Hello, Primary 2,

It’s Maths Week in Bishopton! We will be looking at linking maths to all aspects of our learning. The teachers have lots of fun things planned and organised for you!
As you may know, a Bishopton Primary tradition during Maths Week is to visit the local co-op. This links to numeracy and maths because we are using our counting skills and knowledge of money. The P2 teachers would like to say thank you to all those parents and guardians who volunteered to help walk us along to the co-op.
Please remember to bring £1 to spend in the shops. Your class will be visiting the Co-op on

P2E – Tuesday 28^th September 9:00 am
P2K –  Thursday 30^th September 11:45 am
P2B – Thursday 30^th September 11:45 am

Please keep an eye out on your class TEAMS page, as there will be lots of photos of the fun maths activities posted throughout the week.

Thank you
The Primary 2 Teaching Team

Good morning.

We hope you all had a lovely weekend.

This week we have our school photos (Wednesday and Thursday). This is just a reminder to ensure your child/children come to school wearing their beautiful, smart school uniform and big smiles!

Thank you very much!

Good morning everyone,

We hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Please find the homework for this week below.

Spelling

In class, you will have learned the spelling rule ‘ng’.
For your spelling homework, we would like you to write the spelling rule and common words out two further 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. If you would like to add more challenge, why not try to grow your words or think of other words which follow the same spelling rule. There is an example below. This should be returned by Friday for your teacher to mark.

Here is a little video to help remind you of the spelling rule this week.

1. long
2. sing
3. cling

Can you try to create a sentence which should include at least one spelling rule word. Here is an example.

The maths homework grid should be attached to your homework assignment.  remember to only complete one activity a week. The activities chosen should be different each week. This is to give the children some variety.

Your child has been issued a new book to read at home.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s teacher.

We are missing a navy blue rain jacket. It has the school badge on it and is labelled with the child’s name. If you find it, please return to Primary 1.
