Primary 2
 

Welcome to our class page! It is lovely to see all the Primary 2 pupils back after the holidays.

Term 1 and Term 2
Literacy: 
Our focus for Term 1 in Writing is on Description. The pupils will explore different types of describing words (shape, size, colour, texture etc) and use these to describe a range of different characters and settings. Grammar lessons on adjectives will link with the writing. In Term 2 we will be learning about a new type of writing - an Information Report. Pupils will be exploring different topics and writing about what they have learned in their Information Reports.
Our Group reading books will be continuing on from where the pupils left on in Primary 1 and lots of other books will be enjoyed during our story time sessions daily. Handwriting will initially focus on consolidating the pupil’s knowledge of the basic formation of lower and upper case letters with myself, and Mrs Skalley will be with the class on a Thursday morning and will focus on handwriting of common words. In Phonics, Primary 2 will be learning new double sounds and continuing to be introduced to new common words to learn. 
Mrs Skalley will also teach ICT and STEM lessons during Thursday morning which the pupils are very excited about!

Numeracy:
During Term 1, Primary 2 will be furthering their learning of Addition, Time and Shape. We will explore these areas using mental, written and active techniques. In Term 2 the pupils will move to Subtraction and Data Handling. The pupils always enjoy conducting class and school surveys to collect data!

Health and Wellbeing:
In Term 1 we work together to make a Class Charter. This is when the pupils and myself choose rights and responsibilities for us all to follow in order to make the class a positive and successful place to be. Later in the Term and into Term 2, we will have a Health and Wellbeing topic based on Friendship and our Emotion Works lessons will start with the Orange Cog (Naming different emotions). 

Our P.E days are a Wednesday and a Friday.. Our initial lessons will explore a range of athletics skills.
