In class this week we have planned our new topic which is Katie Morag.
Here are things which we included on our plan
Wojciech “What does Katie Morag eat?”
Madison “We want to learn about the job of a postman or lady.”
Angelina “Can we find the island on a map?”
Alice “What does she wear?”
For International Week we have been communicating with our Spanish peers by using Spanish phrases to complete our all about me activity. We are excited for them to receive photos of our work. Also for International Week we have been learning about the food of Malawi and their school lunches which we have re-created on paper plates. Miss Boyes also told us all about Mary’s Meals and how they provide food for children in Malawi and other countries who can sometimes go hungry.
We have begun to learn about money. We will be using our knowledge of money to run Katie Morag Post office.
This week we learned how to count money to find the total amount. We are learning to count money within 20p. Here is a fun money game which we could play at home.

In numeracy we have started to learn about multiplication. This week we have been finding how many groups there are, how many objects in each group and the total number.
At our independent station we have been grouping the duplo and unifix cubes.
This would be a fun game to play at home.

Last week we completed a reading task where we had to fill in the missing words for a friendship recipe. This week we have wrote our own friendship recipes in class. Our aim was to use wider range of vocabulary. Miss Boyes said our friendship recipes were lovely to read and was impressed with all of the fantastic sentence openers we used.
In PE we have started our new Gymnastic block.
Madison “In PE we have been learning lots of different balances.”
Josephine “You have to try to hold your balance for 3 seconds.”
Lilly “My favourite balance was the bridge.”
Vanessa “Another balance which we practised was the shoulder stand.”
Poppy “I was practising the table top balance.”
It is important that we remember our PE kit for a Wednesday and a Thursday.
Lastly we would like to finish off our blog by saying that Primary 2 will really miss seeing Miss Smyth’s smiley face everyday! We wish her lots and lots of luck in her new job and we know that she will be an asset to her new school.
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P2!
