Hello and thank you for taking the time to read P2A’s blog. We’ve had a very busy first full week back so we have lots to tell you about!
In PE we used our imaginations and went on a jungle adventure, we became explorers – jumping over logs, swinging through trees, running away from tigers and swimming through rivers! We moved around the space sensibly and followed the instructions.
In Maths this week we have been continuing our work on numbers to 100, focusing on numbers before, after and in between. The Big Numbers Song is helping us gain confidence when counting to 100:
In Literacy we have been revising the sounds and common words we learnt in Primary 1. In Giraffe, the Pelly and Me, Billy opened his own sweet shop full of scrumptious sweeties! We decided to have a go at designing and describing our own sweets, we had fantastic ideas and we were very confident when sharing our ideas with the class.
Our outdoor learning focus is woodland animals, we have decided we would like to learn more about animals that hibernate. We looked at animal habitats and did line drawings showing woodland animals in their habitats:
In P2 we develop our computer skills. Our computer time is on a Monday afternoon, this week some lovely P3 children came to help us. We learnt how to carry a laptop safely and how to open the login page using Ctrl-Alt-Delete (this is tricky!) If you have a computer at home it would be great to practise this.
We are loving having the painting out during freeplay!
Reading books are now up and running, new books will be given out on Mondays and should be handed in on Fridays.
Homework starts next week. Homework will also be handed out on Mondays and should be handed in on Fridays. In homework jotters you will find suggested reading questions, spelling activities, Maths activities and a word list. We recommend completing one reading question, one spelling activity and one maths activity per week but this is very flexible. Children will get a new word list each week.
Have a lovely weekend,
Love P2A and Miss Prince x
