Tuesday 8th December Primary 2 Numeracy
Good morning
For today’s numeracy begin by showing your grown up that you can count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Remember you can make use of Youtube videos such as The Singing Walrus and Scratch Garden.
Let us continue our focus on time. today I would like you to demonstrate that you can show an hour earlier or later. This can be done with digital time as well.
Have a look around your house, do you have any clocks analogue or digital? Do you have the time on objects that are not clocks? You could draw some of the things you have found in your home that show the time. Can you draw the object again and show the time an hour earlier or later.
Remember in primary two we have been learning o’clock and half past. You may know some other times as well.

Monday 7th December I.T
Our focus when using the computers has been to learn the position of the keys on the keyboard.
Today I would like you to type your phoneme and tricky words into a word document. Once you have typed your words now write at least three sentences using these words. Remember capital letters and full stops. Now you can change the font, size and colour. This means you will need to highlight the words you want to change before you select what you want to do to them.
After that you could log onto Busy things (dunlopteacher dunlop20) and play tree keys or bird word to improve your ability to find all the letters on the keyboard.

Friday 4th December Primary 2 Respect me Logo competition
Respect Me logo & slogan competition Dec 2020
Earlier this term we all took time in our classes to talk about bullying with your help we want to make sure that everyone in Dunlop Primary & ECC knows what bullying is, what to do if they experience bullying and how we can stand up to bullies, ensuring that our school continues to be a safe and happy place for us all. To help promote this across the school we are asking you to be very creative and design a colourful, eye-catching school anti-bullying logo/badge with a slogan that everyone from the ECC to P7 will understand and recognise.
The winning logo and slogan will then be made into posters and displayed across the school. There will be a prize for the best entry in each class and for the overall school winner-good luck!
Remember to write your name and class on the back of your sheet and return it by Friday 11th December
Friday 4th December Primary 2 Literacy
Good morning everyone!
For literacy on a Friday normally we would complete a spelling test for our tricky words and phoneme. At home ask your grown up to say each word and use it in a sentence so you can then write it down or spell it out loud.
If you do it on paper your grown-up could mark your work using brilliant blue and green for growth. Remember green for growth is fantastic as these are the words you need to work on.
On a Friday we would also take time to watch Geraldine the Giraffe and Alphablocks.
Today you could also divide a piece of paper into four and draw four of your phoneme words, remember to write the words underneath.
Also you could write some silly sentences, try to use as many of your words as possible.
Primary 2 Thursday 3rd December numeracy
Numeracy Thursday 3rd December
Good morning everyone.
For numeracy today, I am setting you a one-minute challenge.
First, ask your grown-up to start the timer, when you think a minute is up as them to stop. Were you close? Ask those who live in your house to try it. Who was the closest?
Next I would like you to estimate how many times you can do each item in the table in one minute. Write down your estimate and then ask a grown-up to time you. Did you manage more or less? Did it feel like a minute? I have left the last box empty, you can think of your own challenge to complete in one minute.
Now you could ask your grown-up to join in? How did they get on?
| Activity | Estimate | Actual |
| Write your name | ||
| hop | ||
| Write the alphabet | ||
| Burpees | ||
Thursday 3rd December Primary 2 P.E
Good Morning!
On a Thursday we normally have P.E. Our focus has been on small ball skills (throwing/catching). The children have also been using a small bat and ball to improve their hand-eye coordination. If you have a ball and bat at home you could show your grown-up what we have been working on. Remember to warm up first, perhaps you could be the teacher and lead the warm-up for your family.
We have also explored large ball skills. At home you could show off some of the throws you have been learning. Remember only throw the ball if your partner is ready ( the children can discuss how to show someone you are ready to catch the ball).
If the weather isn’t great why not try some cosmic yoga for kids on Youtube?
Have fun
