HOME LEARNING WB: 11.01.21
Welcome back!
We hope everyone has had a good Christmas and New Year! As you know we can’t be back in school together just yet so Mrs Wright has asked us to give you some work to do while you are at home.
Here in Primary Two we say, do what you can, when you can! To help you, we’ve made a grid of activities for the week. Any additional information you need for your activities will be included below so scroll down. You can do the jobs in any order and on whichever days you like.
Mrs Wright wants you to log into Bug Club and complete the book we allocate EVERY WEEK. If you have any problems logging on or completing your work please let your teacher know as soon as possible.
We can’t wait to see your home learning so be sure to email your teacher every week!
Lots of your jobs will be interactive and need very little, however, if you need to write anything down then please use your homework jotter and photograph what you’ve done to send to us.
If you need any resources such as jotters, pencils, glue sticks, highlighters and crayons then these have been made AVAILABLE in the school foyer. Just come and pick them up for you and any family members.
Before you get settled to your work routine today, have a look at this welcome back video. 2021, let’s go!

Christmas reminder
Just a little reminder that Friday is Christmas jumper day and donations can be brought in a bag or made through parent pay .
Friday is also the last day for Christmas fayre purchases. Money can be sent via parent pay or sent to school in a bag to quarantine.
If your child has written Christmas cards for their friends could we remind you that tomorrow (Friday) is the last day for these to be submitted due to us ensuring a period of quarantine.
Christmas Cards
We have all been incredibly busy in class with various Christmas activities and we will continue this to get into the Christmas spirit and to spread Christmas cheer.
It is often at this time of year that we are asked for class lists so that some of our pupils can write Christmas cards for their friends. This is not a mandatory activity and we would discourage you from going to buy cards now. However, if your child has cards and would like to send them to their friends, we would ask that they write them and place all the cards into a single bag for posting in our Primary 2 post box in school.
Include the following on the envelope:
-
friend’s name
-
class
Mrs Kidd – P2K
Mrs Saxelby – P2S
Miss Telford – P2T
Miss Baillie – P2B
Due to the circumstances the cards will need to be quarantined, therefore we would ask for all cards to arrive before:
MONDAY 14th DECEMBER
They will be delivered during the last two days of term.
Merry Christmas!
Primary Two Team 🙂
Virtual Christmas Card
All Primary 2 classes have been working hard to learn how to sign the Christmas Alphabet using Makaton. Unfortunately, due to restrictions we have been unable to go across to Crossgates as initially planned, so instead we have put together this video as our virtual Christmas card for all to see.
We have also been busy decorating our class windows to spread some Christmas cheer, we hope you like them.
Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Christmas Virtual Assembly, as we will feature alongside other classes who have been learning Sign Language to a range of Christmas songs.
Stay safe.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Team P2 🙂
Email address
Please check “Things you need to know about P2” in the menu if you need to contact Mrs Kidd as her email address has changed. All other staff emails are correct.
Christmas Jumpers
Christmas jumpers should be worn each Friday of December however, Primary two would request that pupils try to wear their Christmas jumpers/dresses/decorations again where possible on Monday 7th December as we are trying to film a special message to be shared this week.
Thank you
Primary 2 Team

Christmas Carolling
Primary 2 will be going to Crossgates Care Home, straight across from Onthank Primary School, for some Christmas Carolling outdoors. This will take place on Friday 11th December 2020 and the children can be dressed in Christmas attire, as per school Christmas calendar. We would really appreciate it if you could practise the following songs over the coming weeks with your child(ren). We will be adding our own Christmas cheer to the songs in class too. Below are links to videos with lyrics.
1. The Christmas Alphabet with Makaton Sign Language
2. It was on a Starry Night
3. Away in a Manger
4. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
5. Jingle Bells
6. When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney
7. We Wish you a Merry Christmas
Miss Telford and Team P2 🙂
Pupil Glow Pages
Due to a national directive taken outwith our control locally, all pupil login data has been reset for primary one and primary two pupils. It has been decided that if pupils need to log into their own Glow page then it will only be updated and used at school as required to support any work in class.
The impact on our pupils will be minimal. Homework and information about Primary two will continue to be posted on our primary two Glow page and can still be accessed through google without log in information. Any completed homework should be emailed to the class teacher. A reminder of our email addresses are as follows:
jennifer.baillie@eastayrshire.org.uk Miss Baillie
laura.milligan@eastayrshire.org.uk Mrs Kidd
carol.saxelby@eastayrshire.org.uk Mrs Saxelby
lauran.telford@eastayrshire.org.uk. Miss Telford
