Primary 2/1 are enjoying taking part in the crazy hair/onesie day! Thanks for all your donations!

We really enjoyed finding out more about St Andrew’s Hospice and the important service they provide for Lanarkshire. We found out about the different jobs people do there. Lynsey posed for a sensible photo and a crazy one too!

As  part of our topic, “People in Society”, P.2/1 have taken on the important role of creating Magic Reindeer Dust. This will help Santa find the right houses when he sees it sparkling in the garden and it’s a tasty snack for the busy reindeer!  We needed labels for our little bags of magic so we had a design competition to find the best label. Ben, Isla and Erin’s labels were all chosen. Well done to them!  Our special Magic Reindeer Dust will be for sale at the Nativity performance on Dec 16th. They cost £1 per bag and all profits will be donated to St. Andrew’s Hospice.

Lynsey from St.Andrew’s Hospice came in to talk to P.2/1 about all the jobs that people do at the hospice. It was very interesting to find there were lots of different jobs that need to be done to keep the hospice going. We also found out that the hospice needs £65,ooo a week to keep running! Lynsey was grateful that we are going to raise money for the hospice by selling our Magic Reindeer Dust. If you are at the Nativity performance please buy a bag, but don’t worry children can bring in £1 to school to buy a bag too!

We used our ICT time to design posters and they look pretty good!

We had a fun morning at the library today. We spent time choosing books to take home and read and then we used our new room in the library to practise out Nativity songs. Thanks to Miss Rankin for coming with us to help cross the road safely.

Our four Primary ones have been enjoying school and are working very hard! They already know numbers up to 5 and they know s, a, t, p, i, n, r and m! Keep up the good work!

Welcome to p.2/1!

We have 20 p.2 children and 4 fabulous p.1 children. We also have a class mascot Roo, who has already spent some weekends with children from the class. Everyone will have a turn of Roo and remember to fill in a page or two of his diary.

P.E

We have two slots of P.E on a Tuesday. (Just the way the timetable worked out!) The children will require indoor shoes/P.E kit and appropriate outdoor clothing. These items can be kept in school in a gym bag.

Primary 2

Reading with adult support and working on word wall words (If applicable) each night is recommended. Reading books and word wall words should be in their bags at all times.

Monday – Phoneme maker- cut up the letters, make the words and write them once in their jotter.

Tuesday – Phonics- write the words from previous night three times in the jotter. (This may be written in a fun way with different colours, or in a pyramid fashion, but the traditional list is also fine.)

We will be adding more to this blog throughout the year, so keep visiting and don’t forget to comment!
