Month: November 2019

For homework this week Primary 2 should be continuing to practice their lines and song lyrics for the nativity. We are hoping to be off script by the end of the week so we need the boys and girls to be practising as much as possible at home as well as in school.

Pupils have also been asked to pick a book every night to read for enjoyment. If you do not have any books at home pupils are allowed to take one from the class library to read at home.

There has been no other homework assigned this week as we would like the lines to be the focus.

REMINDER: All nativity tickets must be paid for through parent pay before you can receive them. Please do this as soon as possible.

A huge congratulations to our award winners!

All pupils in Primary 2 have now been assigned their roles in our performance of ‘Little Star’s Story’. All pupils have been given their scripts and lyrics to practice with at home.

Can you pleas practice these lines with your child as much as possible. We will have time in school for practicing, however, your help at home with this is vital and would be much apppreciated.

Can all pupils make sure they bring their scripts into school every day for in school practices.

If you have any questions please ask Miss McFlynn or Miss Cathcart 🙂

P2b all had an amazing time out in the mud kitchen this afternoon. Some of the boys and girls helped me plant some of the beautiful plants Mrs Carwood bought. We used our spades to dig out the soil and pour it into the planters making sure the pumpkin was covered.

Some of the boys and girls were pretending they wee working on a building site. They needed to clear the leaves and trees ready for their new school to be built. They worked hard together and independently. Amazing imagination guys!

We used our problem solving skills to work out how to get the water into the bucket.

Some of the boys and girls played together in the mud kitchen. They were making ‘lentil soup’ and ‘cupcakes’ for us all.

I was so impressed with how well P2b all worked and played together. Well done boys and girls!

This week there has been lots of child lead learning happening in P2b. We have been enjoying using the construction area in our atrium this week. Jessica worked hard to build sofa. Zion, Benjamin, Hannah and Eilidh showed team work, determination and creativity when they built a house with a sofa, walls and a TV.

We have been testing our concentration skills by completing some different jigsaws.

As it was bonfire night last week some of use decided to create pictures of fireworks using paint and toilet roll holders.

Millie worked hard to build one of the Lego characters. She made sure she included every detail on the picture.

Cieran, Liam, Joshua, Ruan and Jay got very creative with the cubes. They made a house with a chimney and created their own ‘Pac-Man Game’.

Yesterday we took our learning outdoors and explored some of the natural materials that can be found outside. We worked in teams to collect as many materials as we could, for example leaves, berries, grass and sticks. 

We discussed the colour, texture and size of all the materials we found during our hunt. We then used these to create amazing artwork.
