Although a shorter week, it has been a busy one and we still managed to fit in lots of learning.
In Literacy, P2 continued the Read Write Inc (RWI) Pre-Spelling programme in preparation for beginning the RWI Spelling Programme in Primary 3. This week we have learned that verbs are doing words and practised adding the endings –ing and –ed to different verbs. P1 continued to learn their set 3 sounds and enjoyed using the magnetic boards to build words with the ‘ure’ and ‘are’ sounds. We have also been practising our red words to help us build up our fluency in reading.
In Maths, P2 have been learning about arrays. We know that arrays have rows and columns and the children enjoyed making and discussing their own arrays using counters to help them. P1 have been skip counting in twos and working out the number before, after and in between.
In PE this week, we have been developing our tennis skills.
In Science we have been about the life cycle of the butterfly and the frog. We were super excited when the staff and children from the ELC came along to our classroom to show us their butterfly farm!
On Thursday, Primary 1 enjoyed some time in the playground with their Primary 7 buddies and look forward to meeting up with their buddies again next week.
This morning we listened to P2’s assembly about ‘Under the Sea’.
Here are some of the children’s highlights this week:-
Rory “I liked the Wellerman song at the assembly.”
Dylan “I liked learning about the life cycle of a frog.”
Poppy “I liked learning about the different kinds of spiders and I learnt that not all spiders do webs. I also liked learning about all the different kinds of sharks.”
Kaylan “I liked learning about spiders. The brighter the spider the more poisonous.”
Ethan “I liked the life cycle of the minibeasts. I liked all of them.”
Theo “I learned that there is a tunnel spider and when it hears something above it’s tunnel, it jumps out and grabs it.”
Cara “I enjoyed using the set 2 sounds to make words.”
Cooper “I learned the cycle of a frog.”
Hunter “I know that not all spiders make webs.”
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
