Week Beginning 7th January 2019

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.

For Golden time this week, pupils could

  • play Science Games about living and non living things on Education City
  • make and decorate crowns to mark Epiphany (6th January 2019)

Today was our Christmas Party. The pupils all had a great time showing of their dance moves, playing corners and enjoying the treats. The treats were provided by the Parent Partnership group, a very big thank you to them.


As we come to the end of 2018 and our first term, I want to say a big thank you to all the parents and families who have supported our class. Thank you for all your lovely cards and gifts that you’ve given to me this week.
