Week Beginning 19th October
Hello everyone,
We hope you were able to enjoy the October break 🙂 Can you believe we are now starting Term 2. The homework for this week is as follows…
In class, you will have learned the new spelling rule the short vowel.
For your spelling homework, we would like you to write the spelling rule and common words out three times. We would also like you to create a sentence of your own. Your sentence should include at least one or more of the spelling rule words. This should be returned by Friday for your teacher to mark.
Please copy the words below three times.
1. Set
2. Sun
3. Pat
4. Swim
5. She
6. were
7. like
8. him
Can you try to create a sentence which should include at least one spelling rule word. Here is an example.
I can see the sun is about to set.
If you would like to challenge yourself, why not think of some other words which follow the spelling rule or try to grow your words and think of root or shoot words. For example
Spelling rule words
short vowels
“mat”
“pet”
Roots and Shoots
set – setting, sets
Swim – swims, swimming
As we have now entered Term 2, we have created a new maths homework grid. You will be able to find all the resources you need for the maths homework in your class teams page, under the files sections.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s teacher 🙂
Christmas cards

We hope you enjoy looking at your child’s design. The children worked very hard and had lots of fun creating their Christmas cards.

Hello, Primary 2,
Welcome back after the weekend. We hope you have had a lovely break. This is our final week of Primary 2 and the school year 2019/2020. 😊 We would like to take this opportunity to say we are so proud of all of you. This year has turned out to be different from what we all expected but you have all coped so well. You have worked hard and showed great determination to continue with your learning.
As it is the last week in school we want it to be as fun and as stress-free as possible. We have organised a week full of activities leading up to a Teddy Bears’ picnic party on Friday. Each day there will be a new task relating to our picnic. Below is a timetable of the different activities.
We hope you enjoy this week. 😊
| The final week of Primary 2! 😊 Preparing for a Teddy Bears’ Picnic Each day the teachers will post exemplars to give you inspiration. We would love it if you could attach photos each day of the different tasks. Please do not worry if you are unable to manage this. 😉 |

Week Beginning 15/06/20
Hi P2,
We hope you have had a lovely weekend. Last week the teachers were given the happy news that the school would be open to them. This week some of the Primary 2 teachers will be in school sorting out the classrooms and getting them ready for next year. This does mean at some points during the week your teacher may not be on your teams page. However, there will always be a teacher available to you. A teacher within the school will cover the teams page. You will not be left on your own. 
This week our spelling rule is “aw” and your spelling rule words are
- claw
- paw
- draw
- yawn
As we have completed the common words for Primary 2 there will be none in your spelling. However, if you would like to refresh your memory here are the common words below
We would also like to take the opportunity to say how proud we are of all of the children. You have continually impressed us by engaging with your online learning and unfaltering motivation. Please remember,
- Just do whatever you can. We have set some of the work we would usually be doing on those days in school but please don’t feel you need to do it all. We understand that everyone has different circumstances and daily routines. We would be happy if you checked-in with us every day.
- We sometimes set different levels of tasks .e.g. mild, warm and hot. We always say to complete one of these, however, if you want to keep yourself busy feel free to do more than one.
- We will continue to have Team Meetings throughout the week. If you can join us, that would be great. These meetings give everyone a short time to share their news/feelings and hear each other’s voices. I know we really enjoy them and hope you do too.
- Uploading work: If you are having any problems uploading any work, remember you can always email them to us. Or just let us know on Teams that you have completed the work and we trust that you have!
- Feedback for your work: We look at your work once it has been submitted/uploaded and give you feedback. Please read the feedback to check for your strengths and next steps.
- Technical Difficulties: Sometimes documents, powerpoints and weblinks do not work when you try them on your device. Please let us know and we will try to advise you. The sound on some links doesn’t seem to work when it opens in Internet Explorer so another web browser (Chrome) would be better.
- Chill-Out Zone: Please remember to chat with your friends here. We are loving all of the creative and funny things you are doing in this zone. Please remember not to post personal photos or videos in this area. GIFs and emojis only.
Finally, keep trying your best and we will continue to be happy teachers.
