Hi there

We are planning to conduct a science experiment next week that will involve the use of plastic bottles. If you have any plastic bottles can you please send them in with your child and give them to Miss Grant.

Thanks

Hi there! I hope you had a restful weekend.

There is no formal homework this week due to the short week. The sound we are learning this week is ‘nk’ as in think, wink. I have asked the children to try and find some of these words in any reading they do at home.

Children have been encouraged to try and play sumdog at least one time this week.

Thanks

Miss Grant

Today, P2 had great fun taking part in a Gaelic music workshop. We learned some different Gaelic phrases to say how we were, as well as learning about some different instruments including the guitar and the accordion. We had a lovely time singing with our visitors.

The children took a leaflet home detailing summer workshops related to this if you wish to find out more information.

Primary 2 have been learning about solids, liquids and gases as part of their science topic.  They enjoyed identifying different things in the classroom as the different types of matter. Today we looked at how matter can change state when a chemical reaction takes place. Each group had their own ice melting experiment to determine what conditions made ice melt the fastest. The different conditions were: salt, warm water, cold water, direct sunlight, use of a radiator and no change. We found out that the bowl of ice that had no change melted the fastest. We believe this was because, due to the sunny day, the classroom held in the heat similar to a greenhouse, causing the ice to melt fast. We had great fun investigating!

Good Afternoon everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Easter.

Here is the homework for this week:

Literacy:

A new book has been issued to each child today.
Spelling rule this week is ‘oy’. The words the children chose were: Red – boy, joy, enjoy and toy. Blue – enjoying, annoyed, royal and destroy. Common words are were, said,  by and not.

Numeracy:

This week the children have been given a problem solving activity that relates to their new topic of direction.

The field timetable is now up and running and children will be told each day if it is their day for the field. They can bring in field shoes to wear when on the field which can be kept in their school bag or their PE kit bag.

Also, for masterclass for the next few weeks Mrs Kane will be holding a pebble painting hour to practise fine motor skills, colour mixing, pattern and mindfulness. If you are able to, please allow your child to bring in a smooth pebble large enough to create paint patterns. If you have any extra around it would be greatly appreciated if these were also brought in to share with the other children.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend with the glorious weather!

With the beautiful weather arriving (and hopefully staying) the field is now open for all children to enjoy. A timetable has been shared with the children as to which days they are allocated for both the field and the pitch. If your child wishes to to go on to the field/pitch, please provide them with an alternative pair of comfortable shoes to change into at lunchtime. These will be kept in your child’s schoolbag, as there is limited space in both our classroom and the cloakroom.

Also, for masterclass for the next few weeks I will be holding a pebble painting hour to practise fine motor skills, colour mixing, pattern and mindfulness. If you are able to, please allow your child to bring in a smooth pebble large enough to create paint patterns. If you have any extra around it would be greatly appreciated if these were also brought in to share with the other children.

Please see below for our homework this week. Please note that because of the short week Maths homework is due in on Friday, rather than Thursday.

Many thanks,

Mrs Kane.

The game can be as creative as they wish. Here are some suggestions:
