Numeracy
In Numeracy, we have been learning all about subtraction and addition and how to count forwards and backwards. We have been listening to songs, rhymes and playing games. For subtraction and addition, we have been using a variety of manipulatives to support our learning.
We have been:
In our Numeracy topic work, we have also been learning about data. We love to collect data using tally charts and then create block graphs based on our findings. P3 have been then answering questions about the data they have collected. We love to do these activities in lots of fun ways during task time to develop our learning.
We have been:
Literacy
Phonics
We have been recapping all our sounds from last half term, including the qu, th, ch and sh phonemes. We have then been learning new digraphs including the, th, ng, ai and ee phonemes. We have then been applying our knowledge to segmenting and blending words with these phonemes. We have also been using our mnemonics to help us form our graphemes correctly.
Writing
We have based our writing this half term around our topic of safe and sound. We have learnt all about people who help us and how to keep safe. This has included learning about fire fighters and police officers. We have also explored how to keep safe in the dark and how to keep save in the event of a fire. We have created posters, leaflets, tree maps and bubble maps. We have then used these resources to write some fantastic sentences.
Shared Reading
In P2/3 we love reading. We have been enjoying listening to lots of stories related to our topic 'Safe and Sound' and have completed lots of tasks around them.
We have:
Grammar
In Language and Grammar, we have been revising our learning from P1/2. We have been busy doing lots of work on capital letters, rhyming words, pronouns, speech bubbles and alphabetical order.
Play-Based Learning
We love our daily time of Play-Based Learning both inside and outside the classroom envirnoment. We have really enjoyed exploring our topics through PBL.
