Everyone enjoyed our Word Boost book, Baby Brain, and was able to use the boost words in games and in sentences. Our boost words were occasion, vast, local , popular, repeat and mumble.

In spelling we’ve been working on our P2 and P3 word lists. The P2 words were all, are, as, at , be and but and the P3 words were about, an, back, because, been, before , big and by. We had great fun creating spelling pyramids using these words.

Well done to all the children who have sent in pictures of what you have been doing. It is lovely to see all of your activities.

Draw a picture of yourself in the snow and write a few sentences underneath to describe your picture. You can bring it in to school on Monday.

Why not try some baking? I’m going to do some baking later and I’ll share my picture on Class Dojo. You’ll need to read your recipe and measure your ingredients.

Read lots of books or if you prefer listen to online audio books http://www.storylineonline.net/ Primary 3 children can also update their Reading Passports. Primary 2 children can keep a note of books read and we’ll add them to our class chart next week.

Stay safe in the snow.

Primary 2/3 Weekly News

What a busy week of learning it has been in Primary 2/3!

Everyone took their new reading books home and worked really hard on their literacy skills.

On Wednesday everyone was so excited to work with Mrs McCabe and Mrs Stewart to make fruit kebabs. We tried so many different fruits including greengages and pomegranates. We’ve already planned toppings for our pizzas next week – you can read our ideas in our talking book.

Writing was a focus for us on Thursday and we wrote about how we made fruit kebabs in Food Technology.

In IDL we continued to read The Enormous Crocodile and then thought about healthy and unhealthy foods for the crocodile.

In numeracy we have been working on numbers to 10, 100 and 100. Today we thought about how each of us learns best to help us plan our maths learning for the term. Some children like to use technology, some like to use counting cubes, some like to play games. We were all amazed by the range of ideas.

We were so excited when the UN Ambassadors arrived in our class today to share the fantastic news that we have been awarded the Level 2 RRS Award. Well done everyone!

In PE we worked on co-operative skills and learnt two new games – Video Games and Capture the Treasure.

Our Spanish focus this week was asking our friends what their name is in Spanish then telling them our names. We were so confident in our language skills!
