P2/3 – PAThS Lesson
PAThS
scared and safe
Today in primary 2/3 we were learning about the feelings scared and safe. We had lots of discussion about what makes us feel scared and what makes us feel safe. We also discussed different coping strategies we can use when we feel scared.
Here is a snapshot of what the pupils had to say:
SAFE
Oscar: I feel safe when I’m tucked up in bed.
Jessica: I can do something like think about things that make me happy to make me feel safe.
Lily: I feel safe when I am with a friend.
Regan: I feel safe when I am at school.
Erik: I can cuddle my brother to make me feel safe.
Theo: I feel safe when I hug my mum.
Jim: I feel safe when I am with my mum and dad.
Eve: I feel safe when I get hugs.
Finlay: I can go to my mum and dad to make me feel safe.
SCARED
Daisy: I had a bad dream about giant spiders and it made me feel scared.
Lily A: I can play with Lego to take my mind of off it when I am scared.
Olivia: I feel scared when there is a thunder stormÂ
Abbie: I can distract myself when I feel scared.
Riley: I feel scared when I can’t find my mum.
Naila: I get scared when there is a thunder storm.
Sophie: I am scared of nightmares.
Brodie: I feel scared if strangers follow me.
Amy: If I feel scared, I can go to my safe person or my friend. My safe person is my mum and dad and sister.
P2/3 – PAThS pupil of the day
Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies
Each time we have a PAThS lesson a pupil is selected at random to be our PAThS pupil of the day. Our PAThS pupil receives compliments from their peers as well as giving themself a compliment. This is a fantastic way to boost self-esteem and discuss the different feelings associated with receiving a range of compliments.
P2/3 Weekly Achievements Updated
P2/3 – Glow Blogs and e-portfolio survey
We would really appreciate if any parents/carers could complete the following updated survey to gather feedback about our class blogs and pupil e-portfolios. We really value any feedback. If you have previously completed a blog or e-portfolio survey it will still be extremely beneficial if you could take the time to complete this updated version. Thank you in advance.
P2/3 HWB Scenarios
We have been learning about medicines, harmless and harmful substances. In pairs or trios, the class were given scenario cards and asked to act out the situation. Â Everyone was fantastic in their roles and responded appropriately to the scenarios they were given.

P2/3 multiplication work
Multiplication
Primary 2/3 have been learning about multiplication this week and have been working very hard to complete multiplication calculations. The Circles, Triangles and Squares have been creating repeated addition calculations using Numicon and then working out the related multiplication fact and the Rectangles have been using concrete materials to create equal groups to help them answer multiplication calculations. Look below at our work and what the children had to say about their learning;
Riley – the ‘x’ means times
Olivia – the ‘x’ replaces the words ‘groups of’
Oscar – the groups need to be the same number
Erik – the one times table is the same number that you multiply by
Eve – another word for times is groups of
Tommy – you have to have all the same numbers in each group
Jessica – It is the same as repeated addition
Daisy – all of the answers in the two times table are even
