Cities

On Thursday we will be researching a city of our own choice. It can be any city in the world. It can be a city they are interested in for any reason such as family links, a place they have visited or a place they have heard of through their own interests.

Ideas so far have included London, Madrid, Moscow and Wellington.

Primary 2 homework 

This week pupils will be issued a new homework overview for April – June, look out for this in the homework folders.

Numeracy homework will be mental maths flashcards, which pupils can practise at home. Each week pupils will swap flashcards so they can practise a different numeracy skill. Therefore it is super important that pupils look after these and bring them back each Friday.

Education City and Sumdog will still be accessible using the passwords in the homework jotters.
