Week Beginning 19th November 2018

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 at assembly we received reflective vests and snap bands from Specsavers to mark National Road Safety week. The aim of this Specsavers campaign is to increase the safety of our children when out and about by making it easier for motorists to spot them. Primary 2 have been loving wearing the vests and are being encouraged to wear them as they walk to and from school.

Pumpkins

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.

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.

Week beginning 24th Sept 2018

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:

using the chromebooks
creating a collage
making playdough

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.

Maths Week

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.
