We have had a busy first full week in P2B!
In Literacy, we have been revising the vowel digraphs ‘ai’, ‘ay’, ‘ee’, ‘ea’, ‘igh’ and ‘-y’. We wrote sentences containing ‘ai’ and ‘ay’ words, used our ‘ee’ digraph to spell words and used our magnetic boards and letters to build ‘igh’ and ‘-y’ words. Next week we will continue to revise more vowel digraphs.
In Numeracy and Mathematics, we have been learning about symmetry. Miss Harrison explained to us that a picture or shape is symmetrical when both sides match. We played a symmetry sorting game on our Promethean board and then we looked for lines of symmetry in different pictures.
This week we were given a special job from Mr Wells. He asked us to help make our school beautiful by helping with some of the displays. For our whole school Expressive Arts display, we created pictures using 2D shapes. We also learned about hot and cold colours and used these to add detail to our pictures.
In our infant area, our theme is ‘Building and Construction’ so we learned about a Scottish architect called ‘Charles Rennie Mackintosh’. We looked at some of the buildings that he designed and talked about the shapes and lines that we could see. Afterwards we created our own pictures in a similar style to Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We also learned that he made furniture so some of us created our own tables and chairs.
This week we had PE with Mrs Reid and with Miss Harrison on Tuesday afternoon. We played some warm-up games and then we looked at object control. We worked with a partner to practise our throwing, catching and kicking skills. Over the next few weeks we will continue to develop our movement skills.
On Monday the SPCA were in our school. For part of the day, they gave us two rabbits to look after. We listened to a story about two children who wanted pet rabbits and then we learned how to look after rabbits. We were fantastic vets and looked after the rabbits extremely well.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
