Thursday 11th February

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed Wild Wednesday yesterday. It was amazing to see so many of you on the video call taking part in the workout.

Please continue to use the virtual classroom for this week’s tasks and keep sending me your super work! I hope I can add some of this work to our WOW work wall on the virtual classroom.

We have been super lucky to receive a video from the NHS and Jason Leitch especially for p1,2, & 3 at Patna. You can watch these in the science room of the virtual classroom. We would love if we could send a little thank you back for doing this for us. This could be a letter, piece of art work, poster, photo, poem, video or anything else you can think of. This will also be shared with the local GP nurses and doctors who are working so hard giving out the vaccine.

Patna Community Trail
We have created a community trail around Patna and it would be great to see you all take part!

The trail has lots of fun activities to try as well as seeing what all the children at Patna have been doing for Children’s Mental Health Week.
All you need is a smart phone/tablet which connects to the internet (your school iPad won’t work as it doesn’t have internet outside.)
If you take part, try and take some photos and share them with us!
Have fun!

 

Tuesday 9th February
Good Morning Everyone!

Today is Internet Safety Day– Why don’t you check out the ICT suite in the virtual classroom and find out more about how to stay safe online?

 

Infant Outdoor Area
As you will remember Primary 2, on Friday we asked you for some ideas for our outdoor area. You had some super ideas on the Vscene call and I can’t wait to read your letters today! Can you complete this short survey, rating these ideas out of 5 please? Think really carefully about your answers.
Thank you!

Monday 8th February 2021
Good morning primary 2 pupils and parents. This week we are going to be using our virtual classroom for literacy and numeracy as well as the other areas of the school. On this link, you will be able to access all of this week’s learning. Below is a literacy and numeracy grid which suggests ways in which you can spread these activities out throughout the week. I have also attached a little guide to show you how to navigate your way around the virtual classroom. I hope this will be helpful for parents and engaging for our learners. I would appreciate any feedback on this method of online learning this week as I am eager to make this process as smooth as possible for our families. I have also attached this week’s activities for numeracy below.

On the overview grid, are suggested activities for each day. However there are addition activities and ideas on the virtual classroom which you can complete if you would like to.
