This week the boys and girls worked hard on their setting description writing using adjectives to describe a setting from Toy Story. We also learned some new strategies to help us with multiplication. In IDL we learned about the planets, their order and facts about them. We did skip counting in 5s, 10s and 2s. The boys and girls also learned why we have a two minute silence to remember all those who have fought in wars across the world.

Two years ago, our school community came together to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts countless lives in different ways, and the Beatson continues to make an incredible difference through its compassionate care and unwavering support.

The Beatson Cancer Charity works alongside the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre – one of the leading cancer care facilities in the UK – providing vital funding for specialist staff, innovative research, and improved patient wellbeing. From emotional support and complementary therapies to cutting-edge treatments and clinical excellence, the charity ensures that patients and their families receive the best possible care at every stage of their journey.

We are proud to continue supporting the Beatson and the life-changing work they do for so many across Scotland.

This year, some of our amazing staff will be taking part in the Glasgow Santa Dash 2025 with Beatson Cancer Charity on Sunday the 7th December at Glasgow Green. Please help us to raise our fundraising target by donating to our Just Giving fundraising page. Click on the link below to access –

Yesterday was our Harvest Showcase and it was absolutely amazing. The boys and girls did a great job and did a brilliant performance of which we are all very proud. Now its time to get back to our normal routine.

In art we painted scarecrow faces and made fruit and vegetables using tissue paper and coloured pencils. This week in writing we were learning how to write a recount by pretending to be one of the three little pigs and retelling the story of the Big Bad Wolf. We also practised copying accurately from the board. In maths we were learning 2 digit addition using tens and ones.

We will also be doing a Food collection for our Bothy as part of our harvest festival celebrations and I would be grateful if you could send in any canned foods you might be able to spare. Thank You.

P2 are in full swing with their show practise. Their lines have been glued into their homework jotters. If they could look these over each night that would be great. They are also learning 3 songs which can be found on youtube. It would be wonderful if they could practise these a couple of times a week.

The song titles are as follows –  Harvest time

Autumn Leaves

Cauliflower Fluffy

This week Primary 2a have been learning about place value and doing their Sumdog diagnostic assessments. Next week we will be moving onto addition and subtraction. We continued with Character description by describing the White Rabbit and we also learned how to order the months of the year. In health and wellbeing we talked about our emotions and happiness and discussed the things that make us happy.

Can the boys and girls ensure that they are bringing their reading books everyday so they can be used in class.

P2a Curriculum Newsletter – Term 1 2025-26

This week we have been focusing on character description using characters from Alice in Wonderland. We have used amazing adjectives to describe the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. Next week we will describe the White Rabbit. We were also lucky enough to see a play about Alice in Wonderland that the boys and girls really enjoyed.

We kindly ask that everyone ensures that they have indoor shoes to wear everyday to help keep our classroom carpet clean now that the winter is almost upon us and its raining more often. Also the boys and girls will have their reading books in their bags each day and it would be great if they could read every night for 5 or 10mins to help improve their reading skills. But please remember to bring the book to school everyday as we will need them to read in class.

Welcome to Primary 2a. We are looking forward to sharing our learning journey with you.
