Primary 2a

Term 1 has been very busy for our class!

In maths we have been learning how to add and subtract up to 100 and tell the time to o'clock and half past. We really enjoy trying to beat each others scores on our favourite game, Stop the Clock!

Language has seen us learning lots of new sounds. We use them to spell words, to play games and during active spelling. Our favourite spelling activity is Buried Treasure Phonics on the Smartboard.

PE is lots of fun and helps us to keep fit and active. We have learned games such as Beans, Port Starboard and Tunnel Tig. Mrs Ayres has been teaching us throwing and catching skills with different sized balls and bean bags, while Mrs Smith has been teaching us lots of different movements in creative dance lessons based on Peter Pan.

Our topic on dinosaurs has been very exciting! We have learned all about their names and characteristics, such as which dinosaurs are herbivores and carnivores. In writing we wrote a great poem all about them!

Hopscotch Theatre came in to visit us and did a fantastic performance all about the SHANARRI indicators. The children learned 2 fabulous songs – We Got the Rights and Hello Blue Sky (SHANARRI).

We also had a visit from the Cash Cubs to promote saving money through the Renfrewshire Credit Union.

Mrs Smith, Mrs Ross and Primary 2a hope you have a wonderful October Holiday!
