The children have been given a special maths challenge for homework. We have asked them to think about all the different topics we have covered so far in maths and create an activity to help the class revise this learning (it can focus on one area or a mixture). It could be a quiz, a board game or a card game. We spoke about activities we already play in class and how they could use these ideas. The children have the next 2 weeks to create the game and it will then be kept in class for them to play during maths times. Good luck and I cannot wait to see what ideas the children come up with!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely and restful holiday.

Term 4 has started off well and we are very exciting to learn lots of new exciting things!

Please see our homework below, noting the difference of submission dates due to the holidays. Maths homework will have a submission date of 2 weeks. Please see information on the letter withing your child’s homework diary, or see below.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter this weekend.

Your child should make a maths game on something that they have learned in maths since joining Primary 2. The games will be kept in class for the children to enjoy during free flow and math sessions, to help them remember previous learning. The game should be handed in on Monday 29^th of April.

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

Today we came to the end of our cars project. Everyone had a fantastic experience and some children said that it had inspired them to become an engineer! Six cars competed to travel furthest and as straight as possible. Creativity of design was also part of the criteria! All the cars did very well but the tiger car was the final winner. Well done to everyone! The children worked very hard and really enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Matthew and Alan, our engineers who helped us make our cars. Thank you also to all parents who sent in items for us to use in our car designs.

P2F have had a wonderful week taking part in Big Pedal.

I hope everyone has a lovely holiday! See you after Easter.

Miss Finnigan

We have been developing our loose parts and creative areas in the classroom! Thank you so much to those parents have already sent in lots of things for us to use! If you have anything lying about like old buttons, pieces of material, junk like milk cartons or kitchen roll holders, shells, pebbles, marbles, sticks then feel free to send them in for us to use.

Thanks again

Miss Grant

This Thursday afternoon we will have our annual House Quiz. To get into the spirit, we would encourage pupils to wear their House colours (see below) to school. This means it will be a non-uniform day but you should wear something to represent your House colours.

Eagles – yellow

Falcons – Blue

Hawks – Green

Ospreys – Red

Language

New reading book issued. Try to encourage the children to ask questions about their book using the 5 w’s (who, what, where, when, why).

Maths

This week we are focusing on Sumdog however children can still be working on counting on and back in 2s, 5s and 10s.

Other

Each day we will have a slot to go out on bikes and scooters as part of The Big Peddle. It would be helpful for bikes and scooters to be left down in the infant playground each morning as we will mainly be using this playground during the day.

Thursday is our House Quiz so children can wear house colours on this day.

We finish at 2.30pm on Friday. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday.

Good Afternoon everyone!

Homework will be a little different this week on the run up to the holidays.

Literacy:

1. A library book of your child’s choosing will be brought home to enjoy. If your child has finished it before Friday, encourage them to bring it back and choose another to enjoy.
2. Spelling rule this week is ‘or’, however there will be no formal homework on this as it will be done in class time. The words the children chose were: Red  – fork, sport, short and forest, Blue – passport, orphan, fortune and orange.

Numeracy:

1. This week we would like the children to practise their mental maths by logging on to sumdog. A reminder that sumdog passwords are in your child’s homework diaries.

A few reminders:

• This week is Big Pedal – please park bikes and scooters in the corner outside Miss Finnigan’s classroom.
• Thursday – House Quiz day – children are encouraged to wear their house colour this day. Good Luck Primary 2!
