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
