Anti-Bullying Week

A busy couple of weeks in P.2 🙂

We have been really busy this week in P.2. We were very lucky this week to have a STEM workshop on animals. We all made our own animals and talked to our friends about what makes them special and unique. We have been working very hard on revising our number bonds to 10 and addition within 10. We have also been ordering numbers to 20 . Today we went outside and did our Maths lesson in the sun and wrote our sums all over the playground using chalk. I hope Mr Doyle doesn’t mind !! The boys and girls in P.2 have also been working hard on forming sentences using our phonics to help us. We have had great fun outside in the play park making wonderful memories with our friends. Thank you all so much for the warm welcome into P.2. I have had a wonderful couple of weeks and I am so excited for the year ahead.

Best wishes

This week, we focused on the topic book The Little Red Hen. We sequenced the story, splitting it into a beginning, middle and end, we found rhyming strings and described and painted the characters. We made bread for Little Red Hen, built farmyards, made buns in the malleable area and made paper plate Little Red Hen’s in the creative area. In ICT, we learned how to code using the Scratch Junior app were we created a scene from Little Red Hen adding backgrounds, sprites and speech bubbles. In WAU, we learned about the lifecycle of a hen. In Numeracy, we focused on sorted by shape, colour, type and size; we then moved onto sort using a Venn diagram. We counted, ordered and sequenced numbers to 20; focusing on the numbers 11, 12 and 13 and even made a “Magic Maths” display. This week was also Poetry week and we learned the nursery rhyme Little Boy Blue (check out our video😀😀). It was also Bike Week and we had the “Ultimate Go-Kart Race.” Congratulations to our Grand Prix winner Casey - Well done👏🏻👏🏻🏅🎖🥇🏆 🏆🏆

This week, our topic book was Going on a Bear Hunt and what great excitement it brought 🐻🐻. We used drama and actions to retell the story (check out our video), we made maps and binoculars and used these to go on a bear hunt around the school. We focused on prepositional language and we learned about the different types of bears and animals that hibernate. In writing, we focused on our morning routine. In Numeracy, we went on a shape hunt, made 2d bears, learned number sequencing to 20 and built towers to show different heights.

Our trip to Dundrum Castle

P2 have settled well into their new classroom and are working extremely hard. In Literacy, our writing focus for this term is procedural and we have been examining how to cross the road safety using the steps of stop, look, listen and think. In Numeracy, we have been learning about 2D shapes, patterns and numbers. Our focus this week has been colour and we went on an outside colour hunt and carried out an experiment to explore colour with skittles. Mrs McPolin has discovered that there are some great scientists in the P2 class!! We also had lots of fun outside - take a look at some of our photos!

First Week Back in School

What a great start the P2/3 class has made to being back at school. They had lots of fun learning about their new topic “Marvellous Me.” The children really enjoyed reading the topic book “The Ugly Duckling” and loved making swans, painting pictures, acting out the story and playing in our hospital along with so much more. They had super fun during P.E. with the soft play equipment and during Outdoor Play. Well done P2/3 - keep up the great work!
