Welcome to P2!
Welcome to the Primary 2 webpage which will be updated throughout the year with our class curriculum and news, updates and photographs of the exciting things that we have been getting up to.
We thrive on learning through play both inside and outside the classroom. This gives us a real opportunity to practise and extend our skills on problem solving, investigating, designing, cooperation, communication and teamwork, just to name a few. No challenge is too great for our P2’s!
Throughout the year, in our fantastic topics, we explore our local woodlands in autumn, we discover how our houses are made, we go on an adventure to a winter wonderland, we understand the importance of water and finally we take to the seaside and learn all about the animals that live there.
Take a closer look at all the fun things have been up to already this year!
Term 2
Welcome back! We trust you had a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year. P2 have a busy term ahead! Here’s a brief outline of what we will be learning.
In Numeracy, we will be learning all about time. We will think about seasons, months, days, special days and then analogue o’clock and half past. We will carry on with our number bonds to 10 and practise adding and subtracting within 20. After half term we will think about money; recognising coins up to 20p, ways to make amounts up to 10p, giving change from 10p.
In Literacy, we will be trying to expand sentences (orally and in writing) remembering capitals and full stops. We will continue with our Sounds-Write phonics. After half term, we will start the Extended Code after completing the Initial Code We will keep on with our reading groups and Reading Eggs app.
Our first topic is Winter Wonderland. We will think about clothes we wear, ways to keep warm, where wool comes from, countries where it is always winter, polar regions and how animals live there and keep warm. We love finishing this topic with our penguin party! After half term our topic is Splish Splash Splosh! We will think about how we use water, why water is so important and shouldn’t be wasted, places of drought and flood and all about frogs! We hope to get to visit a real dam and reservoir when the weather gets warmer.
