In St Luke’s Cluster we nurture every child’s unique God given talents to enable them to flourish in a climate of high expectations, innovation and creativity.
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.
Parent Partnership Evening – 2nd October
On Tuesday night some of us came back to school with our mums and dads for an evening of fun and games organised by the Parent Partnership Group. We played ‘Halloween’ games and even dressed up in Halloween costumes. We also made some Halloween crafts.
National Poetry Day – 4th October
We played rhyming games and wrote our own rhyming poems.
Autumn Film Show – 5th October
We attended the Autumn Film show organised by our Parent Partnership. We watched “The Stickman” and we’re treated to popcorn and juice . We all had a great time. Thank you to our Parent Partnership for giving up their time to organise this event. x
This week we started our new topic ‘My Family’. This topic will explore the past and present. Pupils will compare their own life’s with the childhood of their grandparents. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at how school, toys, hobbies and other things have changed.
Also this week we have been working on recognising tens and units. This is a really good skill to master as we work with larger numbers. We used concrete materials to visualise the numbers.
On Wednesday we celebrated European Languages day, Mrs Dziobek spoke to Primary 2b and shared how to say Hello in Polish.
Finally on Friday afternoon we had great fun taking part in our chosen activities. This week’s activities included:
Another super week in Primary 2b.
This week we have been working on counting in 2’s. We used different materials to make groups of 2.
Also this week we worked with Mrs Nelson to discuss her work on developing the playground. We walked around the playground and discussed things that we would like. We drew our own designs of the playground including balancing ropes, climbing frames, a climbing wall and even a zip wire! Finally we wrote letters to Mrs Nelson sharing our ideas and opinions. We can’t wait to see how the playground will be developed over the next year.
This week marks the national celebration of Maths. During the week we have been working on recognising our left and right. 
We have been using pom poms to help us with our number bonds.
We listened to a story about a caterpillar who gave away his many pairs of shoes. We counted the number of shoes he gave away to each insect and then wrote a story retelling his kind act.
Finally on Friday we had a really exciting House afternoon. We worked in teams with friends and family from other classes to problem solve. We had to read clues very carefully and explore the school to find the answers. We loved the opportunity to work with our brothers and sisters and would like to do this more often.
Our first week in Primary 2.
