“CK” Homework Week Beginning: 25.10.21

2 Replies

Hi everyone,

Welcome to our P2 Homework Page. Homework will be allocated via Glow on a  Monday, giving a full week to complete the provided tasks and activities. This allows you to choose the time which is right for your child and your family to engage in homework.

Your child has been given a homework folder to keep resources together and includes a homework jotter and helpful materials which will assist their learning across the curriculum.

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions homework jotters will not be brought between home and school. These are suggestions as to what you can do to support your child’s learning each week.

The previous “oo” homework has been completed in class to show you an example of how to lay out the literacy activities for all subsequent joined phonemes.

LITERACY TASKS

  • Ask your Homework Buddy (adult at home) to help you cut out all of your cards from the sheets that are in your brand new Homework Folder. These cards are the single sounds and joined phonemes you have experienced in class so far!
  • Say your alphabet and joined phoneme sounds flashcards.

CK
This week we are learning and using “ck”.

**New NEWS** Primary 2 football coaching.

Leave a reply

 

The Scottish Football Association will be leading football coaching with all Primary 2 pupils for 4 weeks.

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: –

Thursday 2nd September

Thursday 9th September

Thursday 16th September

Thursday 23rd  September

On football training days, pupils can come dressed in active wear to participate. It would be beneficial if you could send a change of clothes for sessions that include long trousers and outdoor trainers as well as a waterproof jacket if the weather is forecast to be cold and wet. In the event of poor weather, pupils can change before they participate and then change back into their school clothes after the session.

Thursday will also be our Primary Two Outdoor Learning Day. Please can you send your child to school with appropriate clothing and footwear depending on the weather. A change of shoes or wellies if it is especially wet would also be helpful.

Primary Two 2021/2022

Welcome to Primary Two!

Session 2021/2022

 

We have just completed our first full week back at school and it has been lovely to get to know all of you! Our P2 classes have been busy getting to know each other, making new friends and discussing and deciding what will make our classrooms GREAT this year.

As more information becomes available to us, we will be sure to update you here and share our learning from in class.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Gym days are: TUESDAY, THURSDAY & FRIDAY

– Please ensure you send in soft shoes/shorts for when indoor P.E. commences. It is also handy to include a pair of socks for any wet days and wet feet outwith gym days.

  • Library day will be: MONDAY

  • DATA FORMS (Pink and White)

    – Please return all data forms completed and signed ASAP and before FRIDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER 2021.

Primary Three Preparation

Leave a reply

 

As Primary Two draws to a close after what has been a challenging year, the teachers would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our pupils and Homework Buddies who have tried out something new by engaging almost exclusively online!

We have worked hard together to provide lessons, homework and feedback in a way we just haven’t had to before. So thank you for your patience and well done for sending in lots of great work; the improvements in confidence and skill have been wonderful to see!

Homework for Primary 2 is NOW COMPLETE, however, after speaking with some parents/carers at Parent’s Night we have collated a list of suggestions to help support our pupils and to give you an idea of the core skills required for Primary 3. Please be reassured that these are just suggestions and we would fully encourage you to enjoy your time off!

A pack of support resources for your child will be sent home in preparation for Primary 3 and can be referred to at any time to help maintain or build further confidence prior to returning in August 2021. Aside from these suggestions, we would always advocate providing a good model of reading so that your child can enjoy a story and talk about what they have read/noticed within a book. We will also signpost you to the USEFUL WEBSITES tab on the menu at the top of the P2 page for appropriate Literacy and Numeracy games.

All P2 pupils have worked on and should continue to develop: –

  • Reading and writing initial sounds (all alphabet single sounds)

  • Reading and writing stage 1 common words

  • Handwriting all lowercase and uppercase letters of the alphabet

  • Writing and counting out items to show the value of numbers to 10 

  • How to add groups of items together to make a larger total within 10

  • How to take away groups of items to make a smaller total within 10

  • If a number is ODD (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) or EVEN (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8)

  • How to identify the number BEFORE/AFTER/BETWEEN given numbers

  • How to count up and down in 1s, 2s and 10s.

     

If your child has been working within FIRST LEVEL, they should know:-

  • All of the above

  • All joined phonemes within Active Literacy Stage 1, (sh, th, ch, ng, wh, ph, ee, oo, ck, ai, oy, oa & qu) and use these to spell words

  • Some joined phonemes within Active Literacy Stage 2, (ay, ea {leaf}, ow {snow}, ue, aw, oi, au, ew, ow {owl}, ou & igh) and use these to spell words

  • Reading and writing Active Literacy Stage 2 words up to and including the word “right” on the grid

  • The place value of numbers to 100 – use the language tens and ones and explain, for example, that 18 is 1 ten and 8 ones which equals 10 + 8, or 25 is 2 tens and 5 ones  which equals 20 + 5 etc

  • How to add groups of items together to make a larger total within 20

  • How to take away groups of items to make a smaller total within 20

  • How to count up and down in 5s.

To all our Primary 2 pupils, we will miss you, work hard in P3 and if in doubt, sound it out!

Sending our best wishes for the future,

Miss Baillie, Mrs Banks, Mrs Easter, Mrs Kidd, Mrs Saxelby and Miss Telford.
