In Maths this week we have been learning about symmetry. On Monday we enjoyed playing symmetry games on the laptops with our P6 pals. On Tuesday we worked with a partner to devise a symmetrical dance to music. Miss Prince was very impressed with our creativity and understanding of how to create a mirror image. We also had a go at completing some symmetrical drawings and making patterns with items from the tinker tray.
Our new topic is the Seaside. We looked at and labelled the different features of the seaside and sorted them into natural and made by humans. We are in the process of painting a seaside scene; we will be adding our artwork to this over the next couple of weeks.
To go with our Seaside theme; we now have a rock pool in our classroom 🙂 the children have loved playing in this. If you have anything at home we could add to the rock pool that would be super.
In reading we are working on reading with fluency, remembering that we don’t need to sound out our sight words as we just know these. Our word of the week was ‘this’. We can all sight read ‘this’ word now 🙂
Miss Prince’s Phonics group have been learning words with the ee/ea sound in. These are trickier than they sound because we have to remember which spelling to use for each word.
We celebrated International Languages Day by learning to say hello in lots of different languages. We had lots of fun learning the actions with a partner!

On Monday we will be starting to learn about postcards – if you have any at home that we could borrow to look at that would be a great help.
Have a lovely weekend when it gets here!
Love P2A and Miss Prince x
