New pupil – Welcome to primary 2 Szymon! We hope you enjoy your time at Abbotswell.

Maths focus – The class have been working hard on Information Handling in the last few weeks and we’re now going to move onto time. We’ll be looking at clock faces and digital clocks and making sure we can tell o’clock and half past. Perhaps the pupils could look for different clocks they have in their home and see if they can spot when the hour changes or when it’s half past.

Open afternoon – Abbotswell are having an open afternoon on Wednesday 3rd February from 1.30pm – 2. 45pm. Each class will be sharing their learning about the author they have focused on in the first 3 weeks of term. Primary 2 have really enjoyed the Katie Morag stories by Mairi Herdderwick and are looking forward to the opportunity to read you their excellent character descriptions, show off their skills with map work and discuss our class displays with their guests.

Book Fair – The Scholastic book fair is coming to Abbotswell this week. Primary 2 will have the chance to visit the fair and look at the books on Thursday afternoon and on Friday morning.

Scottish Book Awards – Also on Thursday afternoon, Mrs Forbes is planning to take the pupils to Kincorth Library to cast our votes for the Scottish Book Awards. If anyone could help with accompanying our class to the library could they please let us know. We would probably be leaving at about 2pm after the Book Fair and we would be back by 3pm.

What a busy week we’ve got planned!

Congratulations Cody on being our pupil of the week. We are so proud of the progress you have made with your reading. We can tell you must practise lots at home. 

We have also been impressed by how hard you have worked on all your class tasks this week. Keep it up smart cookie!
