Class of 2024

This year, all homework can be accessed through Google Classroom.  If you are unsure how to access Google Classroom have a look at the video below (posted March).  Homework will usually include the following tasks:

• Spelling – each night, pupils can choose between Literacy Planet or a multi sensory task.
  • Literacy Planet can be accessed through Glow and login details can be found in pupils’ homework folders.  Once logged in, pupils should click ‘Tasks’, find the tasks dated that week and choose a few games to play.  They don’t need to play every game.
  • Examples of multi sensory activities can be found on Google Classroom.  Pupils should choose one activity and complete this for that day’s spelling words.  The list of spelling words for the week can be found in a Google Doc on Google Classroom.  The activities could be completed on the Google Doc with the list or in the homework jotter which will be sent out.

•  Maths – a numeracy task will be set up each week which could include:
  • Hit the Button.  A link to Hit the Button will be posted in Google Classroom along with which options they should choose e.g. number bonds, multiplication tables, etc.  After playing a few games, pupils should record their score that day in the Google Doc posted on Google Classroom.
  • Daily six.  This quiz will be posted on Google Classroom for pupils to complete.

• Reading – we are unable to send books home at the moment therefore, pupils should choose any book and try to read for 10 minutes each night.

I hope this helps.  If you have any questions or do not have access to a device please just let us know.

Thanks

First of all I would just like to say a huge thank you to all who attended and donated towards our Fairtrade Coffee Morning. We managed to raise £66.10 and exceeded our initial target set by the Co Op. Here are some pictures from the successful morning.

 

Over the past few weeks we have learned a lot about Fairtrade. We started off our topic discussing what we already knew about Fairtrade. Not many of us had heard of Fairtrade before.

We then had a look at some objects related to Fairtrade. We discussed together what they each showed and then decided which interested use the most. From this we decided as a class what we wanted to start learning about first.

We started learning about what kinds of Fairtrade products there are sold in the Uk. We worked together to research these products. From our research we created our own shopping lists.

Some groups even used their mathematical skills and used the calculators to total up how much their shopping would cost.

In writing we also listened to the story of Pablo the Super Banana. We learned that Pablo made sure that all the farmers got the pay they deserved. We then wrote our own stories about Pablo.

Finally before our coffee morning we used Fairtrade chocolate to create Krispie cakes for our parents and carers to eat.

 

Yesterday marked the beginning of ‘World Book Week’. Primary 2 were very lucky to have received a visit from Coo Clayton, author of ‘Maggie’s Monsters’. She came in to read her new book to us and to do some arts and crafts activities. We loved the book and really enjoyed helping Maggie on the hunt for her monsters.

After we heard the story Coo challenged us to make our own binoculars just like Maggie had in the story. We worked together to help one another cello tape our binoculars together.

We then tested out our binoculars. Some of us made maps and went on a hunt for buried treasure.

 

 

All P2 pupils should now have received a letter regarding our Fairtrade Coffee Morning. If you have not received this letter please write a note in your child’s communication diary and we will get another to you, or see below:

This will be held in the gym hall this Friday  6th March at 9:45am – 10:30am.  Tea, Coffee and some Fairtrade snacks will be provided by P2, however to ensure a successful event we would be very grateful for any donations of biscuits or cakes.

Please return the tear of slip on the letter indicating if you wish to attend and how many.

Many Thanks,

Miss McFlynn and Miss Cathcart

Today we celebrated shrove Tuesday in class. We discussed why we celebrate shrove Tuesday and we also spoke about why tomorrow is a special day for us. The boys and girls were already very knowledgeable about Ash Wednesday and could tell me lots of facts about the day and Lent. We all wrote a promise in a cross that we aim to keep during Lent. Some of us promised to give up our favourite sweets whilst others promised to help more around the house.

Here are some pictures of us enjoying some yummy pancakes!
