Primary 2 were so happy to finally be allowed to have indoor P.E. in the gym hall this week! The class had great fun playing games and using the parachute.

If you haven’t already done so, please send in a bag with a pair of shorts and trainers/gym shoes for your child to wear for indoor P.E. sessions. These can be kept in school on your child’s peg.

This week we have been building some super models, working on our spelling and reading in literacy and continuing to use different strategies to multiply in maths.

Primary 2 will be starting weekly indoor P.E. sessions on a Friday afternoon. Pupils should bring in a P.E. kit (e.g. shorts, trainers in a bag that can be left in school) to wear for these sessions.

We will continue to go for a walk on a Tuesday afternoon with Primary 1, so pupils should come to school suitably dressed on that day.

Thanks for your support.

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and Primary 2 have been learning about Growth Mindset and the Power of Yet. We read the story ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ by Giles Andreae and wrote about things we can do and can’t do….yet! We made these super giraffes which will look fantastic on display.

In maths we have been learning to use a number line to multiply.

We have also had lots of fun building with the new blocks that have been purchased for our class, making play dough, painting and drawing. We even had some Valentine’s Day activities in the class this afternoon.

Our walk this week was much muddier than expected, apologies for all the dirty shoes!

Here are our ‘Star of the Day’ awards for this week:

• Rhys for excellent reading.
• Gracie-Leigh for being kind.
• Jack for super sounds work.
• Paige for showing a growth mindset.

Well done everyone!

Have a great February weekend.
