Spelling
The spelling words for this week are;
children, just, help.
Use the 5 rules of spelling (Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check) and write each word three times and use them in a sentence.
Reading
Practise your reading every night talking about the characters and events that are happening.
Maths
We will be working on fractions and the half. We will be looking at where numbers with halves in them are on a number line. Draw a simple number line with numbers 0 – 10. Put in where the half lies (between the 0 and 1). Now add in where 1½ is, 2½, 3½ etc.
Draw pictures showing whole and half numbers eg 2 cakes and another ½ cake. Label your picture with the fraction that matches (2½ cakes). How many fraction pictures can you make?
Health
This fortnight is ‘Fairtrade Fortnight’. The school will be running a fairtrade tuckshop so you can bring in money to buy your playpiece.
Weather permitting, Primary 2 will go on a field trip to buy some fairtrade products on Tuesday 28th February.
Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather with a coat with a hood, gloves, hat, scarf etc.
Next time you go shopping see if you can spot any fairtrade products. Tell an adult what you know about fairtrade farmers and how we can support them in getting a fair price for their foods. Draw the journey a fairtrade banana makes from the farm to the supermarket. Label your diagrams.
