It has been another busy week in P2A where we have worked hard and been resilient when facing new concepts in Maths.
In Numeracy and Mathematics we have been learning about numbers to 100. We have looked at what the words ‘before’, ‘after’, ‘less’ and ‘more than’ mean. Using this knowledge and by practising our counting (forwards and backwards) we have been able to complete problems which use these words. We especially enjoyed using the ‘Splat Square’ as a class on the board to help us. It makes a funny noise when you press a number! We have also been helping each other out when some of us have found a question challenging. Miss Muir was really pleased to see this and the resilience we have had to overcome these challenges.
In Literacy we have been learning the digraphs ‘nk’, ‘ng’, ‘ou’ and ‘ow’. We have used the magnetic board on the Promethean board as a class for sounding out words.
We read the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch and loved that the lunch was put on a zip line to the lighthouse for Mr Grinling. Although, the seagulls kept eating his sandwiches so we thought of ingredients to put in a sandwich to keep the pesky seagulls away. We thought of mud, sand and slime just to name a few! We then wrote instructions of how to make our sandwiches.
During story and milk we read a story called ‘One Magical Day’. We enjoyed hearing about all the different animals on the farm and what they did when they woke up in the morning to when they fell asleep. Some of our favourite animals were in the book! We changed the tuff tray with farm animals who were in the story. We liked playing with them, pretending we were at a farm.
In R.M.E this week with Mrs Bergarnie we learned about the Hindu Festival of Raksha Bandan. This is a special day that is celebrated by lots of children, especially by brothers and sisters. We made cards and bracelets to give to our brothers and sisters. We enjoyed drawing and colouring in our cards and making the bracelets with bells.
We also met our P6 Pals on Thursday afternoon where we played games outside in the playground. We were very happy that it didn’t rain and stayed dry for us!
Thank you for reading our post and we hope you have a lovely September weekend.
