Welcome back for Term 4 everyone - the final term in P2 before becoming big P3s! 😊 We've had a busy start to term for literacy practising our sounds tr and sc and story writing. For numeracy we were working on our numbers before, after and between 100, mental strategies and grid references. Other highlights of the week included starting our cherry blossom art by creating Chinese vases and branches, practising running for sports day and Baillie Cup, team games and discussing meanness online for digital citizenship. To cap off the week we practised our Rights Respecting song (see photo for our Hip Hooray ending 🤩).

Another busy week in P2A. We continued timetables this week in Numeracy, counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We also worked on Venn Diagrams for data handling. We concentrated on the sounds br and cr for phonics. For our Healthy Me topic we focused on Effects of Exercise, 'People who look after me' and 'I've got this' (resilence and wellbeing). We created some spring flower art as we head into Spring. P6B also visited us on Friday for a Red Nose Day quiz and the pupils designed their own red noses for the competition set by P7. 

P2A continued their timetables this week in Numeracy, counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We also worked on questions we use, ask and answer for data handling. We concentrated on the sounds pl and sl for phonics. For our Healthy Me topic we focused on personalities and people who look after us. We also read The Dot in class by Peter H Reynolds and created artwork from our very own dots. 

P2A have had a busy week! We finished our emotion art – having read The Colour Monster we matched colours to our emotion faces from last week (Mental Health Week). The class used water colours to create their backgrounds.  

In PE we did team games on Tuesday and continued our circuit training on Friday as part of our Healthy Me project. We focused on jumping and stretch exercises including sit-ups, bunny hops and compass jumps.

P2A continued their phonics work this week with the o-e magic 'e' sound. We worked on mental maths strategies and started our data handling topic in numeracy ahead of our next high quality assessment. We started looking at names of body parts in our Healthy Me topic. As part of Mental Health Week we created our class motivation chant and did an exercise on how our emotions are like the weather (in Scotland - four seasons in one day!). 

Welcome back for Term 3 - Miss Melville and Mrs Morrish are looking forward to lots of exciting learning with class P2A this term. Please see the learning overview for more details, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
