Primary 2/3 Weekly Update

It has been a short week but there’s been lots of learning going on in P2/3!

Literacy

In spelling we have continued to work on our P2 and P3 key words.  This week’s words for Primary 2 are they, two, we, when, with and you.  Primary 2 have now completed their key words so will move on to spelling patterns next week.   This week’s words for Primary 3 are like, little look, made, make, me, more and much.  Primary 3 will continue to work on key words next week.

We’ve had great fun working on our n, m and h in handwriting and everyone loved working with the chunky crayons.  Our focus this week was on using the correct starting point for each letter.

It has been a revision week in Word Boost this week when we’ve consolidated all of the vocabulary introduced in the last three books.  The children demonstrated a fantastic understanding of all their new words!

Numeracy

In maths Primary 2 have been working on numbers to 100 and P3 have been working on numbers to 1000.  We have had great fun ordering lots of numbers!  Everyone liked playing the Helicopter Rescue game to help us count on and back.

Primary 2 have been busy building numbers to 100 using cubes and Primary 3 enjoyed identifying numbers to 1000 on the smartboard using the Numbers to 1000 activity.

Topic

Everyone was excited to begin our new Science topic on the Senses this week.  We began by investigating our sense of touch – ask your child what they learnt about touch. The class worked together to create a report on their experiment and then illustrated it.  Look out for our report in our Talking Book.

Committees

The highlight of today was the start of Pupil Committees!  P2/3 loved heading off to do STEM, arts and crafts, mini glee, outdoor learning, one world, games club and book bugs then sharing their experiences afterwards.  What a lot of effective contributors we have in the class.

Have a lovely weekend!
