P2 Weekly Update

It has been a chilly week but P2 have been ‘hot’ with their learning!

One way we have kept our learning warmed up is by doing our counting in 2s exercises.  Use the following link to try it out at home.

Mrs Currie’s favourite move is the “slide”.  Leave a reply to tell me your favourite move.

Also in numeracy this week we have been looking at sharing amounts equally into groups.  This will form part of our home learning next week.  Lots of practical practise using concrete material will really deepen our understanding before we move onto written equations, also putting the problems into context helps us to see the links with real life and how we will be able to use these skills in the future.

For our writing we have been working hard over the last three weeks to create and build an imaginative story. It all started two weeks ago when we invented a character and wrote a character description.  Then the following week we made a plan for our character’s story and wrote a brief beginning, middle and end.  Then this week we tried to up level our plans by adding in more detail such as adjectives and conjunctions to extend our writing.  It was a real challenge but we have all achieved the outcome which was to create an original imaginative story.

Our historical figure that we have learned about this week was James Young.  One of our local high schools is named after him so it was great to find out about why he is so famous and important.  Ask your child to tell you one fact about James Young.

Next week in class we are going to be joined by Mrs Lauder who is a student teacher and she will work with our class for the next five weeks.  We can’t wait to showcase our amazing learning to her.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Currie
