Scottish Football Association Visits
We had word this morning that the Scottish Football Association are going to be working with all the primary two classes to deliver some football coaching. Due to the current health and safety guidelines we are unable to hold these sessions indoors at the moment. As a result, regardless of the weather, we will be participating in outdoor football coaching until further notice on the following days: –
Monday 2nd November, Monday 9th November and Monday 16th November.
Some classes were lucky with the weather during today’s session however, in the coming weeks, it would be beneficial if you could send a change of clothes to participate in sessions that include long trousers and outdoor trainers as well as a waterproof jacket. Pupils can change before they participate and then change back into their school clothes after the session.
Term 2
Welcome back!
Normally we have lots of celebrations, but this year we may have to get creative. Once we have more information we will let you know what we are going to do for Hallowe’en and Christmas.

Primary 2 Homework
We have been working hard to get everyone settled into Primary 2 building strong and happy relationships with each other after having been away from school for so long. We feel it’s now time to begin thinking about how to support learning in class at home with some homework activities.
We are awaiting a delivery of new homework jotters that we can issue to you to write ideas down. Hopefully, this will allow us to send them home at the beginning of next week. Due to the current circumstances these jotters will be KEPT AT HOME and the class teacher will NOT collect them or mark them in the traditional way. If you wish to share your child’s work you can email them or upload a photograph directly to your child’s personal Glow page. More information on how to do this will follow.
In the meantime, we would like to share that the classes are revising the following:-
Literacy
– alphabet sounds and the joined phonemes sh, ch, th, ng.
– handwriting formation with a focus on joining sh, ch, th, ng.
– using phonic knowledge and sounding out unfamiliar words in reading activities.
– writing sentences and remembering the core targets: use a capital letter, finger spaces between words and a full stop.
SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
– Watch this video.

– counting in 1s and 2s up and down to 20 and beyond.
– identifying patterns in shapes/colours and in numbers.

NEW SESSION
Welcome to our new school session
2020/2021
Are you ready to be our P2 Crew?
Hello everyone!
This is Mrs Kidd from Primary 2 writing you a little welcome message from all of the teachers you’ll be seeing after the holidays.
We made you some videos because we’ve not managed to see everyone like we normally would for Bump-Up Day.
Mrs Saxelby and I made a video to show you all of the places you need to know about for coming up into Primary 2. Have a look for a special colour we keep seeing.
Did you notice the special colour that we could see as we moved though the infant department? The Primary 2 colour is going to be ORANGE. If you see an ORANGE heart on a door, it means you’re allowed to use that door. You’ll see RED doors too but those are for the new Primary 1 classes and we’re not allowed to use those so, let’s keep our eyes peeled once we come back to school.
We’ve been very busy trying to get everything organised for you coming back to school to see us in August. Mrs Saxelby and I really wondered who was going to help us to look after you and we are delighted to say that Miss Telford is moving from Primary 5 to be with Mrs McKie’s class and a new teacher called Miss Baillie will be taking Mrs Cree’s class! We’re already making a good team and have lots of lovely ideas to get you busy learning in P2.
Who is who in P2?
Have a look at your own class video but you might also like to watch the other ones too so that you can see all the teachers who will help to look after you in P2.
P1A – Miss Adam going to Mrs Kidd
P1F -Mrs Findlay going to Mrs Saxelby
P1M – Mrs McKie going to Miss Telford
P1C Mrs Cree going to Miss Baillie
We hope you enjoyed the virtual tour of your classrooms and seeing your new teacher. If you or your parents/carers have any questions, add a comment to this post because everyone might be wondering the same as you and we’ll try to answer it as best as we can.
The Primary 2 teachers are all really looking forward to meeting you after the summer holidays. The videos will stay here on the Primary 1 page until we come back to school, so if you feel like you need to see our faces or listen to our voices again then you can come back and watch them here at any time.
Have a great holiday everyone and we’ll see you in August!
Team P2
