P2 Learning Reflection
Learning Reflection for W/E 8/11/19
Oops, I did not get round to posting this last Friday!
Another busy week in P2. Our phonics focus this week was the sounds: er, ‘ou’ as in shout and ‘ow’ as in flower. Our tricky words were: there & want. In maths we have continued to explore the properties of 3D shapes. The children enjoyed designing and making 3D junk models to help Max get back home from the land of the Wild Things! The children love the music workshops ‘Wee Story, Big Sound’ with Dave. This week they were all playing percussion to accompany the story of Josh and Granny. We have also started learning the songs for our Nativity!

Euan – I enjoyed the assembly, it was about poppies.

Leighton – I enjoyed making the 3D models. Me and Rory made a rocket. We used a cuboid a cylinder and we used a cone and that’s all!
