Welcome back to Term 4

We hope you have all had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed getting out into the fresh air with this nicer weather we’ve had. ☀️

This is the final term of Primary 2 and we will have lots of lovely activities and even more things for us to learn before we start our Summer holidays.

This week, because we are just back from our Easter holiday, the teachers would like you to use your time at home after school to catch up on any Bug Club books or maths games that you didn’t get round to before. We would also like you to think about all the joined phonemes (oi, aw, ue {oo} , ow {snow}, ea {leaf} ay) and number skills that have been issued for homework last term.

  • Work with your Homework Buddy to test yourself to try and write some spelling words in your jotter.

  • Listen to your Homework Buddy read out some simple sentences with common words and spelling words and write them into your jotter.

  • What do you like to write stories about? If you’d like a challenge, pick a topic to write a short story for your teacher to read and enjoy.

  • Work with your Homework Buddy to count. Can you count up in 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s to 100? Can you count down in 1s, 2, 5s, 10s from 100 to 0? Can you start at any number and do both of these things?

  • Revise how to make two-digit numbers. You should know calculations like 10 + 4 makes 14. How many different numbers can you make? If you are feeling confident, you can challenge yourself to do this for three-digit numbers.  

  • Revise adding within 20. Which strategy did you use? Again, if you’re feeling confident you can go beyond 20. 

Try these activities out, even if you just speak them through with your Homework Buddy, and you’ll realise that you remember a lot! We can use all of this learning to help us with our work this term.

Keep trying hard! We can’t wait to welcome you all back and hope you are all feeling fresh and ready for our learning in school.

Highland Games Highlights

What’s the weather to be like on Friday?

Terrible…

Wet…

Torrential rain….

Was that hail outside?

Dreich…

Did someone say snow? But it’s March!…

Should we just postpone?

No one was more surprised with our Scottish weather than all of the Primary 2 teachers on Friday morning last week! It was a close call but we were delighted that the weather stayed dry enough for us to go ahead with our much anticipated Highland Games. The pupils had a fabulous time and they competed amazingly well.

HOMEWORK WB 08.03.21

It has been lovely having everyone back in class these past two weeks! We’ve been busy getting everyone settled back into our P2 routine and revising the work that had been produced during the January Lockdown to ensure that everyone has had some experience of the main concepts taught. Elements of these will continue to be revised/taught in the next few weeks.

Once again, thank you for your support whilst we were away from school. Several pupils really have made leaps forward in their learning and self confidence which has been delightful to see back in class. We wish to capitalise on the progress made and would ask that you continue to help support your child by completing the weekly homework activities.

(These can be your own books or a library book will be provided on a MONDAY to be enjoyed throughout the week. Please ensure it is returned each FRIDAY so it can be quarantined over the weekend before being returned to the school library.)

HOME LEARNING WEEK BEGINNING: 15.02.21

We hope you have all had a good few days off with your families. Due to the February holiday we only have two days of school this week. There will be no VScene calls or Pupil of the Day this week but our First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has decided that we should return to school on Monday.

We’re delighted to welcome you all back and in the meantime, Homework Buddies, could you please help us to prepare the children for their return.

The Management Team have requested the following:-

How can I help?

As a final helpful list to parents, can you please support us by:

· Reinforcing hygiene measures and social distancing with your child(ren).

· Having your child(ren) bring tissues to school to capture any coughs or sneezes.

· Ensuring your child does not bring unnecessary items to school.

· Reinforcing positive, safe relationships between all children and our staff.

· Dropping your child off at school gates and allowing them to enter the playground area independently.

· Understanding that we are not permitted to allow visitors in school buildings, other than in emergency or other exceptional circumstances.

Until then kids, we want you to have some fun activities and tasks to do which will remind you about how to keep safe on our return. You can have a look through the Learning Grid to see what activities you could complete and then send them on to your class teacher.
