What a wonderful day we had, celebrating all things Maths 😀🌟 This morning we spent time in each Primary 2 base. Miss Finnigan helped everyone to make a maths thinking hat. Miss Grant had wonderful activities on 2D shape, Mrs Kane was inspiring the children to experiment with shape and colour patterns and Mrs Simpson was looking at pictographs and sorting items into categories. Busy, busy busy!

                                                        Thank you to all of the family members who were able to come into school today and share in lots of mathematical activities. The children loved having you in, and I hope you had as much fun as we all did. @BishoptonPS @AttainRen @MathsScot #MWREN @PMCmathematics

Who can keep fit and learn numbers at the same time?  This fun action song might help. Maybe you could add some of your own moves.  Have Fun!  Mrs S

Tying in with Maths Week, we have been learning the days of the week in French.  This is the song which we have been learning.

We are getting really good at ordering the days in English and French.@AttainRen @MathsScot @RenMathsCounts @PMCmathematics #MWSREN

Maths, maths and more maths!  We have been having a go on Sumdog; please practise at home too, to see if we can get further up the leader board.

We have been exploring numbers on the number square, making up our own number patterns, spotting the missing numbers and practising writing and making numbers from all sorts of interesting things.

During masterclass, we counted how many times we could throw and catch a beanbag independently, and then with a partner, in a minute.  We were becoming pretty good!

We are looking forward to inviting you into our class to join in with maths activities between 2pm and 3pm, tomorrow, Thursday 13th Sept. Please enter via the main office, and you will be directed down to the classroom. Come prepared in your Maths hat, or maybe you’d like to make one with us!

Mrs S

In preparation for activities during Maths Week, we are looking for junk, to make models.

We would appreciate different sizes and shapes of boxes and tubes (no toilet rolls please).  Please start bringing in from tomorrow.

Many thanks,

The primary Two team

Spelling homework was issued today, should be completed across the week, and handed back in by next Wednesday.  We completed a ‘practice’ run in school last week, so the children should be clear on what is expected. There is a suggested ‘completion outline’ stuck inside your child’s homework jotter, to help you to spread the load across the week.  I’ve copied it below, for your information, incase any have fallen out already.  This is consistent across the year group.

Primary Two Spelling Homework

Each week a new sound will be introduced in class.  Your child will copy four spelling words, and four common words into their homework jotter. I have broken spelling homework down to help you, but please feel free to complete it in a way which best suits you, and your child.

Neat presentation and layout will be encouraged, and commended.  Spelling homework should be completed and handed in by the following Wednesday.

Many thanks for your ongoing support.  Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via the homework diary, or at the end of the day.

Mrs Simpson

Should it be wet in the morning before school, the infant doors will be opened by a staff member.  You are then able to send your child into the school building and your child will wait outside their classroom until the school bell rings.

Many Thanks,

The Primary Two Team

We are having a lovely first day in Primary 2.  What a GREAT bunch of children.

This afternoon I will be sharing my all about me bag with the children.  If your child would like to, they could make up a little bag of their own,  of no more than three items.  Each item should tell us something about them. For example, ballet shoes if they love ballet, a walking shoe if they enjoy hillwalking or colouring pens if they love to draw.

We will look at 4/5 bags a day over the next week or so, and your child, should they wish,  will get the chance to talk to the class about their personal items.

PE days are Mondays and Fridays so it would be fantastic if all PE kits were in school by the end of the week.  Miss Hunter has lots of exciting games and activities planned for the children, in the gym hall!

Many thanks,

Mrs Simpson

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer.  Snowy and I are looking forward to hearing all about your holiday adventures, and seeing your bright shining faces in the morning.
