Today P2 pupils made their very own Easter 🧺 Baskets. They decorated them and added their own personal touches, very colourful creations! 🐰 

Narrative Writing ✍️

We have focusing on our independent writing skills over the last week. We discussed how we need to

incorporate characters, a setting and an interesting plot to write a story. 
We introduced the topic by getting the pupils to work in groups and select 4 character pictures and a setting. They then worked in teams to develop an interesting story. 

For the plenary of our lesson each team verbally presented their story to the class! 📚 Superb presentation!
👏👏👏

For our next Literacy lesson we focused on the importance of  ‘Character Profiles’ - behaviour, personality, traits and what they look

like.  P2 worked in pairs and individually to develop their own ‘Character Profile’. 

PDMU

We are all unique. In class we have been discussing differences and similarities between our friends. We talked about physical differences ie. hair colour, eye colour and height but also discussed how we are similar. The children in P2 came up with lots of ideas. ‘We like similar games and sports ⚽️ and favour certain subjects in school 🏫’. These are all the types of things that make us unique. 
P2 pupils then designed their own unique, creative Elmer for our class display… 👀…

 STEM

We carried out an experiment in class to find out if certain objects would SINK of FLOAT. We each made our own prediction and then tested it to find the correct answer.  The children were extremely enthusiastic and really enjoyed the experiment…. 👀…

VENN DIAGRAMS

This week we introduced Venn diagrams and made our own. We sorted different types of animals - farm animals, pets or both. 

WORLD BOOK 📚 DAY 2023
 

ELMER

LITERACY

This week we have been learning our CAPITAL LETTERS  👀 

NUMERACY 

2D and 3D SHAPES

Primary 2 are working hard to recognise shapes by their properties. 

       🍬 M & M Lesson 🍬 

Today we taught a lesson using M&M sweets to show children that you can’t judge friends by how they look.  I offered the pupils 2 boxes - 1 crinkled, shabby box and the other nicely wrapped in shiny paper.  Although the shiny box looked nice in the outside it was filled with rubbish and orange peels inside. However the shabby looking box 📦 had  yummy M & M ‘s that they all got to enjoy!  A value lesson for all! 

 PLAY BASED LEARNING 

This weeks we began our new topic ‘THE DEEP DARK WOOD’. Primary 2 have had lots of fun engaging in our new play based activities. Take a Look 👀 ...

Hi 🤗everyone 🤗, it is so hard to believe that we have reached the final week of our summer term!  What a crazy year it has been. 

This week I would encourage all P2 children to focus on their READING.  A fun, exciting and free way to enhance and develop these   skills is through our Reading Challenge! 📚 

The Reading Agency and Libraries have announced their 2020 Reading Challenge!

This is a great opportunity to promote reading for children of all ages throughout the summer! Reading is such an important skill for all children and should feel fun and exciting! Therefore, we are asking you all to take part in 'The Silly Squad!'

'The Silly Squad' will focus on funny books, happiness and laughter! It will be run through a safe online platform which allows for exciting interactive reading experiences, including eBooks and audiobooks. There will be online activities, videos, quizzes, games and rewards to unlock along the way. Every child who completes their own Challenge will receive a downloadable certificate.

When creating an account, select Libraries NI as your local Library authority!

Hello  🤗Everyone🤗

I hope you are all safe and well. Here is the focus for this week:

NUMERACY

Venn Diagrams - Watch the Power Points below and sort the shapes/sweets using the Venn Diagram.

LITERACY:

This week we are going to look at using the correct punctuation in sentences. We need the correct punctuation to ensure that our sentences make sense. For example:

       What is your name.    X 👎

       What is your name?    /👍

Watch the Power Point below and see if you can pop the correct punctuation.

Take a look at the sentences below and see if you can decide what is missing. 🤔 Think and ask yourself does it need a FULL STOP, EXCLAMATION (SHOUT) MARK or a QUESTION MARK?

Read the sentences above with your child. Ask them to work out the punctuation that is missing, after you/they could make up some of their own.

Have a great week, missing you all loads!

Take care and stay safe.

LITERACY:

Write an ACROSTIC POEM using your friends name.  It would be great if you could write your poem about a friend in P2 to brighten each other's day! 

Send them to me and I will add them to our school Facebook page.

Here are some examples below:

Morning 🤗 P2 🤗,

I hope everyone is safe and well! This week I would like you all to focus on the following areas:

LITERACY

This week I would like you all to focus on RECOUNT WRITING.  To do this you could record like a typical day of lockdown in your house. Remember FIRST, THEN, NEXT and FINALLY (see writing template ideas above)

You could start by writing about the morning, ie. Breakfast then reading, perhaps lunch and off for a family walk to the beach/golf course/picnic in the garden etc. Then for example end the story by writing about dinner and bedtime. Just an example, you get the idea! Just use your creative imaginations P2. Don't forget to add a lovely illustration to go with your story. 

Best of luck, I can't wait to read these masterpieces!

NUMERACY

The focus for this week is to have a go at finding numbers before and after.  This is a mental maths challenge for you all and can be adapted very easily depending on how good you are at it. 

Let's show an example: Tell me/write the number before/after: 17, 73, 104, 287. Stay on teen figures until you are confident then progress to doubles then hundreds. Write the less than 10:  90 = 80, 110 =100.
