Today your child received a letter regarding a lunch for the school trip. Please return this as soon as possible so that we know if your child requires a school lunch to be provided for them. In addition, we will be needing some helpers to assist us on our trip. Please let your child’s class teacher know if you are kindly able to help, either at the end of the day or via the homework diary.

Tomorrow is World Book Day. It will be a non-uniform day, children can wear pyjamas, onesies or a costume if they wish. There is a £1 donation for this.
Could we please ask that children bring in a book from home which they can read in class. We will also be having a special read and munch. Therefore, please could you also provide a healthy snack. If they wish, children can bring in a Teddy from home too.
Throughout the day we will be carrying out lots of fun activities. We hope to post some photos of the activities on the blog too.
If you would like to join in with World Book Day at home, you could have your child read a book to you. We would love to find out your favourite part of the book and why!
On Thursday it is world Book day and children have asked to bring in their favourite book to share with their read and munch partner. The day will be a non-uniform day and children can also wear pyjamas if they wish. There is a £1 donation for this. Some children have asked to wear slippers. We have agreed to this as long as they wear them in the classroom only. They will be asked to change into outdoor shoes for breaks and hometime. We also ask that children are able to read a book to an adult at some point this week as we will ask them about this in class.
We will be doing lots of fun literacy activities in class. Keep an eye out on the blog to see what we are up to!
At the moment we are taking part in a Car Engineering Project. The children have designed their own cars. We are now at the stage of creating and decorating the cars. We are hoping that you might be able to help us with some of the resources the children have asked for. If you have any of the items below could you please send them into school with your child:
P2F and P2G have been learning about measuring. We have enjoyed using a variety of different measuring equipment to estimate then measure objects in our classroom.
Please find Primary 2 homework and reminders below.
At some point over the next few weeks, your child will take home an animal from the Rainforest. As part of our rainforest topic, children have been asked to write a small diary entry detailing what the animal got up to when they took them home. The animal will be taken home for one night only to allow all children to have a turn. If you do not get a chance to write in the diary, we have explained to the children that it is ok to tell us what they were up to instead.
Today we had our STEM day and what a fantastic day we had. First we had a great presentation from our terrific STEM ambassador about growing different seeds. We were told that we were going to decorate our own pot to grow some seeds, however we could only decorate our pot with biodegradable materials. We went on a nature walk and gathered different leafs and flowers to decorate our pots. Next, we planted cress seeds. We are excited to watch them grow!
Then we planted a class pot of strawberry seeds after learning all about the different needs of a plant.
We then read a book called The World Came to my Place Today, which told us all about where different materials come from. We noticed that a lot of the materials came from the rainforest, which is our current topic! We were glad to have learned a bit more about it.
Finally, we took part in our cluster STEM mascot competition. We each created a STEM mascot that told us why STEM was important.
We had such a good day and learned lots! Thanks to our STEM ambassador who was a great help to us throughout the day.

Birthdays – We have been learning about the months of the year in French, and have been singing along to a French birthday song. We have gone over when everyone’s birthday is but some children are still a little unsure. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help your child with this at home by checking they know when their birthday is. Many thanks.
Scottish Poems – Our Scottish assembly is fast approaching and we are looking forward to hearing the children recite their poem at some point this week.
Shoe box donations – Thank you so much for all of your kind donations of shoe boxes. We still require quite a few more per class and ask that you continue to send these in if you can. Could you please ensure that the shoe boxes you hand in have a completely removable lid. This is to allow us to secure these to the bottom of the box, allowing a sturdy piece of cardboard for us to put the wheel axis through.
