Good afternoon Primary 2/1. I hope you have had fun this week with your virtual sports day and some of the other fitness activities. I have seen lots of photos and videos of sports day, obstacle courses and wee exercise routines.

This week for literacy P1 have been revising spelling patterns. They have been using chalk or coloured pencils to rainbow write words, looking for picture clues and writing words, making a word search and playing toss the word with a partner.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on information handling and in particular tally marks, tally charts and bar graphs. We had to count the number of animals using tally marks, read the story Treasure in the Garden, collect our own treasures, make a tally chart to show our findings and create a bar graph using smarties.

P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘ai or ay’ spelling pattern, up levelling sentences, designing a new front cover for a book and building sentences using our spelling words outside.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was on making arrays, making doubles, making equal groups through sharing and grouping. We completed an array worksheet, played hit the button, played recognising equal groups game and completed White Rose’s Friday maths challenge.

This week we have read the story Olive the Sea Turtle, re-told the story to a family member, completed the life cycle of turtle and found out the differences between a turtle and a tortoise. For science this week Miss Whigham must have read our minds as she provided us with a PowerPoint about the life cycle of sea turtle and a worksheet to make our own turtle that tells us about each stage of the life cycle.

Good afternoon Primary 2/1. Another busy week has past. I have heard of and seen photos of lots of different learning this week such as making banana bread, taking part in science experiments, writing spelling words inside of shapes, having fair share tea parties, learning about question marks to learning tongue twisters.

P1’s Literacy learning has been focused around the ‘ear’ sound and the tricky word ‘once’. For literacy we have been writing our spelling words inside shapes, using musical instruments to help us sing our words, making beards and playing buried treasure.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus for this week was on sharing. We have been sharing food equally in order to feed the baby owlets, watching Elmo videos, holding tea parties for 3 toys or our family and sharing food equally and acting out the story of The Doorbell Rang.

P2’s focus in Literacy this week has been on the ‘oo’ spelling pattern, learning about and using question marks, using our senses to complete activities 3 and 4 from our observation alphabet outdoor learning booklets and learning the months of the year in French by watching a video then playing snakes and ladders.

In Numeracy and Maths the focus this week was on counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and adding equal groups. We have completed 2x table wheels, counting in 5s and 10s worksheets and took part in Friday Maths challenge which was provided by the BBC Bitesize and Premier League stars.

For our Under the Sea project we have been learning about different types of shells. We watched and listened to the Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson, tried to write our own riddles, learned the tongue twister she sells sea shells by the sea shore, drew pictures of shells, played Kim’s game and watched the video what are shells?

For science this week we have been exploring the life cycle of a chicken. We looked at a PowerPoint all about the different stages of the life cycle of a chicken, wrote about the life cycle of a chicken and made a chick hatching out of an egg.

Here are a selection of photos of the learning this week.

Have a lovely weekend.
