Welcome to Primary 2!
In our class, we really enjoy engaging in practical, hands-on tasks that allow us to work together, use our imagination and develop our thinking skills.
In term 1, we have been busy delving into our new World Around Us topic 'Home Sweet Home'. Recently, we enjoyed a whole class trip to our local village where we studied lots of different houses. A massive thank you to our local Spar and Chestnutt Animal Feeds who kindly stopped us on our tracks to gift us with sweets, notebooks and pens.
Within play based learning, we have enjoyed role play activities in our home corner. We had great fun taking on a roll at the Zoo and Bushvalley Building Site. Similarly, we have engaged in water and sand play, table top activities, ICT tasks and small-world activities.
Welly Wednesday is our favourite day of the week where we spend time learning outdoors. So far, we have used our mud kitchen to make lots of fantastic reciepes and had great practice using our gross-motor skills on our climbing frames. Our bikes and trikes provide lots of excitment whilst allowing children to develop their negotiation skills and road safety awareness.
Within the area of Literacy we have been:
- Learning Jolly Phonic individual sounds and digraphs.
- Building CVC and CCVC words.
- Identifying ryhming words.
- Counting syllables.
- Writing instructions.
- Writing letters.
- Reading a variety of books based on our Home Sweet Home topic.
Within Numeracy, we have been:
- Recognising, forming and counting numbers to 20.
- Introducing our number bonds to 10.
- Learning 2D and 3D shapes.
- Measuring length and weight.
- Learning how to tell o'clock time.
Have a look at how much fun we have had in the photographs below.
