Junk modelling

Hello!

We are looking for your help. This week and next week we will be doing some junk modelling. We are going to create our very own castles. The cildren love to cut out the cardbord and stick it back together. As a result we are short on resources to use. Could we ask for some cardboard boxes, all shapes and sizes or old recycling pieces that you could donate to help us create castles.

Thank you very much for your help with this.

Miss Frew and Miss Gilbert.

Proper nouns

This afternoon we were learning about proper nouns. In the pictures below you will be able to see the children looking at the difference between common nouns and proper nouns. In groups we then created silly stories which had proper nouns in them.

 

 

 

 

 

Spooky stories

During today’s masterclass I was really impressed by the wonderful ideas which the children shared for our Halloween story.

We all worked together to create a story which included all of our ideas. Have a look at some of the creations.

 

 

 

Primary 2 noun hunt

This afternoon the children were introduced to nouns. We had super fun discovering what a noun is. The children were then able to go on a noun hunt around the school. We were even able to go outside into the playground to find some nouns. Have a look at a few photos which show all the fun we had.

P2E/S Parent helpers

Hello everyone,

Next week we will be celebrating numeracy and maths throughout the school. As part of our learning, we will be visiting the Co-op on Thursday 3rd October from 11:00-11:30. The school are kindly asking for each child to bring in £1 to spend whilst we are there. P2E and P2S will be encouraged to purchase anything they wish from the fruit and vegetable section inside. To help us cross the road safely and with help inside the Co-op, we would love for 2 parent helpers for each class (4 in total) to join us on our short trip. If you are able to help us please let me know as soon as possible.  We will be aiming to leave the school at 10:55.

Thank you for all your help and continued support,

Miss Frew and Miss Gilbert 🙂

Hello everyone,

We hope you had a lovely weekend.

Primary 2 notes:

  • Field days this week are: Monday and Thursday, weather permitting.
  • If possible, we are looking for some loose parts and junk for our freeflow play. We would appreciate if you could save and send in items which could be used in our different areas. Ideally, tubes (kitchen roll only), small boxes, wallpaper, material, cotton wool, little pebbles or stones, corks, shells, lids, twigs etc: items which encourage the children to be creative and use their imagination in a variety of ways. Due to allergies, please do not send in any tubs from food that contains nuts, seeds and pulses, milk or eggs.
  • This week the children will be given an opportunity to join the eco-committee. It would  be appreciated if you could discuss this role with your child. If they are interested, together you can fill in an application form which will have been sent home.

First week in Primary 2E!

What wonderful stars you all are in Primary 2E!

Our first two days in Primary two have been fantastic. The children are settling into Primary 2  and beginning to become familiar with our routines.

I am loving getting to know you all, and cannot wait for all the fun learning experiences we are going to share throughout the year.

We will issue more information on homework and routines soon, but we wanted to let you know that our PE days are Thursdays and Fridays.  It would be much appreciated if you could ensure PE kits are sent into school by next Thursday. If your child has earrings, could you please ensure that they have been taped over on PE days.

Many thanks,

Miss Frew
