Another busy week in P2.<\/p>\n

This week was Inspirational Maths week.\u00a0 One of the inspirational lessons we completed was \u201cPiano Fingers\u201d.\u00a0 For this we numbered our fingers and then had to use the correct finger to press the numbered piano keys.\u00a0 This inspired us to think about how we use our fingers to help us count.\u00a0 When we count with our fingers we do not always just count in ones.\u00a0 Sometimes we make each finger worth ten and count up to 100.\u00a0 We use little tunes to help us do this, ask us to show you.<\/p>\n

Here is a picture of us all trying to find different ways to make five with our fingers, the challenge was to try not have the same combination of fingers as the person next to us!<\/p>\n

In our writing we have been focusing on using connective (joining words) in our sentences. \u00a0The two connectives we have discussed are “and” and “because”. \u00a0We learned a little story to help us learn how to spell “because”,<\/p>\n

This week we also had our special feast day Mass to celebrate St. Ninian. \u00a0We learned the story of St Ninian and how he grew up and travelled from Scotland to Rome to become a Bishop. \u00a0We even had an extra long playtime as a treat! \u00a0Luckily it was dry!<\/p>\n

For handwriting we have focused on learning how letters can join using lead in lines and flicks. \u00a0We have practised l, i, t, c, o and a. \u00a0From these letters we now know how to join our writing for the word “cat” and “cot”. \u00a0As a challenge, what other small words can you make using these letters and try to join them up when you write them. \u00a0Good luck!<\/p>\n
