Literacy
In Phonics we have been learning about the au/aw sound. We wrote our own stories and tried to use as many ‘aw’ words as we could. We were using alphabet stampers to write words and revised some of our sounds using our new board games.
We continued our work on Katie Morag and learnt how to summarise a story. We read Katie Morag and the New Pier together. We then talked about the most important events and picked out 5 key events to write about. In our groups we all wrote a sentence and joined them together to make a summary chain. Mrs Miller also helped us create a life size Katie Morag picture for our classroom. We drew around Emma Turton and painted our picture of Katie.
We are really enjoying our class novel ‘The BFG’. We did a visualising task based on the description of the BFG. We look at adjectives to describe what he looks like and thought about what kind of person he was. Miss Mudd challenged us to give examples from the story to support our ideas.
Numeracy
We have been busy making patterns on our peg boards. We talked about our patterns being symmetrical and looked at how they repeat over and over again. We have continued our work on addition and looked at the story of 11 and 12. We used number bond rainbows to show the pairs that add together to make 11 and 12. We continued to practise our doubles and we are now super speedy with our recall.
Other
On Friday it was Children in Need and we all dressed up in spotty clothes to raise some money for charity. A big thank you to the Pupil Council and Mrs Gordon for organising the bake sale. We loved eating all of our goodies.
Well done to all of P2A for being class of the week AND winning the peg challenge. What stars! Hard work certainly pays off.
Have a lovely weekend
