Primary 2

It has been such a quick week and we have done so much.  Read on to find out about our learning for this week.

Numeracy – We have been focusing on numbers to 100.  We have practised counting to 100 in ones (we have a little tune that we count along to, ask your child to sing it to you).  We have also practised counting in 10s to 100.  Our counting beads have really helped us visualise these numbers and the groups of 10s.  Challenge question : If I push 40 beads to the top of my counting string, how many would be at the bottom of the string?  Here is a link for a fun exercise programme which helps children count to 100 whilst exercising.

Literacy – We have started our Word Boost programme and read the book Who’s At The Door? The children all brought home their first Word Boost postcard to help you practise these words at home with some suggested activities (these are yours to keep so your child does not need to keep them in their folder).  We have also been revising the handwriting of the letters a, b, c, d, e and f.   For story writing this week we used the Charlie and Lola story I Am Actually Not Very Well as our theme and then wrote our own story about when we were not very well.  Next week we are writing story about getting our photograph taken (again based on a Charlie and Lola story Say Cheese).  You can talk about this with your child to help them prepare for story writing next week.

PE – In PE the children have been having lots of fun learning new games which we have to use our skills of spacial awareness to keep us safe during the game.  We have also started running the Ninian Mile this week, all good fun.

Well done everyone in P2 this week, you were all stars!

Have a lovely weekend.
