P2F had great fun learning about ‘y’ as the sound ‘ie’. We made kites and designed them words using our spelling rule and yesterday we got to fly them high in the sky.

P2F Homework 25/02/2019
Hello everyone,
We have a very busy but exciting week this week.
Throughout the next two weeks children will be helping to sell Fairtrade products at our Fairtrade tuckshop at playtimes. . As well as selling the products, your child will be able to purchase these too; all items will be £1.
On Tuesday we have a group coming in called Rainbow Turtle to give us a workshop on all things Fairtrade.
On Friday we are having a very special visit from some residents at the Erskine Care home. We will be spending time with them, playing games and singing with them. After our visit we will be having a Fairtrade tea party within the class. As part of our Maths learning in school we have been learning about measure, in particular weight. As a fun optional homework task we kindly ask that you share in your child’s learning at home by baking a Fairtrade item and bringing it to school on Friday for our tea party. This is optional, but would be a lovely experience for the children if it is at all possible.
Please see the other homework below.
Reading
New books have been issued.
Maths
Odd and even sheet.
Spelling
‘y’ for the sound ‘ie’
Red group: Myself, flying, trying, type.
Green group: Shy, try, fly, sky.
Common words: Been, called, who, am.
As always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me at the end of the day or via the homework diary.
Many thanks,
Miss Finnigan

Fairtrade Tuckshop
Hello,
This year the Primary 2’s will be promoting Fairtrade within the school for Fairtrade Fortnight.

The tuck shop will begin on Monday 25th of February and continue until 8th of March 2019, selling Fairtrade snacks for anyone who wishes to buy. Snacks at the tuck shop will cost £1 each.

Engineering
On Tuesday we started creating our cars. We used the designs we had made to choose materials to bring our design to life.
We discussed how we were using engineering skills such as creative problem solving, adapting and improving to create our cars and how it was good to change things if we find they aren’t working as we would like.
We worked well together in our groups and can’t wait to get back to it after the February weekend!
