Reading books will be issued this week. If possible ask your child questions about the book to ensure understanding as well as fluency. What was their favourite part of the story? What they did not like? What they think may happen next?
We are very excited to invite you into our classroom for an afternoon of fun activities.
We have been exploring The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch and would like you to join us for a themed afternoon.

Primary 2 are in need of some tubs (along the lines of a pringles tube) for a very special electricity model we will be making in the coming weeks. If you have anything like this and can send it into class that would be much appreciated.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. This week our spelling rule is ‘er’.
ever
number
serve
danger
Our common words are:
say
great
where
small
Spelling words should be written a further twice. Explore the world around you to identify and read other words that use the “er” spelling rule. Children should be familiar with the common words and we are focusing on them being able to spell these as well as being able to recognise and read them.
Select one or more one your spelling words to put into a sentence. The children have been working hard on their sentence structure in Primary 2:
Capital letter at beginning of each sentence.
Finger spaces between each word.
Writing on the line, check formation of letters.
Interesting openers.
Punctuation, full stop at the end of a sentence.
Using nouns and adjectives to expand our sentence.
Spelling words should be written a further twice and at least one sentence using our spelling words. Recognition and understanding of common words is an important part of supporting our reading skills. For fun, the children could try to spot as many common words as they can during the week.
We would love to see the children challenge themselves by thinking of words that rhyme with our spelling words this week, for example: thank – drank, tank.
