P2/1 have used their Author study of Julia Donaldson to link up their learning. They have all learned and written some facts about Julia Donaldson and then they used her story of The Stickman to help them develop their skill of retelling a story. We used her story Paper Dolls to help us strengthen and develop our fine motor skills, we have all created our own set of paper dolls which involved us having to fold the paper and then cut out one doll that when you opened it out it created a series of dolls holding hands.
In Numeracy we have been focusing on the number before and after up to 100. We have been using 100 squares to help us with this. When we use the 100 square we have discovered that we can see patterns within the numbers; the last column going down shows us the decade numbers etc.
In class we have been using “I Love Literacy” and “I Love Numeracy” practical tasks to help us consolidate our learning by using many different skills and learning techniques. Ask us to explain some of our tasks to you and how we complete these within our school day.
Have a lovely long weekend,
Mrs Currie
