Primary 2/1 Learning Highlights 15th November 2024

This week we have been continuing our work on money. We have been making different amounts to 10p using different coins. We are becoming more confident in identifying each of the coins. We also worked with a partner to write all the bonds for number 9.

We have been learning the sound ‘o’ this week and we have been practising reading and writing words with all the sounds we know. We wrote a super sentence and we remembered all our writing targets. For Wordboost we read the book How to Grow a Dinosaur and we were very confident in recalling the boost words and definitions.

In topic, we have been palaeontologists for the day. We used brushes to carefully move the sand to show the fossils. It was great fun!

In Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about how to be a good friend. Some of us wore odd socks on Tuesday as part of Anti Bullying Week.

On Friday, we went to Mass at St Peter’s. We had lots of compliments on how respectful we had been.

Here are some of our personal highlights this week:

Dhawan – I enjoyed playing with the blocks.

Dawid – I enjoyed playing with the games.

Harrison – I enjoyed playing in the water tray.

Niamh – I enjoyed drawing.

Vihaan – I enjoyed going to PE.

Freddie – I enjoyed playing on the IPad.

Congratulations to Dhawan who is our hot chocolate winner this week. Dhawan always tries hard in his tasks and is helpful. Congratulations to Danvith who is our Reading Champion this week. He has been trying hard to read all the common words and has been finding them in books during ERIC time.
