Next week we will be celebrating World Book Day! We will be dedicating lots of time to reading some of our favourite stories. If your child has a book at home that they want to bring into school then you could send it in with them and they can tell the class all about their book!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Hunter-Andreuccetti.

We had a fund relaxing long weekend and we are happy to be back in school. We have had a very short week in school but a good one.

We have been learning about tens and units. (Eesa)

We created our own monster characters and we drew their homes and favourite foods. (Sarim and Arzan)

Zainab did a great job today of helping out a classmate. Zainab helped her friend to write by drawing sequences of dots for her friend to trace over and write… Very well done for this Zainab!

This week it was the 100 year anniversary of the first women being given the right to vote in the UK. The children learned about this by experiencing what it was like to be treated unfairly based on gender. They then wrote about this experience and shared their feelings about it. In the words of 6 year olds…

“I think this is very serious and not fair”

“It makes me very sad and angry”

“It’s not fair that boys get all their rights and girls don’t get any”

“It is very bad and it would be even more bad if it was real!”

Amazing words from amazing children!

The boys then suggested and decided, all by themselves, that they wanted to let the girls go for lunch first! What wonderful children we have in P2!

Primary 2 have been working so hard this week and we had visitors from France who we impressed with our number knowledge!

We have been learning about tens and units. We can add big sums. For example, you have a sum, you count the tens and units, then you add them up. (Sanjog)

We have been learning about common good… people must be treated fairly. (Zaid)

We have been learning about stories and The Gruffalo’s Child. (Nimrah and Faiqah)

We have been learning to do adding sums. (Fatima)

We have been learning different ways to add numbers for example you can use an empty numberline, you can add the tens then add the units, you can use your fingers, you can draw tens and units then add them. (Hamza and Tayiba)

We have been learning about animal migration (Talha)

We have been learning to add on tens and hundreds. (Aiman)

We hope you hall have a lovely holiday,

Love from P2.

Well done Tayiba for your great explanations and for sharing examples of your number work with the class. What a great achievement!

We are enjoying reading lots of stories for National Storytelling Week!!

On Friday mornings we have Liam, a football coach who comes to work with us. This is us developing our gross motor and ball skills. We were learning how to dribble the ball. Next week we are going to practise dribbling and passing the ball! Maybe one of us will be the next big football star!

Primary 2 have been working with a professional artist, to create their own works of art. These can now be seen at the Tramway gallary where they are being exhibited for six weeks! What an amazing opportunity and achievement for our very own St Albert’s Artists! Make sure you go along to see your child’s fabulous artwork!
