P2 This Week

We have been busy learning the order of the alphabet this week- we sorted out jumbled up letters and sang and danced to the alphabet song. 

We have been learning to weigh in our Christmas Parcel Office, where we sorted parcels into heavy and light sacks.

We have been working hard on our Nativity and are looking forward to performing it next week ( please have all costumes in on Monday for the dress rehearsal).

In science, we learned about the Moon and created pictures from pastels. We then added facts about the moon that we had learned.

P2 This Week

P2 have had a busy week. In Literacy we have been learning to spell words with the ‘ur’ sound. We have been working on writing capital letters E and F as well as alphabetical order activities. As part of book week the children enjoyed sharing their favourite books from home. We also decorated our classroom door in the style of a book cover taken from the novel we are reading at the moment, ‘The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark’ by Jill Tomlinson.

In maths we have continued our work on subtraction recording our answers on a number line. We have been measuring objects that are shorter or longer than 1 metre.

The children also had lots of fun making their hot chocolate reindeers for our Christmas Fair.

Primary 2 this week

We had great fun learning outdoors this week! We went a walk through the village with Miss Whigham and stopped to look at the war memorial at the church. With Mrs Fraser, we went on a nature walk and collected as many different autumn colours as possible.

We continued learning about subtraction and longer and shorter in maths. In P.E. we were developing our ball skills ready to learn handball. In science we learned about Day and Night and how the Earth revolves around the Sun. We have started having spelling tests on a Friday- these will focus on our words for the week. Thank you to everyone who handed their homework in on Thursday. Have a lovely weekend:)

P2 – this week

In Literacy we continued our work on magic e with a focus on o-e words. We also wrote poems about our senses. In numeracy we were learning the strategy of counting on from a given number in addition. Also making links in our learning. If 7 and 2 makes 9 then 17 and 2 makes 19 and so on. We had fun creating 3D shapes.

The children also enjoyed a  yoga session in PE using Cosmic Kids yoga.  We tested our taste buds to see how good we were at detecting sweet, sour, bitter and salty flavours. On Thursday we went to the church for the Harvest Service and Arya, Poppy and Holly read the poem beautifully, while we all enjoyed singing.

P2 Learning Reflection

This week, some of the children in Primary 2 enjoyed their very first session with their Primary 7 reading buddies. The children will read on a Monday and Thursday each week. Thank you to the children in Primary 7 for doing a great job!

The class are really enjoying their science topic about the five senses and have participated well in all our activities throughout. Here are a few of the children’s reflections about their learning:

Our sense of touch helps us to feel if things are hard or soft. (Akruti)

In the middle of your eye there’s a pupil and it helps you to see. (Holly)

Your tongue helps you to taste.(Maddie)

Your senses work with your brain. (Cali)

Our senses help us to keep safe. (Arya)

In Numeracy we have counted number sequences to 50, explored place value using tens and ones and added within 20. Through Number Talks, we have been sharing the different ways we work out addition problems.

In Literacy we have been learning about ‘magic e’ with a focus on the ‘i-e’ sound. We sang the magic e song and completed some word building activities. We learned that magic e makes the vowel sound say it’s name.

In Art, we looked at and discussed pictures of Autumn scenes and colours. We then explored colour mixing to create our own Autumn paintings. We also completed our Christmas card designs.

P2 this week

 We have been showing compassion through our acts of kindness this week. We have held open doors, shared toys and resources, helped friends when they are hurt and cared for others.

We have learned about our sense of touch and created feely pictures to demonstrate our understanding of the words; hard, soft, rough and smooth.

In numeracy we have added within 20 and furthered our knowledge of 2D shape.

On Thursday we had fun dancing with the instructor from the charity Lepra which we have been fundraising for.
