What a busy week it has been in P2/3! Thank you to everyone who came along to Ninian’s Natter on Wednesday. It was lovely to see you all and for the children to share their Maths Week Scotland learning with you.
In Maths we have been investigating odd and even numbers. We loved using the Coconut Odd or Even game to help us learn. Do try it at home and let us know how you get on. Look out for odd and even numbers when you’re out and about and tell us if you spot any.
Our Maths Week Scotland investigations have kept us busy and we’ve explored lots of concepts including numbers to 100, shape, number bonds, money and problem solving.
In Literacy we linked our writing to Emotion Works and wrote about feeling excited. We thought about capital letters, full stops and connectives. Next week we’re writing about a time when we had to say sorry. Well done to this week’s Star Writers, Abigail and Blake.
In spelling our focus has been on learning our P2 and P3 key words. The P2 words this week were new, no, not, on, one , said, she and so. The P3 words this week were from, go, going, has, her, here, if and into. Everyone loved spelling their words with pipecleaners!
We loved reading The Cultivated Wolf in Word Boost and explored some fabulous new words – racket, improve, ignore, budge, emerge and ache. Can you use these words in a sentence at home?
In handwriting we’ve been reviewing the formation of the letters n, m and h. Can you find any creative ways of working on forming these letters? It may involve pencils, crayons or paint!
In topic we were so excited to finish our class novel, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, and rounded off our learning by compiling Owl Fact Files.
Next week we start our new topic on The Senses. Look out for updates on our senses experiments!
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan

Glad you found the update useful, thanks for your feedback. It was great to see so many parents at Ninian’s Natter.
Thank you for update. Sounds like they have had a great week. Joshua was so proud to show off his new classroom and all his work. Was lovely to speak with you both. I’m a little excited about next weeks topic, can’t wait to hear all about the experiments!
It was lovely to meet so many parents at Ninian’s Natter, we appreciated everyone coming along. Look out for updates on our Science topic 🙂
