Welcome to Primary 2
Primary 2 is lots of fun! Please have a look at our class page to find out what we have been up to.
Literacy
Phonics
Each week we enjoy learning about our new sound and exploring different things that have this sound.
Shared Reading
Our class loves reading! We have been listening to lots of stories linked to our topic 'Houses and Homes' and have completed lots of different activities around them.
We have:
- Written sentences about our houses.
- Designed our own houses and talked about the materials needed to build them.
- Sequenced the story of Goldilocks and the three bears.
- Built 3D models using different materials and tested if the Big Bad Wolf could blow them down.
- Completed character hot seating activities.
Grammar
In Language and Grammar, we have been busy practicising writing our names, learning about sentence structure, rhyming words, pronouns and speech bubbles.
Writing
In writing, we have been revising how to write super sentences. We have learnt that every sentence needs a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop. We have completed lots of writing activities related to our topic 'Houses and Homes.'
Numeracy
In Numeracy we have been learning about the numbers 11-20. We have completed some really fun activties both inside and outside and learnt some songs to help us with our number formation.
We have been:
- using dough to make our numbers.
- writing our numbers in sand.
- using pipe cleaners to make our numbers.
- using iPads and the whiteboard to write our numbers.
- writing our numbers using chalk on our school playground.
- counting different objects to show our numbers.
- Creating number lines out of natural materials outside.
- singing fun counting songs.
- Exploring numbers before/after.
In our Numeracy topic work, we have learnt about 2D shapes, measuing length using non-standard units and telling the time. We love completing lots of fun activities during task time to develop our learning.
These activities include:
- Making 2D shape houses.
- Sorting 2D shapes using hula hoops.
- Going on a 2D shape hunt around the school.
- Comparing the length of objects.
- Measuring objects in our school playground using our 'measuring feet.'
- Making paper plate clocks.
Play-Based Learning
Our topic this term is 'Houses and Homes.' We have loved exploring this topic through play-based learning and have enjoyed investigating different types of homes around the world. Our class loves 'Welly Wednesday' as we have lots of fun playing outside in the garden. Have a look at how much fun we have had so far this term!
