Good Afternoon! PAThS Lesson and P.E
In PAThS lessons, we discuss different emotions with Twiggle and his friends. This week, the feeling we will discuss in ‘disappointed’. What do you think this means? How can you tell if someone is disappointed, what would their face look like? Has there been a time where you have been disappointed? What happened and what did you do?
Have a discussion with someone at home about this or leave a comment. Remember all feeling are okay and you are allowed to feel disappointed at times. What you should remember to do is talk to someone about it and you can always do ‘the turtle’ (Stop, criss cross your arms almost hugging yourself and take some deep breaths) and say what the problem is.
Now time for P.E
If you have a garden then go for a jog.
- Do 10 sprints from each end of the garden.
- Do 10 star jumps.
- Stretch your arms to the sky

Comment Section Now Available
We have now opened the comments section to allow parents and children to interact more with the blog. Click on the title of the blog post and you should be able to comment. You will have to enter your name (or your child’s name) and an email address in order to comment. We hope that this makes it easier to interact with the P2 staff.
Number Time Part 2
Remember you all have login details for Sumdog maths in your homework pack jotters. Login and play Maths games. We will set up challenges throughout the week too!
Number Time
Tasks:
- Revise counting, reading and writing numbers! Watch the clip below to help you.
2. Choose which worksheet to complete. If you found it easy then try another one.
If you are feeling extra brave, then try this one! Just remember your place value (hundreds, tens and units)
Break Time!
Usually at this point in the morning you would get your 15 mins of playtime! Go and have a snack, toilet break and play before Maths time 🙂
Reading
TASKS:
- Revise your tricky sight words by watching the videos below 🙂
- Pick a book you have at home and read it with someone. If you don’t have any books then click this link to read an online story – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyYh43hxSts
- Once you have read your story. Draw a character from your story in your jotter.
- Write your character’s name beside your drawing.
- Write 3 adjectives to describe your character.
- Can you make a friend for the character? Use your imagination and draw a new character, remember to give them a name too!
Spelling and Sound of the Week
Before the holidays we looked at a_e with magic ‘e’. We will continue with a_e and also look at ‘ay‘ which makes the same sound! We will be revising our tricky words this term.
a_e and ay have the same sound but there is a difference:
With magic ‘e’ you can hear the long ‘a’ sound but at the end of the word you hear the second last letter because the ‘e’ is silent e.g. cake, game, lake
However, with ‘ay‘ you do hear the long ‘a’ sound at the end e.g. day, play, tray
Now you know lots of way to spell with the long ‘a’ sound (remember your learned ‘ai‘ in Primary 1 too)
Have a look at these videos:
Task:
- In your jotters, can you try to write ‘ay’ in your best handwriting 5 times.
- Think of some ‘ay’ and ‘a_e’ words and pick 4 words to write and draw them them in your jotter or on paper.
- Now try to write a sentence for each word, remember to use a capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end.
- Can you make a silly rhyme using ‘ay’ or ‘a_e’ words? e.g. It was a bright and sunny day, in the Month of May, is the best time to go out and play! Did you spot the rhyming words?
There will be no spelling tests but if you would still like homework words to learn and want to do your own spelling test at the end of the week then here is a word list. You can add more words onto it:
Easter Message from your Teachers!
Hi Primary 2! Well we have made to another week of home learning. We know it’s been difficult these past couple of weeks but Miss Rai, Mrs Chesire and Mr White would like to say how proud they are of you all! We appreciate you checking the blog and working hard at home. We miss you all so much!
We hope you all have a very relaxing time during the Easter break. This is the time to learn some new skills whether it’s riding a bike, learning to cook or make something. Spend time with your family, and enjoy it. Remember to keep reading too! Make a written or video diary of your time and keep it safe for years to come so you can look back at it, create memories! Here are some ideas to keep you busy during the holidays if you get bored.
Happy Easter when it comes!
Love Miss Rai, Mrs Cheshire and Mr White
Easter Chocolate Fudge
Here is a recipe you can try with your family during the Spring break. If you do not have a slow cooker then get an adult to help you use a microwave or use a pan (need adult help!).
