Numeracy and Maths Homework

Hello everyone,

We hope you have a fabulous long weekend.

We will begin numeracy and maths homework next week. As next week is a short week, we are suggesting that Sumdog or, if preferable, Topmarks, is the Numeracy and Maths homework. From the week beginning 9th May, a new homework grid will resume as normal.

Rainforest Activities

Hello everyone,

We hope you have had a pleasant start to the week. The Primary 2 teachers have planned a lovely afternoon for the children. We would like them to discover the importance of our rainforests, therefore we would like to allow the children to explore different foods which come from tropical environments. This would be a case of smelling, touching and tasting some exotic, exciting foods such as bananas, coffee beans, avocado ect.

We are aware of allergies and will make sure to be mindful of this. If you have any queries or even suggestions please let us know. 🙂

We are planning to carry out this activity on Thursday/Friday.

British Science Week 2022

Hi everyone,

We are super excited at Bishopton this week as it is British Science week. We have some very special visitors coming in all week to talk to the children about how they work in STEM careers. We also have a Science Afternoon planned on Friday to celebrate the theme of this year’s Science Week, which is Growth. You can find the activity packs here: Homepage – British Science Week

There is also a poster competition running for British Science Week that has been posted on the whole school blog.

If you do anything science-related at home, it would be great if you could take some pictures and send them to your teacher. We would love to see what the children have been getting up to.

Rainforest Plants

Today the children learned about some wonderful and very interesting plants and flowers that grow in the rainforest.

The children have started to create their own versions of the plants using junk modeling. Over the next few weeks the class  will continue to work on them during free flow, if they wish.

Take a look at the start of our terrific Rainforest models and great team work.

Junk Modelling plea

Good morning,

Primary 2 have been exploring the Rainforest for the past few weeks. This Friday, we have planned an exciting lesson to create plants from the rainforest.

This is where we need your help. We are on the hunt for some junk modelling resources. Objects like cereal boxes or the cardboard centre of a kitchen roll, we can not accept the toilet roll versions, for obvious reasons ;).

Anything that can be recycled would be ideal!

Thank you for your continued support.

Fun online activities :)

Good afternoon,

This term I will be encouraging the children to use numeracy, mathematics and literacy apps in class. During active learning time, I will be putting out ipads for the children to play the games on.

I will be setting work for the children on some of the apps. I will not use these apps to assess children, it is just another fun way to reinforce learning. The apps are also available on ipads, computers, tablets or phones therefore the children can play them at home too.

To begin with, it might be a good idea if you explored these games at home with your children. This will help them become familiar with the app, you are not obliged to do this. It is a suggestion to help link home learning and school learning.

You will need logins for these apps. I can reissue the Sumdog logins if you need them and will issue logins for literacy planet.

As always, thank you for your continued support.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Homework 10th January

Good morning,

We hope you had a restful weekend, ready for the first full week back at school.

Our homework this week is as follows

Spelling rule
“ou”
Spelling rule homework words, to be copied out into your spelling jotter and then a further two times.
1. out
2. loud
3. mouth
4. round

Common tricky words
1. like
2. him
3. time
4. into
As always can you put at least one of your spelling rule words into a sentence. We would love to see the children challenge themselves by growing the words. For example

out – ouside
loud – loudly
mouth – mouths
round – rounder

Here is a helpful video to reiterate the spelling rule video.

Explore the world around you to find other words that use the ou spelling rule. We would love to hear these words in class or write them in your homework jotter.

All homework should be returned by Friday for your teacher to mark.

Maths

The maths homework grid should be attached to your homework assignment on TEAMS. Remember to only complete one activity a week, this can be repeated throughout the week as many times as you would like. The activities chosen should be different each week. This is to give the children some variety and to revise concepts taught throughout the term.

Reading 

Your child has been issued a new book to read at home. If possible you could discuss the content of the book. You could use the three sharing. For example: what your child liked or disliked about the book, their connections or questions about the story. This helps support your child’s comprehension skills.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s teacher.
