P2/1 have had another busy week learning lots. In Literacy P1 have learned two split diagraphs o-e and u-e and the tricky words one and anyone. We wrote words, built words on our magnetic boards and played roll and read. P2 have been focussing on the ‘-all’, ‘-ell’ and ‘-ill’ spelling patterns. We looked for them in a word search, wrote them in rainbow writing, made them on magnetic boards and played bingo.  In writing we wrote about our mums and what makes them special. In numeracy this week P1 have been working on adding and subtracting within 20. We played games and used Numicon and number lines to help us.  P2 have been looking for one more/less than, comparing and ordering numbers to 50.  We have used base 10 to help us. P1 have started learning a song and have taken part in a little drama in preparation for their assembly. P2 learned how to draw daffodils in art this week. We used our pencils to sketch and then we coloured them in using pens or pencils.  Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I enjoyed playing mystery numbers in Numeracy. I also enjoyed planting the cress seeds.”

“I enjoyed completing the word search of –all,-ill and –ell words.”

“I enjoyed sketching and then colouring in the daffodils.”

“I liked playing mystery numbers in Numeracy.”

“I enjoyed learning the new sounds o-e and u-e.”

“I enjoyed learning our new sounds.”

“I enjoyed Science and planting cress seeds.”

“I enjoyed planting the cress seeds with Miss Whigham.”
