P4 – Week 23/11/20

Some things from this week.

Literacy

Spelling

We were practising the “aw” sound. There are 2 “aw” sounds, “aw” and “au”. We can find our “aw” sound at the beginning (awful), middle (yawn) or at the end (claw) of a word.

Reading

We continued reading our Ottoline and the Yellow Cat reading book. The boys and girls have been asked to read chapters 9 and 10 for homework via their Active Learn e-book.

Maths and Numeracy

2 digit addition with carrying / exchanging. We were revising how to complete these vertical calculations when the units total more than 10. There are 3 learn screen in the Maths folder on Education City that will help continue this learning.

Other Areas

Topic – We furthered our learning of the Jacobite’s and their defeat at the Battle of Culloden. The pupils began to make a drama with puppets they made to help people learn about this part of Scottish history.

Science – We continued our learning of the skeleton and the scientific names for some bones in the body.

Health and Wellbeing – We had an assembly from the NSPCC and it helped remind the pupils of their rights and how they can stay safe. The theme for this year was “Speak out. Stay safe!”.

The Week in Review in Primary 2

Hello again! We have had another busy week in Primary 2, we hope you enjoy some of what we did and are sharing with you below.

This week in our Maths and Numeracy we were looking at subtraction and addition, looking closely at the signs + and in our number sentences. We continued to practise our adding and taking away skills too and the Level 1 and Level 2 of this game were popular enough that Primary 2 wanted this linked on the blog!

In literacy we looked at the bl, cl and fl sounds pattern and we played sounds tennis by bouncing different sounds words to each other. We will look at the gl, pl and sl sounds to finish our ‘l blends’ next week so you might like to look at this game for all these sounds. We also looked at the story of Greyfriars Bobby and made pictures of the story to share with you in our own telling next week! Have a sneak peek of one of the pictures!

We met Buddy this week, who told us about Childline and their 08001111 number that we can call if we need someone to talk to. We enjoyed this game on the website that lets us build our own happy place as a room.

We were working on our Road Safety this week on our Daily Mile, please look forward to our film when it is finally ready.

Thank you for all your Road Safety work, Primary 2!. A special shout out to Eliska for your selfie of you wearing a helmet and Arwa for winning our helmet design competition!

Thanks again everyone! Have a lovely weekend and we shall see you next week too! We really enjoyed this song from our launch assembly for Have a Goal in our Building Resilience work with Skipper, please enjoy:
