Week beginning 14th January 2019

This week we started our block with St. Luke’s Sports Leaders.

Whole School Homework

This week’s optional whole school homework is a creative competition. If you are interested in taking part see the link below.

Creative Competition Flyer 2019

The competition is part of the Show Racism the Red Card campaign and encourages all participants to demonstrate an anti-racism message.  If you would like to take part and require any art materials please let Miss McKay know. The school will submit the entries together and therefore they should be returned by Friday.

Living Things

Pupils have been identifying living things and sprting these into catergories of their own choice. We used our ABC of talk to discuss our ideas. Animals we find in school provided a particularly interesting debate, thankfully we were all in agreement we don’t see sharks in the playground!

John the Baptist

We were delighted to be visited by Margaret Mary on Monday. She shared the bible story of Jesus’s baptism and talked with us about John the Baptist.

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)

PE

Pupils should participate in 2 hours of PE each week.  Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday.  On a Wednesday our PE takes place in the Gym hall. On a Friday we go outside to the Muga for PE, therefore pupils must try to bring in appropriate clothing for being outside.

  • black plimsolls
  • black shorts
  • either a red/white/yellow t-shirt

Outdoor kit required:

  • trainers (old ones which can be kept in school)
