This week we are staying within the school grounds. Pupils will not need wellington boots but will need a warm jacket.

We are leaving the playground! This week we are planning a trip to THE FOXES (wooded area at the back of the school) to search for signs of Autumn. This will be a muddy outing so please send children to school with a warm jacket, change of shoes and some extra socks. Wellington boots would be great but if you don’t have any let us know in advance and we will aim to provide them.

The children have loved outdoor learning the last 3 weeks and it has been great getting to know all the P2 classes. We really need all photo consents, if you haven’t already filled this in please do, then we can share our learning with you.

Finally can we ask you to share this info with other P2 families, we know not everyone reads our blog and we don’t want soggy children!

Thank you,    P2 teachers.

Each week homework will be posted in our new homework tab, please do not scroll to the bottom of this page as it shows homework for session 22/23.

Take a look at our termly overview to find out what our pupils will be learning over the next few months.

Please remember to fill out a photo consent form, we have lots of snaps ready to post!

Welcome everyone to Primary 2. We hope that you are settling in and enjoying being back at school with your friends. Mrs Carten, Miss Campbell, Mrs Easter, Miss Ellis and Mrs Nelson are looking forward to an exciting year full of new learning experiences and fun! Outdoor learning starts tomorrow (24/8) – don’t forget a jacket! PE times will be confirmed by the end of this week.
