Hurlford Primary School and Early Childhood Centre

Hello Primary 2B,

I cannot believe we are in December now already! The last couple of months have flown by. Thank you to all of the parents for participating in parents night, it was lovely to speak to you all. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact me.

On Monday we wore tartan to celebrate St Andrews Day and looked absolutely smashing. We learned who St Andrew was, read his story and looked up where St Andrews is on Google Earth too. We had fun using Google Earth to explore Scotland and the United Kingdom and even found Hurlford Primary School. We really enjoyed this and as it is the week that the farms are due and I know you will be very busy so the home learning task this week is to go on Google Earth and look up different places. You could look up Spain, France, America etc or specific towns and cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris etc. Just type Google Earth into google search and it should come up or use this link – https://earth.google.com/web/

Here are some pictures from St Andrew’s day with our finished cards.

Spelling

As always, please practice spelling words, the phoneme this week is “ai.” Common words are tricky and some cannot by spelled phonologically and just need to be learnt so please practice.

Red – brain  train  stair  chair  paint

like  made  make

Green – rain  sail  hair  chair

went  like  made  make

Blue – pig  gap  dog  got  get

was  went  his

Feel free to use the activities on the grid below for spelling activities.

Thank you to everyone who managed on to Education City. I said in the post last week that I couldn’t give out Education City passwords but I have since found out that we can, it is just Glow that we cannot give out. I’m sure most people know the users and passwords and the class were able to tell me them but I will send them home this week just to be safe. Nothing on Education City this week but last weeks tasks are still up for anyone that did not manage them.

Have a fantastic week,

Miss Baillie 🙂

We had great fun in our pj’s for Children In Need. The children all looked so cosy. They also looked super for Be Bright! Be seen day. We will be talking more about Road Safety in January.

We do outdoor learning activities every Thursday morning, even if it’s rainy! The children love the range of activities. This term we are doing some weight, symmetry and data handling activities. Make sure to come in warm clothes and a waterproof jacket on a Thursday.

Hope the start of December is going well for everyone!

Another busy week last week, finishing off with Children In Need on Friday (photos still to follow)

This week we will be looking at the link between subtraction and addition in maths. Keep practising those mental arithmetic strategies.

Our topic is Scotland and we have been looking at the countries that make up the UK and things that Scotland is famous for.

Here is the link to this week’s spelling words and Education City homework.
