I liked designing Christmas googles for  Rudolph the reindeer. I had lots of good ideas.

Leo – I liked spelling this week. I like how some words have silent k or silent b.

Blake – I liked the panto  – who doesn’t like a panto?!
