Monday 7th December Primary 2 Numeracy
Monday 7th December Numeracy
Let’s begin today by showing your grown-up that you can count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. To help you do this you could sing along to the Scratch garden or Singing Walrus videos on Youtube.
Our focus in numeracy recently has been time. This week please continue to focus on o’clock and half past. Remember to show your grown up these times digitally. Of course if you can show other times then let your grown up see quarter past or quarter to.
Today I have uploaded a calendar for the month of December. Can you add some events that your family might take part in or events that happen in school? You might want to include the time it takes as well. (Perhaps you put up Christmas light between five o’clock and six o’clock on the 5th of December).Then you could give your calendar to a grown up at home and ask them some questions.
For example
On what day do I sledging?
When is Christmas jumper day?
On what day do I make a gingerbread house?
When do I put my Christmas tree up?

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
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

On a Thursday, we normally write in our taught writing jotter. We have been focusing on using time words in our writing.
- o’clock
- half past
- today/yesterday/tomorrow

For today I would like you imagine you have gone into a time-travelling machine and ended up in the past – or perhaps, future.
Remember to talk about
- What you see?
- What does the place look like?
- Whom do you meet?
- What do they look like?
- What do they eat and drink?
Remember to read your story, does it make sense? What about your handwriting? Do you have finger spaces? Have you made sure your letters are the correct size?
I can’t wait to read all your stories.
Primary 2 Wednesday 2nd December Teeth and Healthy Eating
Our topic this term has been about teeth and healthy eating. The children have been exploring the sugar content of a variety of foods. At home choose some items from your food cupboard/fridge and put the items in order from least amount to largest amount of sugar. Do this without checking the labels and then look and see if you were correct.
Were you surprised by any of the items.
Below is an activity to test your knowledge of teeth and healthy eating.

Literacy
Remember to revise your tricky words and phoneme every day.
In class we have been exploring alliteration. This is when a sound is repeated. For example
She sells sea shells on the sea shore.
At home choose at least five objects and use alliteration to describe them. For example, a shoe, shiny shoe.
Then try some tongue twisters. Who can say them the best? Can you and your family come up with your own tongue twisters?
- I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!
- Peter Piper. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
