P2’s First week back

Here are a small selection of photos taken on our visit to the Peel and St.Michael’s Church just before half term. The children were particularly interested by some of the information we heard about the church – Holes in the wall etc. Hopefully they will be able to explain.

We have been using the Outdoors for our focus this week and will be next week as well. We have been learning about the creatures who live in our Scottish woodlands.  This has been taken into Numeracy and Literacy.

In Numeracy we have been looking at 2D shapes and making our own out of twigs outside. The children really enjoyed this activity.

In Literacy we have talked about describing words and trying to use these in our writing. We have done acrostic poems on woodland animals.

The children have made woodland animals out of clay or plasticine and next week will be making habitats for their creatures.

Reminder – children to wear school sweatshirts and warm trousers (not jeans) and wellies or sturdy shoes. Thank you.

Have a good weekend and the children have identication sheets that they can use if you are out for a walk in the woods.
