Hello everyone,
PE have been busy getting stuck in with all different types of learning. From rocket experiments to coding, P2 have been engaging with work across the curriculum. Here is an update on what we have been learning:
Literacy
Phonics: We are continuing to progress through our sets of sounds. We are now looking at ‘special friends’ sounds (diagraphs); these are sounds that have 2 letters in them (for example: ch, th, sh, qu, ng and nk). We have been practising reading and writing words with these sounds.
Writing: we are continuing to develop our sentence writing using colourful semantics. We use coloured cards to build a sentence in the correct order. Here is an example of what this looks like:
We are also learning to check our work for capital letters, finger spaces, full stops, and cursive writing.
Numeracy
We are continuing to look at place value to 100 and beyond to challenge. Right now, we are focusing on filling in number tracks, forwards and backwards, to 100.
We are also working on ordering numbers from biggest to smallest, and from smallest to biggest, using our knowledge of hundreds, tens and ones to help us.
Maths
We have been exploring 2D and 3D shape, looking at shape names, and exploring their features. We are now moving on to pattern, and looking at repeating units:
Topic – Space
We are continuing to explore space. We have been looking at galaxies and their different structures, and we are beginning to learn about rockets and space stations. P2 have been enjoying playing the role of astronaut, and co-ordinating space exploration in mission control!
Photos
P2 have been up to so much in school. Here are some pictures of what we have been doing!
