To all our Primary 2 parents and carers, since we are unable to welcome you into our classroom in person we wanted to share it with your virtually.
Follow the link below to explore our fabulous classroom. We hope you enjoy! 😁 https://www.thinglink.com/video/1384599844890345474
Primary 2 have been learning about water in different state in science. 💧
We were learning that water freezes at 0°c and becomes a solid known as ice. 🧊 The experiment showed us how ice melts when it’s no longer at 0°c and also created some great ice painting pictures. 🎨
Spooktacular day 👻
Primary 2 had some Halloween magic added to maths, literacy and art today. We used gruesome ingredients that were counted into a cauldron to make witches brews 🧙♀️, used 2D shapes to make pumpkin faces and wrote our spelling words into slime.
We finished the day with a Halloween party 🥳 We dooked for apples 🍏 and wrapped each other to create mummies. Have a look at some of our fun today. 🎃👻
We have been having so much fun with muddy movers in the sun. ☀️
Everyone has been working together to create and build different things from their imagination. We have created obstacle courses, tower jumps and mud pies. 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️ 🥧
We were developing our balance skills today with different activities that are fun and enjoyable for all. 🏋️♀️🏋️
Have a look at some of the great fun we have been having. 🎉
We have been having so much fun in Primary 2 so far.
We have been so busy getting to know our new classroom and playing with everyone again. We have been doing lots of activities such as Art, role play and construction. 👷♀️🎨🎭
We created a class charter together which shows some of the rights we have been learning about. As a class we choose minions to be our class charter theme and coloured them in to make them bright and colourful. 📽🎬
In class we have been reading a book together called the Colour Monster which talks about the different emotions that we can feel. 😊😥😡😨😎 We had great discussions about emotions we can feel during different situations.
Look at our fabulous work so far! 👀
Your new teacher can’t wait to welcome all of you to Primary 2.

Happy Friday everyone!
It is the last day of our first week learning online! You have all worked really hard this week and I am really proud of you all! Thank you for all your efforts so far and keeping me company on our google classroom.
Let’s have a fun last school day of the week and start off with some movement and dancing!
Literacy
So it’s the end of our first week of learning online and at home. I have seen some amazing work and am so proud of your efforts! I wish I was able to check in with you all in person but as we are still working form home I thought it would be a good idea to share with each other what you have all been up to at home.
You can choose how you do this, either draw a picture, write a few sentences in your jotter, record a video and post it onto our google classroom. Draw or write about your week on a document and upload it or add to the comments or even upload some pictures of your week.
You can choose, but I know I would certainly love to hear all about your week and i’m sure all your friends from class would also.
Spelling and Dictation
Today we are going to practise dictation, we do this in class so you will now have a chance to show your grown ups how amazing you are all getting at it.
In your jotter spell the word that your grown up reads out, remember to sound out each word. if your not sure say it slowly with each sound and get your grown up to sound it out slowly with you also.
To help you can use an alphabet line, i have added one you can download or write your own in your jotter before you start.
Grown Up:
read each word from the list one at a time, it can help to say it in a sentence, if they are struggling remind your child to sound out the word and think about each sound they hear.
RME
We began talking about the Easter story last week and today we can continue thinking about it today.
Here is a link to the Easter story for you to watch this week. You could watch it in two parts as it lasts about 25 minutes.
Parents:
Have a chat with your child about the story. You could ask questions like:
Who are the disciples? (friends of Jesus)
What did Judas do?( told the soldiers where Jesus was)
You decide what is appropriate.
Art
Children all over the country have been making colourful rainbow art to spread happiness and joy.
Can you make your own rainbow art and share it on Google Classroom with us?

Happy Thursday Primary 1.
I hope you have all had a nice week so far. I have really enjoyed seeing your pictures of work and things you are doing at home so thank you very much for sharing them!
There are a few new tasks today for you to complete, remember that this is similar to our in school classroom and you can choose when and how you complete them. Just do what works for your family.
If you have been learning about something different at home do let us know. Evie your Nessie poster was a fantastic idea!
This was me out with Fergus yesterday for a little fresh air, its really important to get outside for a little while as long as we are safe.
Have a lovely day everyone
Using your numeracy booklets complete the next page.
It’s important to practise our mental maths so have a go at the hit the button game to revise your number stories.
Revise the story of 7 today. You can choose how you practise, but get someone in your house to test your knowledge.
remember there are 8 calculations in the story of 7 that all add together to make 7. Can you find all the partners?
5+2=7 2+5=7
0+7=7
Number lines – To help when completing numeracy tasks at home it might be useful to make your own number line or number flash cards.
-Use something to help draw a straight line in your jotter and add numbers to 20 across it, just like a ruler.
-Cut up a piece of paper into 20 pieces and give each piece a number. can you add the correct number of pictures to go with the number? On your number 10 card you can add 10 stars.
-If you have a printer you can print out these ones rather than make your own.
Literacy:
So today I would like you to choose a book from home to read with a grown up or sibling. How many of the words can you read yourself or with a little help from an adult?
We have been thinking about the characters of our reading books. Talk to someone in your house about the main character in your story. Do you like them? Are they kind?
Have a go at writing a sentence or 2 to describe your character. Tell me what they look like, what they are doing and how they behave. You can even use the voice notes in the google doc to record your sentence if you can access it.
Watch the clip about the moon then design your own space picture featuring the moon. You can choose to have any phase of moon you like. Use either your jotter or the google doc to draw your picture.
You could add it to the google slides if you want to share it with your classmates.
Have a look out if your window tonight and see if you can spot the moon in the sky, can you see a face on the moon?
Have fun!
Good morning everyone,
I hope you are all ready for a good day today.
I have added a few new tasks for you to have a look at when suits you and your family. I hope you are enjoying spending some time with your families just now. Let me know what you have been getting up to.
I am going to have a go at Joe Wicks exercise class this morning. If you don’t feel like doing that then another option would be some cosmic kids yoga, you really enjoy this in class so why not pick your favourite one and show someone else in your family how to do it.
Numeracy
In your packs you will have a numeracy booklet, today do a page in your booklet to practise your number skills.
It’s also important to practise counting, here is a song to count with and have fun at the same time.
Have a go at this game to practise your number calculations to 10.
You can also have a look at education city where you will find more games to play. Your login for this is in your home learning folders.
Well done everyone, keep working hard.
