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.
Hi everyone,
I am aware that some people were struggling to access some of the activities on Education City due to them not being tablet friendly. I have now fixed this so that all activities are tablet friendly so everyone should be able to continue completing these activities. All pupils should be completing one of their assigned activities each week, please let me know if anyone is having difficulties with this 🙂
Thanks!

Child Led Learning
This week pupils had the opportunity to make play dough with partners. Pupils followed instructions to make the play dough independently using measuring skills. This sparked an interesting discussion about sharing equally.
Pupils also explored symmetry and length.
Birthday Celebrations
Happy Birthday to Isla, everyone enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with a little piece of Birthday cake.

Whole School Homework
In addition to Literacy and Numeracy Homework there will be opportunities throughout the term to take part in the Whole School Homework. This homework will relate to National, Local and School events such as First Ministers Reading Challenge and Fairtrade Fortnight.
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.
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.
