Good afternoon! Here is our homework for the week ahead:

Maths Homework is due on Thursday. Spelling and Reading Homework is due on Friday.

Reading

Each child has been given a new school reading book to read aloud and discuss this week. These will be collected in on Friday.

Maths

The maths homework this week is revision of number bonds to 10. I went over this in class with the children today so hopefully they can complete this. The sheet should be completed and handed back by Thursday.

Spelling

We discussed short vowel sounds today (when the vowel makes its own sound) and came up with some fantastic words! The spelling words we chose were:

had, exit, snip, odd, under

Our common words this week are:

from, or and one.

As always, please ask if you have any queries either through the homework diary or at the end of the day.

Ospreys have a non-uniform day this Friday due to winning the house points this month.

Yesterday and today we were set a STEM challenge across Primary 2. Unfortunately, Cinderella’s fairy godmother had made the pumpkin disappear! Primary 2 came to the rescue by building a brand new carriage for Cinderella that moved using wind power. We created a design for the carriage and discussed what resources we could use. In groups across P2 we created our versions of carriages for Cinderella. We worked very hard to make sure our carriages moved and were a comfortable space for Cinderella to sit on her way to the ball. Thankfully, P2 saved the day and she got to the ball in plenty of time. Well done Primary 2!

Today we focussed on what things we need to remember when writing sentences – capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. I was a bit naughty and created some sentences with mistakes in them for Primary 2 to fix. They did really well! Others created stars that had spelling rule words in their points, creating at least one of their own. Finally they practised their capital letters by matching them to their lowercase letters.

Remember these rules when doing your homework P2G for some super sentences!

Parent’s night letters were issued today. Please let me know as soon as possible if the time I have given you is unsuitable. I have tried my very best to accommodate everyone.

Today we were so lucky to work with P6M to create something that stood tall and alone. We showed fantastic teamwork and evaluated and problem-solved our own creations to adapt and change them. Our finished products were fantastic and we really enjoyed working together.

Today we were very lucky to have two visitors to our classroom to talk about their jobs within STEM. First we had Eleanor Rathod who talked to us about her job in IT. She explained the different jobs she had in oil rigs and showed us how she helped to test new mobiles for phone companies.  She showed us some old mobiles that only the adults recognised! We found it strange how they were so small! Next we had Martin Banks who is a mechanical engineer working with shipbuilding. He showed us how he had been part of building and testing a brand new aircraft carrier and talked about why he wanted to be an engineer. We loved seeing his pictures of the cars he made when he was younger! Thanks again to our visitors.

I was so impressed by the effort that all the children had put into their solo talks! Thanks to all the adults who were interviewed by the children about their jobs. They were so confident and enjoyed sharing what they had learned. Here are some pictures.

Good afternoon! Here is our homework for the week ahead:

Just a reminder that Wednesday 26th September is European Day of Languages.  Children will be working in their houses and should wear their house colours to school.

In class we have been looking at making 5 and 10 in different ways. The homework sheet is based around this. I have advised the children that they are welcome to borrow a number line from the class should they wish to help them. The sheet should be completed and handed back by Friday.

The solo talks to far have been amazing! The effort put in has been fantastic. I have been so impressed and the children have been very confident. I will put on a separate blog post with some pictures when they are all done.

Today we learned about vowels and consonants. The saying ‘an elephant in orange underpants’ had us giggling but also helped us remember that a e i o and u were our vowels! We wrote our spelling words out in different colours to show the vowels and consonants. We also sorted the letters into hula hoops.
