P2N/C

Welcome to P2! Our teacher's are Mrs Nicholson and Mrs Capener and our classroom assistants are Mrs Stewart and Miss Rock. 

We have been settling in nicely into another school year. We have made lots of new friends and we are engaging in lots of learning. For lots of photos of our lovely class, visit our class Seesaw page. 

Our topic this term is 'Houses and Homes' and we have been learning about all the different types of houses and homes there are.  During our topic lessons we have been learning about how a house is built, houses through the ages and houses in different parts of the world.    

During our topic play we have been engaging in lots of fun activities including a role play home corner where we have been playing house, making the dinner, taking on different roles and looking after each other. 

Literacy

 We have been very busy this term improving our reading and writing skills.  We have been been working on our phonic skills and really enjoying the games we play with our new phonics sounds each week.  P2 have been having a go at sounding out some tricky words and trying to recognise the vowel sounds in the middle of some 3 letter words.   We are almost ready to move on to some trickier 4 letter words! We have also been using our fantastic phonic skills to write some fabulous independent writing.  

Maths

We have been very busy this term learning all about numbers.  We have been working on the number bonds of numbers within 10 and have been working on developing our mathematical language.  We are now looking at all the numbers from 10-20. We have been practising addition strategies and then applying this to our work.  We have also had great fun learning new maths games and new mental maths games!  

We have been completing lots of sorting activities using Venn diagrams, overlapping Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams.  Sometimes these can we tricky but we are able to sort lots of resources in the classroom! 

This year Rosetta took part in Maths Week for the very first time.  We had lots of fun in class learning all about 2D shapes and patterns.  We took part in lots of practical activities including investigating the properties of 2D shapes, making 2D shape monsters, making shape patterns, making 2D shapes using our bodies and outdoor maths shapes games.  Even though we were 'playing' we were learning lots about shapes at the same time!

Term 1

We have been taking part in some more outdoor maths sessions and had great fun collecting leaves and sticks to make sets within 20. We then had a go at making some natural patterns. 

Literacy

 We have been enjoying playing a range of spelling games. We can spell lots of 3 letter CVC words and some 4 letter CVCC and CCVC words.
