Homework letters have been issued today and are in your child’s book bag. I will also post the letter details on here. Word walls will also be given out to children next week.
P2 Homework Letter (P2G)
We hope that you have all had a super summer. The children are all settling in well to their new routines and we are all enjoying getting to know each other.
P.E. days will be Thursday and Friday, however we intend to participate in a daily mile and so it would be much appreciated if the children had the appropriate footwear and a waterproof jacket everyday.
Please see the table below for a detailed outline of homework tasks. Covering homework diaries and jotters would be most helpful, thank you. Book Bags should be brought to school everyday.

Friday. On Friday your child will hand in their reading book and their book bag will stay in class. They will receive a new reading book on Monday.
Encouraging your child to read a variety of texts will enhance and enrich their literacy skills. This can be absolutely anything that they are interested in: novels, picture books, recipe books, comics or non-fiction books. There will be plenty of opportunities for your child to talk about the books he/she has read. We really appreciate the time you take with your child to support their learning. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Good Morning! What a fantastic week we have ahead!
Pupils have personally chosen a reading for pleasure book today and have taken it home in their reading bags. I have asked that they read the book with an adult over the week and be ready to share one like about the book and one dislike about the book for Friday 24th August.
Spelling Homework will be issued next week, however pupils will be completing work on their first sound, sh, in class this week. This will allow them to take part in the normal spelling homework activities that they will complete next week at home. This will include:
writing the words out twice (4 spelling rule words and 4 common words)
finding different words with the rule (an extra 2 in their homework jotters)
Writing one sentence for one of their spelling rule words and one sentence for one of their common words
Maths Homework will be issued next week.
For PE lessons, girls wearing earrings have been asked to either remove them before PE or tape them back for heath and safety.
It has been so exciting to get to meet you and get to know you. I hope you have enjoyed your first couple of days in Primary 2. Homework will start next week so make sure to bring your homework diaries in. Our PE days are Thursday and Friday. I know many of you have already brought your PE kit into class. Feel free to place any letters or notes into homework diaries and I will get them when I collect the diaries in each day.
P6G have teamed up with P2C to do a read and munch every Friday to read our stories to each other with a healthy snack. We really enjoyed this and primary two were fantastic listeners! We are looking forward to next week when they bring books up to us to read!
