Today the children are learning about the needs of animals and what we need to do when looking after our pets. Last week we revisited the life cycles of a frog and butterfly. The children enjoyed making their own lifecycle plates.

Due to the School Trip and holiday weekends this week and next the children’s spelling homework will be issued today and should be returned on Tuesday next week. A letter has been given out to the children to explain this further.

Reading will also be issued over 2 weeks but children should continue to bring their book to school every day (except Thursday!)

 

Today Primary 2 learned about what the word Empathy meant and what empathetic behaviour involves. The big message was understanding other people’s feelings and taking their feelings into account. We also discussed reasons people fall out and how to resolve arguments.  Big message here was that other people’s emotions are important in relationships not just our own feelings.

Please could you discuss this further at home with your child.

 

Today the children have learned about the meaning of Private, what our private parts are and the importance of our bodies belonging to us. We looked at the animated clip https://youtu.be/a-5mdt9YN6I which explained what a child should do if someone touches them in a private place. We also listened to the PANTS song.

P.A.N.T.S

Private parts are private

Always remember that your body belongs to you

No means no

Talk about secrets that upset you

Speak up, someone can help

In Primary 2 we are learning to measure using lots of different items. For homework this week I have attached two sheets where you can practise measuring using pencils or one pence coins.

Miss Kennedy and Mrs Wishart would like to wish you a very happy holiday.  Hopefully the sun will shine after the 8th of April and we will all be able to enjoy it.

We have some lovely chocolate treats to share with you and we will give those out on the first day back.  A wee chocolate treat from us and a chocolate egg from the Rowantree foundation who kindly donated an egg to all children in Primary 1 and Primary 2.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 19th of April. Stay safe safely  at home for a few days.  Happy holidays!

For Maths Homework this week I hope you enjoy the Easter  I Spy and chick activities below.

 

Or maybe you would like to cut out and make your own Easter chick.
