Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely break. It has been a short but busy week in Primary 2/3.
Topic
We made a start on our new topic, “Our Local Community of Livingston” by investigating our needs and wants and creating posters. We then made videos to share our opinions and developed our digital literacy skills by using the iPads. There was lots of great discussion and sharing of ideas.
Literacy
Everyone enjoyed spelling this week as each child chose the words they found particularly tricky to work on. There was a choice of activities – word building with straws, finger painting the words using autumn colours of paint, creating word searches and working with whiteboards. Lots of great individual learning went on.
We have continued to build the reading culture in P2/3 and everyone loved BEAR time today. Don’t forget to bring your bear every Friday! The concentration and focus in the class is lovely as all the children read to their bears.
Maths and Numeracy
In numeracy this week we have worked on our addition skills and learnt to write lots of number words. Everyone liked playing the Fruit Splat game to help us read number words quickly and we worked on ordering numbers on the net books using a Topmarks game.
Have a lovely weekend from Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan.
