Whole School Homework – First Minister’s Reading Challenge
This week the whole school homework focuses on the First Minister’s Reading Challenge. The blue booklets were handed out in Aug/Sept and should be updated regularly. This week they will go home to be updated with any recent books completed. These books should be returned to school by Friday.
There is also some suggestions of way to engage your child in reading out side of school. 
Read, Write, Count Primary 2 bags
In November Primary 2 visited the Foundry, where they received yellow bags with 3 reading books, numeracy games and a note pad.
Please let us know what you thought by filling out the Parent survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PXCWGJ2
The prize draw for parents is a personal Read Write Count GOODIE BAG filled with books, games and activities for all the family to enjoy.
The deadline to complete this is Monday 4 March 2019.
Atrium
In the atrium this week we provided opportunities to explore natural resources as well as using sand, water and construction materials. Over the next few weeks we hope to rebuild our loose part materials collection. We will be looking for all sorts so look out for a letter for Mrs Carwood.
Physical Education
As we progress through our gymnastics focus in PE we have been working on rolls. This week we have been working on different rolls including forward rolls.
Welcome back to Term 2! I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable winter break. Check out what we will be doing this term on the P2B information page.
This week we are working on getting back into routine at school. A new homework jotter was handed out with a new homework overview and pupils logins for Education City and Sumdog.
Pupils also have a planning sheet to talk to their families about our topics this term: Weather, Farming and Fairtrade! When planning a topic, pupils share their knowledge and ideas to ensure we provide learning opportunities which target their interests. By discussing these at home first we will be able to have a really engaging discussion in class.
Pupils Leading Learning planning sheet
We will continue to have PE on a Wednesday and Friday and I would encourage pupils to bring their kits back in as soon as possible. Remember we love PE and don’t like to miss it, so even if it’s wet or cold we try to get outside. Therefore it’s important to have suitable outdoor clothing for PE in the MUGA on a Friday.
St. Luke’s Sports Leaders will be working with Primary 2B on Monday 14th, 21st and the 28th January.
This week we also started working on Fractions and Money.
