Primary 2 Week in Review

Welcome to our Week in Review for the 1st to 5th of March. As ever, Primary 2 continue to work hard in class and we wanted to share some of what we have been working on this week with you all!

In Literacy, we continued with our magic e pattern looking at the ‘o magic e’ pattern after revising the ‘oa‘ and ‘ow‘ sounds. We worked well to use ‘o_e‘ sound patterns in games and written work and we revised some more of our tricky words too.

World Book Day was on Thursday and we were able to share some of our favourite books using the visualiser. Several boys and girls are still keen to share some of their awesome books on Friday too. Here were some books from Maryam and Amelia that they were keen to share with us all. How lovely!

We also shared our book covers with each other before taking them home. Some boys and girls wrote stories to go with their book covers and they also got to share these. We have some keen authors in our class already!

In our Maths we continue to look at telling the time and are starting to ‘show’ the time – drawing the hands on an analogue clock and we made some clocks of our own to help us. We also thought about estimating time – guessing how many times we could write our names in a minute and then checking as well as guessing how long it would take us to get to the classroom from the playground.

In our Space topic work we are looking over the planets of our solar system and this was a song the class enjoyed about the planets and the Sun!

We also started to create the solar system in our art work – creating background with paints and starting to draw and colour our planets. Look forward to seeing the completed work soon!

Finally, we leave you with this song about families as we work through our RHSP programme about different types of family.

As ever, remember to have fun! We hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you next week!

Primary 2 Week in Review

Welcome back all to our Week in Review format! We have had a busy week back and it has been lovely to see everyone and to see so many smiling faces!

This week in Literacy, we continued with our magic e pattern looking at the ‘i magic e’ pattern after revising the ‘-y’ and ‘igh’ sounds. We worked well to use ‘i_e‘ sound patterns in games and written work and we revised some more of our tricky words too.

We made some book covers as part of the Authors and Myths work on Wednesday and we also shared favourite authors or legends in class. Thank you for some fantastic contributions!

We have continued with Number of the Day work in class and are starting to look at Time. So far this week we have been looking at reading the time by looking at o’clock and half past on analogue clocks and matching these to their digital times.

Space is our new topic and we started by looking at the Sun as the star of our solar system. We were thinking about how important the Sun is to us on Earth.
We created our own astronaut characters and space rockets as we think about where in space we might really like to go. We loved looking at this size comparison of different things in the universe!

Upcoming and reminders:

Homework

Homework resumes as normal next week. Please do ensure you have returned your homework jotter and pack.

Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood education programme

Please find below the home learning information sheet about the Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood education programme Primary 2 will be starting shortly.

We will be focusing on relationships we make and develop, looking at our families, and how all our families are different, what makes us unique, making and having friends and what makes people alike and what makes us different (diversity). Several aspects are also covered by, or otherwise overlap with, our Building Resilience programme work.
