Primary 2 Personal Learning Plans!!

 

We are very excited to be starting our new Personal Learning Plans (P.L.Ps) in Primary 2. We have lovely new scrap books in which we can display our targets and achievements. To help us have ownership of our new P.L.Ps we have been creating front covers using different media. We have coloured our names, drawn pictures on the Ipad to stick on the cover and taken photos too. We can't wait to start adding our targets too. 

 

 

 

 

 
                                                  
 
                                                 
 
                                                 
 
                                                 

Hard at work in Primary 2!

The Rainbow Fish

Today in Primary 2 we listened to the story of The Rainbow Fish and discussed how he made friends with the other fish by being kind and sharing his shiny scales with them.  In our class we want to be kind like the Rainbow Fish and share what we have with others.

Here is a display of our beautiful rainbow fish with their shiny scales.

Maths

In Primary 2 today we also practised our number bonds to 10 and to 20 by playing a co-operative game in partners.  We formed an inside and outside circle.  Each person had a card with a number up to 20 on it.  The inside circle turned round to meet their partner and showed them their number.  The outside partner had to read the number.  The inside person then had to ask, 'How many more do I need to make 10 or 20?'  After the outside person had answered they swapped round and the outside person showed their number and asked, 'How many more...'  Whilst doing this activity the children supported and praised each other.  When both partners had completed their questioning the outside children moved one place to the right to meet their new partner and repeat the process again.  The children really enjoyed this activity and all children were engaged and active in the task.  I as the teacher could monitor  the children's responses and give support where needed.

Another great day!

All the boys and girls in Primary 2 were working really well today.  In Literacy we revised our sounds and practised using them to sound out and spell words.  

Try this phonics game to help with your spelling.

Everyone tried hard writing their weekend news and it sounded like a fun weekend for all, with trips to East Links Family Park, Five Sisters Zoo and visits to the new Sainsbury's!

In Numeracy we practised our number bonds and doubling and halving numbers.  We also learned how to count in 5s.  We tried to beat last week's score in our "Beat That" challenge!

Here is a link to another game we tried this week.

In the afternoon we made friendship wristbands and wrote adjectives to describe our friends.  We had a hymn practice for our Mass on Wednesday to celebrate the Feast of St Cuthbert.  The singing was wonderful!

Well done everyone.  Remember to keep working hard!
