Homework This Week

The focus for homework this week is Reading for Enjoyment. The children have selected a book from the class library that they are interested in. This should be read with an adult and, then please discuss the story using the 3 Sharings – (1)Something you liked and disliked about the book (2) A question/puzzle about the book and (3) A connection you can make with the book.

Our PE days this year are Monday and Friday. If children have earrings in on these days, they have to be able to take them out themselves, or put tape over them.

Diaries have been given out today and children should hand them in each day to be checked by the teacher. This is when we will see any notes or letters.

I hope you enjoy reading together this week.

Miss Hunter.

Week Beginning 20/8/18

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.

I hope you have a fabulous week!

A Great First Couple of Days!

Hi everyone!

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.

I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Miss Grant

Getting to Know You

We are having a lovely first day in Primary 2.  What a GREAT bunch of children.

This afternoon I will be sharing my all about me bag with the children.  If your child would like to, they could make up a little bag of their own,  of no more than three items.  Each item should tell us something about them. For example, ballet shoes if they love ballet, a walking shoe if they enjoy hillwalking or colouring pens if they love to draw.

We will look at 4/5 bags a day over the next week or so, and your child, should they wish,  will get the chance to talk to the class about their personal items.

PE days are Mondays and Fridays so it would be fantastic if all PE kits were in school by the end of the week.  Miss Hunter has lots of exciting games and activities planned for the children, in the gym hall!

Many thanks,

Mrs Simpson

 

 

Hello from Uganda

Hello everyone!

Hope you are are very well and having a super summer holiday. We have been in Uganda for ten days now and it is absolutely fantastic – what a wonderful experience.

I work with teachers at Kiyuya Primary and Nyambindo Primary and have been spending time in every stage, working with teachers on things they want to develop. There are lots of children in both schools but all very kind and friendly – much like all of you!

I have popped some photos below so you can see what its like in the Primary 1 class.

Will check in again – Miss Cauley 🙂

Our Last Day in P2C!

I can’t believe this is our last day in Primary 2C! It has come around so quickly this year – and what a wonderful year it has been. We have made so many fantastic memories as a class, gone on some wonderful trips and learned about so many different things. It has been a true joy to teach Primary 2C this year and get to know all of the children so well.

Thank you all very much for your invaluable support this year, your kind words and your very generous gifts. These will be used to support my interest in sustainable learning during my time in Africa this summer.

I hope you and your family have a fantastic summer and enjoy and make some great memories of your own.  Stay tuned  for some super pictures!

 

 

Week beginning 25th June

Good evening!

It is the last week of school, I can’t believe it! Here is the news for this week:

Wednesday is the last day of school and we finish at 1pm.

On Tuesday, P2B will have some time in the afternoon for a play, and I have told the children that they can bring in one of their own toys for the occasion. No electronics or particularly valuable toys please!

Tomorrow p2 will have their own mini talent show where the children can perform in front of their own year group. This is just for fun and to give the children who were maybe too shy to perform in front of the school, an opportunity to showcase a talent. They can bring an outfit if needed. I can’t wait to see their performances. They don’t have to perform if they don’t want to.

As I’m sure you are all aware now, this will be my final few days at Bishopton Primary before I move on to a new adventure after the summer break. I have had an absolute blast at the school and I have had the best time teaching and getting to know your amazing children. I will absolutely be keeping in touch with the school to find out how they are getting on in primary 3!

Have a wonderful week, fingers crossed that this lovely weather gets better and better for the summer holiday!
