We Have Some Questions About The Middle Ages…
We have just begun to learn about the Middle Ages and already we have a lot of things that we want to know more about!  For example:
-
Why did they never eat potatoes?
-
Was all of the water too dirty to drink?
-
What was that nasty disease with the purple spots that lots of people got?
-
How did people get in and out of their castles if there were moats all the way round them? And if they had a way to get out, could their enemies not just sneak in the same way?
-
What sort of clothes did rich people and poor people wear? Did they have dresses and jeans?
-
If there was no electricity, how could they see to do things at night?
We are a curious lot in P2c! We are looking forward to being History Detectives again and finding the answers to our questions!
What Will We Be Learning in Term 4?

We have posted four different versions so that you will be able to see the Numeracy work being tackled by your child’s own group as well as all the other areas of the curriculum.
Homework for Week Beginning 29th April
Thanks to children and parents for doing such a good job with our first online set of homework tasks!
We are now going to stick to posting homework sheets in pdf format as this seems to suit everyone best. Click on the links below to see this week’s homework.
Spelling words are in the jotters as usual.

Thank You to Our Parent Helpers!
The teachers and children of Primary 2c would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Stott and Mrs Reekie for coming on our trip to New Lanark and helping to keep everyone happy and safe! Their help was very much appreciated.
They also carried out their roles as official photographers beautifully. Here are just a few of their photos – more to follow soon!
More Information About Homework
We have had a couple of questions about homework, so hopefully this post will help clarify some issues.
Do we need to print and return the Task Sheet?
No – not unless you have something specific that you want to tell us. The Task Sheet is just an overview of tasks to be attempted. We have put traffic lights on it in case any of the children have found something difficult. If you do want to let us know about any issues or concerns, feel free to either return the Task Sheet with traffic lights and a comment, or else just write us a note.
Is part of the Maths Grid missing?
We have checked the Maths Grid and it all seems to be there. If you can’t see it properly, try these two possible solutions:
- If a button labelled Enable Editing comes up at the top of the page, click it.
- OR… Click the View tab at the top of the screen, then select Edit Document.
Perhaps giving you the option to download pdf versions of the files is another way to solve this problem.  Here are some links to these.

Hope that helps!
Homework for Week Beginning 15th April and Week Beginning 23rd April
Welcome to our new online homework format! All the links you need are below.
We are planning a spelling test soon, so Spelling will just be revision for the next two weeks. Your child will tell you which Spelling group he or she is in so that you can choose the correct word lists to practise.
We are also trying out a new way of doing Maths homework; we hope that it will give the children (and their families!) a little more choice and flexibility.

Beat The Street
Thank you very much all the parents who came and helped us with our Beat the Street walk this morning. We’ve had a look at the leaderboard and this is what we saw!
Yippee! Wonderful! This is amazing!
What a nice way to end Term 3! Well done to all the children, families, friends and staff members who helped gain all these points.
Spelling City Website
Today we were playing some games on the Spelling City website to practise our spelling and some of the children asked if we could find a way for them to play the games at home too.
Below is a link that takes you to the wordlists for our most recent spelling patterns. We’ll keep updating them as we learn more!

Holiday Maths Practice Requests
Some of our parents have asked for vertical calculations to be sent home so that the children can have a wee practice now and again over the holidays – just to keep everything fresh in their minds.
Here are two links that will generate addition and subtraction worksheets for you if you want to have a go.
http://themathworksheetsite.com/add_multi.html
http://themathworksheetsite.com/subtract_multi.html
We recommend that (just for now) the Cubes and Cones choose the options with no carrying or exchanging (called borrowing on the website), the Cuboids choose addition with carrying but subtraction without exchanging and the Spheres choose the options with both carrying and exchanging.
Happy calculating!
