P2/3 Golden Treasures Week Beginning 8th March

Another busy week of learning in class this week! Here is what we’ve been learning about:

Literacy

Spelling: we used games and activities to help us to learn our sounds this week including drawing spelling words in a picture
Team Jewel- working on the ng and ck end sounds
Team Gold– continuing working on soft c, where the c makes an ‘s’ sound.
Team Treasure- multi-syllable words
Reading- continuing to explore poetry; acting out poems (Splish, Splash, Splosh and Going Through Old Photographs) using expression and actions to help bring the poems to life
Handwriting– practising formation, focusing on the correct height of letters
Grammar– looking at our use of adjectives
Writing– using adjectives in our writing

At home ideas:

Practise your spellings- choose an activity from the spelling grid or you could draw your words with outdoor chalk/make them from outdoor materials (sticks, stones etc)
Using a book at home (or using the link below to the Highway Rat) to see how many pairs of rhyming words you can find

Continuing to work on our number recognition of a range of different numbers (0-100, 0-1000 and beyond for some) and being able to say the number before and number after these numbers. Exploring vocabulary around this (for example, one less and one more)
Working on being able to write a variety of numbers in the range 0-100, 0-1000 (and beyond for some)
Number sequences- counting up and back from different starting points.
Using our times tables in a problem solving context.
Looking at problem solving with Bobbie Bear- we used the strategy “draw it out” to solve this problem.
Continuing to look at the properties of 3-d shapes.

At home ideas:

Look for 2-d and 3-d shapes around your home and in the local area. You could take photographs of the shapes you find.
Have a go at some of the other combinations of clothes for Bobbie Bear, using the link below:

Working on our EMERGENCY 999!– finding out about what counts as an Emergency and linking the topic to Technology by designing/making our own Emergency vehicles.
French- consolidating our learning of 1-10.
PE- practising for the Race for Life by working on our stamina.
Outdoor learning- practising our Drama skills outdoors.

At home ideas:

Go on some runs/walks and see if you can increase your speed and distance over the week (Race for Life on 20th March)
Make your own emergency vehicle using recycled materials.

We’ll see you all on Monday- enjoy your weekend everyone!
