June 2026 – Primary 1/2 with Mrs Kane

Summer Holidays!

I wanted to say another big THANK YOU to everyone for your lovely end of year presents, kind cards and beautiful pictures, they are so appreciated.

I have enjoyed teaching everyone so much and am so so proud of every single boy and girl in my class because you have all worked so hard and have grown so much this year!

I can’t wait to teach all of the Primary 1s in Primary 2 again and am sad to have to pass the Primary 3s on to a different class. I know everyone will do a brilliant job though.

I wish you all a lovely summer break full of adventures, experiences and exciting things to tell me about when you come back to school in August. I love hearing all the news!

We have had an amazing celebration week for our school’s 50th birthday!

Unfortunately I had little time to take pictures outside of the classroom but Miss Gorman has shared celebration pictures on the school blog.

Thank you so so much for your very kind and thoughtful gifts for me. I’m so touched and grateful, thank you. I can’t wait to visit the wool shop and enjoy an afternoon tea!

Here is a very small summary of just a few things we have been doing.

We had a great celebration afternoon on Friday:

We also did lots of fun work in the classroom and outside this week and last week!

We had a visit from Archaeology Scotland last week and made flowers from toilet paper for Miss Gorman’s jacket that she wore on Tuesday for our archaeology presentation.

We also made good use of the good weather:

Home Learning Week beginning 1st July

We are continuing to work with our spelling words from last week as we were so busy with all of our Health activities that we didn’t get much of a chance to practise our spelling. So please practise last week’s words at home again.

In Maths, Primary 1s were comparing numbers to 20 last week. We looked at larger / smaller numbers and found the largest / the smallest number out of a range of numbers. This week we are looking at ordering numbers from smallest to largest / largest to smallest.

Please cut the number cards apart and do some of the suggested activities. You can keep the cards and activities at home.

Primary 2s have been practising their 2 times table.

Cut out the flashcards and time your child to see how many times table sums they can answer in 30s. Record their score on the sheet below with the date to show how they improved over the week.
