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.
Well done Primary 2, the assembly was superb! Everyone who volunteered to speak did really well especially when using a microphone which is really tricky.
Here is a few photographs. We had a keen P7 photographer, who tried to get a picture of everyone speaking or singing!
Thank you to all the parents who were able to come along this morning.

Primary 2 looked at different chocolate bars and made their own eye catching chocolate bars. These have been given in to our local COOP, thanks to Mr Mariner for arranging this.
Every bar needed to include the Fairtrade symbol and the COOP.
Whole School Homework – British Science Week
This week Science homework tasks have been added to Education City to mark British Science Week. Pupils access the activities using their Education City, then clicking on the homework tab.
Sumdog Competition
The East Renfrewshire Sumdog competition finishes on Thursday. There are currently 173 classes entered. Well done to the pupils who have been taking part at home!
We had a visitor today in Primary 2 to tell us a little more about our topic, Fairtrade. One of our parents, Mr Mariner, is an employee of Co-op supermarket which sells a large range of Fairtrade products and is involved in many Fairtrade projects.
He told us about the lives of farmers and their families in other countries, and how we can help them by buying the Fairtrade products they produce.
He brought with him a selection of Fairtrade products his supermarket sells such as tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate, bananas and even cotton wool.
As a treat for listening to his presentation so well he gave all the children a cookie with Fairtrade chocolate chips and a Fairtrade banana each to take home.
British Science Week
Journeys and Transport was the theme for 2019. In a nod to Science week Primary 2 were provided opportunities to think about different transport, from trains, planes to spaceships. Here is what they got up to…
Thank you to everyone who came along. The pupils had a great morning after a week of looking forward to it. We hope you enjoyed our song about Pablo the Banana.
A big well done to the children who spoke about Fairtrade,speaking in front of a large group of people can be very intimidating but they all showed they are Confident individuals.
The final preparations for our Fairtrade Coffee Morning is complete. We’ve decorated our biscuits, written our presentation and even rehearsed some entertainment.

P2 Homework Activities October
My Family
We have been looking at toys from the past. Last week we looked at toys which we still play with which our grandparents might have also played with. On Monday we designed and made kites. We tested them outside as it was a windy day, perfect for flying a kite!
Hail Mary
Primary 2 have been learning the Hail Mary this month to mark October. October is traditionally the month of the Rosary. Pupils wrote their own personal copy of the Hail Mary and took these home to practise.
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.
