Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely, restful Easter break and were able to enjoy some of the sunshine.

Continuing on from before the break,  four activities will be posted on Teams each day for you to complete.  Please remember that you do not have to complete these for a certain time,  just when you can.  If you are online can you please comment your child’s name or a ‘hello’ on the morning ‘check-in’ post in your child’s class on Teams. This allows us to take a register and keep track of who has been online.

This week our new spelling rule is ‘oi’

Your spelling words this week are:  boil, join, point, spoil

For common words we have picked: the, they, them, then (as revision)

Your child’s class teacher will make a post about using Teams to host a video call for the class. This allows your child to speak to their teacher and classmates. Each class has a scheduled time for their Teams meeting, this will usually take place in the form of a ‘check-in’ on the Monday and ‘check-out’ on the Friday. Please check your child’s team chat to find out their classes time.

As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Have a great week!

P2 team.

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Like last week,  four activities will be posted on teams each day for you to complete.  Please remember that you do not have to complete these for a certain time,  just when you can.  If you are online can you please comment your child’s name on the teams chat. This allows us to take a register and keep track of who has been online.

This week our new spelling rule is ‘or’

Your spelling words this week are:  sort, storm, form, short

For common words we have picked some magic e words with blends: plane, store, slime, prune.

Your child’s teacher has posted about using Zoom on your teams chat. This allows your child to speak to their teacher and classmates. Each class has a scheduled time for their zoom meeting. Please check your child’s team chat to find out their classes time.

As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Have a great week!

Dear Primary 2,

Well done for a fantastic first day of home learning. We are all extremely proud of how well you have all been coping with this new change. Teams is a fantastic resource, however, because it is so good, most schools in Scotland are using it. When there is a high volume of people working on Teams it can slow the system down. Documents might not load properly, worksheets or powerpoints. It may even be difficult for you to upload your work for your teachers to see. When this happens, please do not worry. Just take a wee break and come back to it. Or start a new task.

A few wee helpful tips and reminders to make this process easier

• You can click onto your notebook for each area (Literacy, Numeracy and Maths, IDL, Homework, Health and Well-being) and carry out work there, rather than trying to upload your work.
• When you have completed work, could you please post on your class’ teams page to let your teacher know where to find your work to mark.
• On the assignment page you can also click that you have seen the task or completed it. This is another way to notify teachers, once again though, please let us know where you have either uploaded your work or completed your work.
• We have made the deadlines for each task for the Friday of the same week. This was just to ease the pressure from trying to complete all the tasks and upload them all in the one day. When you complete a task, and if you can upload evidence of work, please do. You do not need to wait until Friday.

A little extra note, there is a maths grid which has been uploaded to our teams’ page. This is your maths homework. You only need to complete one of these throughout the week. There will be numeracy and maths tasks/assignments posted every day. These should be completed every day. Literacy homework will be put into Monday’s literacy task.

As always we appreciate your cooperation,

Primary Two Teaching Team.

Hello everyone,

We hope you had a lovely weekend.

We know that as we move into the next couple of weeks and the new term, that things will be slightly different. However P2 teachers will endeavour to keep things as normal and consistent for the children as possible.

Glow teams reminders:

• Please check daily for your child’s work under the ‘assignments’ tab. Not all assignments will require you to post something, but we would love some photographs or examples of work if possible.
• You child has access to their very own ‘Class notebook’ on glow teams, which is essentially like their very own little jotter. They have been split into different subject areas (literacy, numeracy, health & wellbeing, IDL and homework)  to help them to organise their work. This is available for children to evidence what they have been doing, making etc
• As much as we can no longer provide your child with a physical reading book at the moment, we do please ask that we continue to read with your child each day.

As always, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Many thanks,

The Primary Two team

Hi everyone,

We hope you’re having a lovely weekend. As we spoke about last week, learning will be a little different. Learning will take place on Microsoft Teams (your child has a username and password for this) and has had practise logging in in class. Everyday, we will post tasks to be completed. These may be in the form of assignments that will be posted on Microsoft Teams, or a message on our class teams page. To complete tasks, you can take a picture of work you have completed on paper and upload it, use the class notebooks function, or upload on assignments directly. Remember you can upload photos of you playing outside too. Don’t worry too much about hand in dates, just do your best to complete what you can. Remember, learning can take place in the form of helping around the house, cooking and baking and going outside in the garden too. Don’t worry if we have a few teething problems with the technology, just carry on doing what you can.

Each day, we will log on from 9am and would ask that you check in with us at some point throughout the day. We will be available to chat if you need anything at all. You can contact us through teams on the chat function, on the teams class page or through email.

Take care, we’re in this together. Don’t forget to play and have fun!

Miss Grant, Miss Finnigan, Mrs Kane, Miss Gilbert, Miss Frew and Mrs Simpson
