Week Beginning 19th November 2018

Primary 2 have had a busy week. We were given our Sumdog passwords so we could take part in the East Renfrewshire Contest. Sumdog can be accessed at home as well as school and focuses on numeracy skills.

We have also started learning our lines for the nativity and have been practising these.

Sticking with the maths theme, parents and pupils had the opportunity to attend our Pizza Maths night. This was the first time the event was aimed at P2-P4 pupils and we had an excellent turnout. This was an opportunity to parents to find out about the strategies we use for Numeracy. Thank you to the staff from St. Luke’s for leading this.

On Tuesday we held our first P2 showcase, this was an opportunity for pupils to share their learning with their family. As this was our first event we took this as an opportunity to focus on the everyday experiences we complete to develop our Numeracy and Literacy. Thank you so much to all our families who were able to attend.

Pumpkins

Over the last few weeks we have been super busy with pumpkins. We picked them from our very own school Pumpkin Patch. Then we drew sketches of the pumpkins looking at line and shape. Next we coloured the sketches using shades of orange.

After that we made delicious Pumpkin soup and toasted pumpkin seeds. Most people tried the soup, 10 pupils said they would try the soup again.

Finally we wrote pumpkin soup instruction using bossy verbs.
